How long can you live without treatment of ovarian tumor

The incidence of ovarian malignant tumors is gradually increasing in our lives, so people are afraid of such diseases. No one wants to be troubled by such malignant tumors, so we should learn more about the common knowledge about ovarian malignant tumors. The following is about how long you can live without treatment of ovarian tumors.

What is the estimated mortality rate of ovarian cancer?

Do you know the mortality rate of ovarian malignant tumors? Experts have obtained these data after checking the data, and now share them with you. The ovaries are organs that produce eggs and secrete female hormones. There are two ovaries in the human body, and ovarian malignant tumors are malignant tumors that occur in the ovaries. Ovarian malignant tumors are currently the fifth most common cancer in the world, with a mortality rate that exceeds the sum of cervical malignant tumors and uterine body cancers, ranking first among gynecological tumors.

Ovarian malignancies can occur at any age, but most occur after menopause - half of which occur after the age of 65. According to US statistics, the risk of American women developing ovarian malignancies in their lifetime is about 1.5%. The incidence of ovarian malignancies in Chinese women is slightly lower. In 1997, about 26,800 Americans were diagnosed with ovarian malignancies, of which 14,200 died from the disease. If early diagnosis can be achieved, the 5-year survival rate can reach 92%. However, when diagnosed with ovarian malignancies, it is often in the late stage of the tumor, and it may have spread widely to organs such as the liver, stomach, and small intestine, or it may have spread to other parts through the blood and lymph.

Malignant cysts pose a serious threat to women's health

Ovarian cysts are one of the common gynecological tumors. Many women do not know that they have ovarian tumors, thinking that they are young and cannot have such a problem. Some women think that the cysts are small and do not take it seriously. In fact, this idea is wrong.

16-year-old Xiaoli wanted to go to the hospital for an abortion because of an unexpected pregnancy, but the doctor found that Xiaoli's belly was as big as if she was eight or nine months pregnant. After examination, it was found that this belly that had gained weight for no reason was actually a teratoma. She always thought that she was getting fat, and never thought that she had such a gynecological disease at such a young age. When 26-year-old Miss Liu was doing a pre-marital examination, she found that she had an ovarian cyst. After going to the operating table, the doctor found that it was a malignant tumor. In the end, the young life could not escape the fate of death.

Although most ovarian cysts are benign and do not threaten life and health, if they are allowed to grow and develop, they may even become malignant tumors, which may endanger life. Due to the lack of effective diagnostic methods, the survival rate of ovarian malignant tumors is still low, hovering at 25-30%. With the progress in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer has become a tumor that seriously threatens women's health.

It is recommended to have an ultrasound examination 2 to 3 years after puberty

Long-term unreasonable diet structure, high cholesterol and high protein, lack of vitamins A, C, and E are all related to the onset of ovarian cysts. Frequent use of oral contraceptives, smoking, excessive psychological stress and other factors cause excessive acidification of the body, the overall function of the human body declines, causing ovarian diseases and endocrine disorders, and decreased immune function, which develop into abnormal proliferation of ovarian tissue, eventually leading to ovarian cysts and even cancer.

Clinically, ovarian cysts present with lower abdominal pain, discomfort, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, abnormal vaginal discharge odor, and menstrual irregularities. Some patients can even feel a swelling in the lower abdomen, and sometimes sexual intercourse can cause pain. Most ovarian cysts have no obvious clinical manifestations in the early stages and grow "without pain or itching". Patients are often diagnosed when they seek medical treatment for other diseases or undergo gynecological examinations.

Therefore, after girls enter puberty, they should have an ultrasound examination at least once every 2 to 3 years;

The most common ovarian cysts in women of childbearing age are functional ovarian cysts, so married women should undergo a gynecological examination every year to detect the disease early.

Based on the editor's introduction, we can understand that ovarian malignant tumors have a relatively high mortality rate. Therefore, in the future, in addition to paying attention to the prevention of ovarian malignant tumors, we must also actively seek treatment if we suffer from the disease to avoid such diseases causing too much health harm to our patients.
