Clinical manifestations, smaller masses generally do not produce symptoms, and occasionally the affected lower abdomen feels heavy or painful. Can clearly touch the abdominal mass, smooth surface, no tenderness, cystic feeling. Most benign tumors form long stems with fallopian tubes. Because the tumor has no adhesion with the surrounding tissues and has great fluidity, it can often push the mass from the lower abdomen to the upper abdomen.
There are 7 kinds of abnormalities in women with ovarian cancer.
1. Abdominal mass.
Especially the single fixed mass on both sides of the lower abdomen, we must pay special attention to it, which is one of the common manifestations of ovarian cancer.
2. Irregular menstrual cycle
The ovary produces and exports eggs every month and secretes estrogen. Once cancer cells invade the ovary, it may cause menstrual changes, such as menstrual cycle disorder and obvious changes in menstrual volume.
3. Unresolved fatigue
Cancer is a wasting disease. Cancer cells will rob the normal cells of the body of nutrients, resulting in insufficient energy and nutrients that people can use, which makes people exhausted and often feel very tired and lack of energy.
And it's hard to relax through rest.
With the growth and enlargement of ovarian tumor, it will oppress the surrounding organs and cause symptoms related to digestive system and urinary system.
So what I said above mainly includes the following points.
4. Lower abdominal pain/pelvic pain
If you often have lower abdominal pain, especially persistent pain on both sides of the pelvis, you should be alert to the lesions and diagnose them as soon as possible.
5. Symptoms related to digestive system
If the tumor is enlarged and pressed into the intestine, it will induce constipation, diarrhea and other problems.
6. Frequent urination
If the ovarian tumor reaches the bladder and other parts, it will produce symptoms related to the urinary system, such as frequent urination and urinary incontinence.
7. Non-menstrual vaginal bleeding
This is also one of the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Whether it is caused by ovarian cancer or not, non-menstrual vaginal bleeding should be vigilant and diagnosed as soon as possible.
Ovarian cancer is easy to find three types of people, so be vigilant.
Remind high-risk groups of ovarian cancer to strengthen their vigilance against ovarian cancer and have regular physical examinations. The following factors will increase the risk of ovarian cancer.
1. Family history of ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer is related to gene mutation. At present, 16 gene mutation points related to ovarian cancer have been found. Therefore, if you have a family history of ovarian cancer, the chances of developing ovarian cancer in the future will be much higher than the average person. So we should strengthen prevention.
2. Irregular menstruation
The healthy level of ovary can be reflected from menstruation. People with irregular menstruation and premature menarche, and women with short menstrual cycle and frequent dysmenorrhea are more likely to suffer from ovarian cancer.
3. Late childbearing, infertility and fewer children
Women with late childbearing, infertility, less childbearing and no breastfeeding have a higher risk of ovarian cancer, because the above behaviors will affect the duration of estrogen exposure and ovulation.
Based on the introduction of the above article, we should know that there are still many early symptoms of ovarian cysts. Chen Changhuai, director of Beijing Sanxitang Chinese Medicine Clinic, hopes that all these early symptoms can be found in the first time, and at the same time, we should learn more about ovarian cysts and make correct treatment.
