Ovarian cancer is a serious disease and one of the common gynecological diseases that we need to pay attention to. The harm to patients after illness is also very serious, and we must know its common pathogenic factors.
Can ovarian cancer be transmitted?
Medical experts have confirmed this through extensive experiments. Most ovarian cancer patients have no changes in their menstrual cycle. If the ovary has malignant changes, or both ovaries are damaged by cancer tissue, the patient's general condition is poor, and Hypomenorrhea or amenorrhea may occur. The menstruation of many patients with ovarian cancer is basically unchanged. With the increase of cancer, cancer cells will destroy the normal tissue of the ovary, leading to ovarian dysfunction, resulting in Hypomenorrhea or amenorrhea. Regular gynecological examinations are a very good method for early detection of ovarian tumors.
Causes of ovarian cancer
1. Early menarche and late amenorrhea: Animal testing show that after ovulation, ovarian epithelial hyperplasia is fast and mitosis is active around the ovulation point. The more ovulation cycles a woman has in her life, the greater the risk of ovarian cancer. Early menarche and late amenorrhea are one of the risk factors of ovarian cancer
2. Unmarried, childless, and non breastfeeding: Studies have shown that unmarried and childless (infertility) are high-risk factors for ovarian cancer. Compared with pregnant women, the risk of primary infertility is 1.7 times higher in the former. The longer the number of years of infertility, the greater the risk. If the number of years of infertility reaches 15 or more, the risk of ovarian cancer significantly increases. Pregnancy can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, and the more times and months of pregnancy, the lower the risk of ovarian cancer. The first pregnancy has a strong protective effect, reducing the risk of ovarian cancer by 40%. Abortion, stillbirth and Ectopic pregnancy also reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.
3. High fat diet: high Animal fat intake increases the risk of ovarian cancer. If you drink whole milk every day, the risk of ovarian cancer also increases. The more you drink, the greater the risk, and the lower the risk of drinking skim milk. The risk mechanism is that Animal fat plays a carcinogenic role under the effect of a certain hormone, and Animal fat ingests estrogen under the action of intestinal bacteria, and estrogen causes ovarian cancer. Second, polycyclic hydrocarbons in Animal fat have carcinogenic effects on animal ovaries. Third, the intake of Animal fat will change the immune function of the host and increase the lethality of cancer..
