Ovarian cancer is a common tumor condition of female genitals. Its incidence rate is high, and the older the female is, the higher the incidence rate is. Generally speaking, the occurrence of ovarian cancer is mainly related to the following factors. Let's see what is specific.
Environmental factors can also cause ovarian cancer. Do you know the five triggers?
1. Endocrine factors
Ovarian ovulation can damage epithelial cells, and repeated damage and repair may lead to cancer. However, early menarche and late amenorrhea increase the frequency of ovulation, and the risk of ovarian cancer also increases. Fertility, breastfeeding, and taking contraceptive pills can inhibit ovulation
2. Hormonal factors
Exogenous estrogen usually increases the incidence of ovarian cancer, and pregnancy hormones are antagonists of estrogen, which have a certain inhibitory effect on the occurrence of ovarian cancer. Promoting follicular hyperplasia may also promote the secretion of estrogen by cancer cells, exerting indirect effects.
3. Environmental factors
In fact, the occurrence of ovarian cancer is also closely related to environmental factors. In industrialized countries, the incidence of ovarian cancer is much higher than in underdeveloped countries. Therefore, the environment can also lead to ovarian cancer. In this regard, women must also pay attention to it to avoid being troubled by diseases, and should also pay attention to the health of the surrounding environment.
4. Genetic factors
There are also family factors in heredity. People with a family history of ovarian cancer are most at risk. Usually, the aggregation of ovarian cancer families has a great relationship with heredity, which is mainly manifested as Autosome dominant inheritance. However, a small number of ovarian cancer related to heredity, generally less than 5%.
5. Other factors
In addition, X-ray irradiation, viral infection, racial differences, dietary habits, and other factors are related to the incidence of ovarian cancer. Therefore, these conditions can also lead to ovarian cancer. When you have these problems, you must make timely adjustments to effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases and ensure your health.
Ovarian cancer has a higher incidence and mortality rate. Women should be vigilant and take preventive measures to minimize the harm caused by ovarian cancer to patients. When ovarian cancer occurs in the body, it is necessary to immediately seek medical treatment to reduce the harm caused by the disease to oneself.
