Environmental factors are one of the factors contributing to ovarian cancer, and seven preventive measures must be taken seriously

Ovarian cancer is a serious gynecological disease, and its occurrence is particularly common. The degree of harm to female patients is well-known. For this disease, it is necessary to clarify the factors of the disease and prevent it reasonably in daily life.

Causes of ovarian cancer

1. Genetic and family factors: among all risk factors of ovarian cancer, the family history of ovarian cancer is the most important risk factor. The family aggregation of ovarian cancer is related to genetic factors, which is manifested as Autosome dominant inheritance. However, ovarian cancer related to genetics only accounts for a minority, less than 5%.

2. Endocrine factors: Continuous ovulation theory: This theory suggests that ovarian ovulation can cause epithelial cell damage, and repeated damage and repair may lead to the promotion of cancer. Early menarche and late amenorrhea increase the frequency of ovulation, leading to an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Fertility, breastfeeding, and oral contraceptives inhibit ovulation, reducing the risk of ovarian cancer.

3. The role of hormones: Exogenous estrogen may increase the risk of ovarian cancer. Pregnancy hormone is an antagonist of estrogen and has a certain inhibitory effect on the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer. Promoting follicular hyperplasia (FSH) can also promote the secretion of estrogen by cancer cells, indirectly playing a role.

4. Environmental factors: environmental factors are also related to incidence rate. In industrialized countries, the incidence rate of ovarian cancer is higher than that in underdeveloped countries.

5. Lifestyle: Research shows that the incidence of ovarian cancer is related to diet. Salted meat products, pickles, spoiled vegetables, meat, etc. contain nitrite. Nitrite itself does not cause cancer, but it can be broken down with amino acids under Henry and other conditions to produce Nitrosamine with strong carcinogenicity.

6. Psychological factors: depression, sadness, longing, loneliness, depression, hatred, inferiority complex, self blame, guilt, interpersonal tension, mental breakdown, boredom, etc. significantly increase the risk of ovarian cancer. Bright, optimistic, and active individuals have the lowest risk, and negative emotions suppress immune system function and weaken the body's ability to fight cancer.

7. Other factors: such as X-ray irradiation, virus infection (mumps, colds, etc.), ethnic differences, eating habits (such as excessive intake of Animal fat), chemical factors, etc. are all related to the incidence of ovarian cancer.

Prevention of ovarian cancer

1. Exercise more to improve body immunity: A study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pennsylvania, USA, found that women who exercise regularly have a 27% lower chance of developing breast cancer in their lifetime compared to women who do not exercise. Regular exercise can significantly improve the body's immune system. For people who do not like sports, in order to improve their immunity, they can take medicines and healthy foods containing Ginsenoside Rh2, a traditional Chinese medicine. Ginsenoside Rh2 can reverse the differentiation of cancer cells into normal cells, control the proliferation cycle of tumor cells, and achieve immune regulation.
