The six common symptoms of ovarian cancer in women with ovarian cancer can be examined

Ovarian cancer is a serious disease, and its incidence rate is also very high. You should pay attention to your physical changes, especially if you are abnormal, you must immediately go to a regular hospital for examination.

Symptoms and manifestations of ovarian cancer

1. Vaginal and lower limb edema: With the increase of ovarian cancer, pelvic veins are compressed, blood flow is blocked, and lymphatic reflux is hindered. Vaginal and lower limb edema is the initial symptom of ovarian cancer.

2. Gastrointestinal symptoms: menopausal women often feel abdominal distension and anorexia. When gastrointestinal diseases are not found in the gastroenterology examination, gynecological treatment is required. Because the tumor of ovarian cancer will cause the surrounding ligaments to be compressed and pulled, plus the stimulation of ascites, the early symptoms of ovarian cancer often appear gastrointestinal symptoms.

3. Lumbar and abdominal dull pain and dull pain: The early symptom of ovarian cancer is that if the tissues adjacent to the ovary are infiltrated or adhered to by cancer, the appearance of ovarian cancer is easy to cause lumbar and abdominal dull pain and dull pain.

4. Menstrual disorders or menopause: The pathological types of ovarian cancer are complex and variable. When some tumors secrete too much estrogen, they can cause precocious puberty, menstrual disorders or postmenopausal vaginal bleeding; If it is testicular blastoma, it will produce too much androgen and appear masculine signs, which is also the early symptoms of ovarian cancer.

5. Sexual hormone disorder: the pathological type of ovarian cancer is complicated, when the tumor secretes too much estrogen, precocious puberty, menstrual disorders, vaginal bleeding after amenorrhea, testicular mother cell cancer, and male physical signs are too many.

6. Compression symptoms: When the tumor infiltrates into the surrounding tissues or compresses the nerves, it can cause abdominal pain, low back pain or sciatica. If the pelvic vein is compressed, lower limb edema may occur; Huge tumors can compress the bladder, with frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and retention of urine; It is difficult to defecate if the rectum is compressed; If the gastrointestinal tract is compressed, there will be gastrointestinal symptoms; Compressing the diaphragm can cause dyspnea and cannot lie flat.

Examination of ovarian cancer

1. Exfoliative cytology examination: This examination method is mainly to extract cells from exfoliated tissue for diagnostic examination. The location of the cells can be extracted from the vagina, cervical canal and uterine cavity, as well as from the uterus and rectum.

2. Fine needle aspiration absorption test: this test method is generally used for the identification and diagnosis of ovarian cancer, which can be performed when other tests are difficult to determine. Cell examination can be performed through vaginal, rectal and abdominal puncture, or through superficial lymph nodes such as supraclavicular or inguinal lymph nodes. The examination of retroperitoneal lymph nodes can be guided by fluoroscopy, ultrasound or CT scanning to improve the accuracy of the puncture department.
