How to judge whether there is early ovarian cancer? No matter which organ of the body has problems, women will have some symptoms. Women should pay attention to their own ovarian health problems in order to find and treat them early. So how to judge whether there is early ovarian cancer?
How to judge whether there is early ovarian cancer 1 1 and mild abdominal distension?
Although the signal is not obvious in the early stage of ovarian cancer, there are still traces to follow. If you have a slight feeling of bloating, it is probably the invasion of disease. Because with the passage of time after ovarian cancer surgery, the local tumor gradually increases, which may cause peritoneal effusion and pelvic effusion in the process of tumor increase.
At first, the water accumulation is not obvious, but people who are sensitive to the body will feel flatulence in the abdomen. Many people don't care, thinking that they have eaten something bad or have indigestion, and they don't pay enough attention to it. Maybe the feeling of bloating will be more obvious. This situation is related to the accumulation of local water, which may become more and more obvious.
2, lymph node enlargement
Most patients with ovarian cancer whose early signals are not obvious, but who are sensitive or whose tumors develop rapidly, will have swollen lymph nodes due to the influence of tumors. Most lymphadenopathy is caused by inflammation in the body.
During the development of ovarian malignant tumor, there will be changes inside the tumor, and there is a great possibility of infection during the growth process. However, the body is infected, local inflammation occurs, and often superficial lymph nodes will swell. With this special performance, we should also be alert to judge whether there is a malignant tumor threatening our health.
3, occasional abdominal pain
Mild abdominal pain is not taken seriously by many people. They think that mild abdominal pain is just eating something bad and doesn't need detailed examination. I don't know. Mild abdominal pain is probably also a signal from the tumor. The health of ovarian cancer will be affected, and the tumor will gradually increase with the development of the disease.
It is also possible that there are changes inside the tumor, such as rapid increase in a short period of time, bleeding or necrosis inside the tumor, which will cause abdominal pain to a certain extent. Although most patients will not feel pain in the early stage, some patients with physical sensitivity will have this special performance, which should be paid enough attention to.
4. Fatigue and fatigue
Ovarian cancer is not an ordinary ailment. The health of local cancer is affected, and there will be many disease signals, especially inexplicable fatigue, and the mental state has deteriorated a lot. This situation is likely to be cancer invasion. Most cancers will have this special performance, which is related to the development of cancer cells that get too much energy and nutrition. Normal cells in the body are undernourished, and besides weight changes, people's mental state will also deteriorate.
How to judge whether there is early ovarian cancer 2 1? In the early stage of ovarian cancer, the patient may have no symptoms, but with the gradual growth of malignant tumor, many abdominal masses will appear in the patient, accompanied by ascites, so the patient will have abdominal distension at this time. Sometimes, patients will feel abdominal distension or abdominal enlargement, but in fact, the more ascites, the more serious abdominal distension symptoms will be.
2. In the early stage of ovarian cancer, the most typical symptoms are abdominal distension, ascites and edema of lower limbs. With the further increase of ovarian cancer volume, patients will have edema of vulva and lower limbs. At this time, the patient's menstruation will be reduced or amenorrhea will occur, and the adjacent tissues of the ovary will be infiltrated by cancer, or tissue adhesion will occur, so that the patient will have symptoms of low back and abdominal pain.
3. In the early days, if patients observe carefully, they can also find some clues. Many patients with ovarian cancer will have symptoms of abdominal discomfort such as indigestion, bloating, thickening, etc. These are actually early symptoms of ovarian cancer, especially after eating, the symptoms of flatulence are more obvious. After these symptoms appear, women must go to the hospital in time to avoid missing the best opportunity for disease treatment.
The above analysis is an early symptom of ovarian cancer. Women suffering from this malignant tumor disease must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Although the early symptoms of ovarian cancer are not particularly obvious, if the body is normal, you will feel some obvious abnormalities. At this time, I suggest you go to the hospital for examination, find the symptoms in time and treat the symptoms.
How to judge whether there is early ovarian cancer 3? What are the symptoms of ovarian cancer?
Because of the special structure of ovary, the incidence of ovarian cancer is mostly hidden, and the early symptoms are not obvious, so many patients are mostly in the middle and late stage once they are found. However, it is not without warning, but we often ignore the "warning signal" sent by the body.
Because, our body is like a complex and sophisticated large instrument. If something goes wrong, there will definitely be abnormal signals, which need our attention. As far as ovarian cancer is concerned, the following symptoms are abnormal signals from the body. You should be alert to:
1, irregular menstruation
About 50% of patients with ovarian cancer have experienced hypomenorrhea, amenorrhea or cycle disorder, or irregular vaginal bleeding.
The possible reason is that the tumor destroyed the normal tissue structure of the ovary, and the new blood vessels around the tumor disrupted the normal blood vessel distribution in the pelvic cavity, causing endometrial congestion.
2. Unexplained gastrointestinal discomfort
If menopausal women often have "gastrointestinal symptoms" such as abdominal distension and loss of appetite, but after systematic examination, no gastrointestinal abnormalities are found, it is necessary to consider whether there is the possibility of ovarian cancer and further gynecological examination can be done.
The possible reasons are: the tumor itself compresses and expands the peripheral ligaments in the abdominal cavity; The occurrence of ascites caused by tumor will also make patients feel abdominal distension.
3. Abdominal pain and lumbago (dull pain or severe pain)
Similar to the last one, menopausal women have unexplained abdominal and waist pain. After systematic examination, other diseases may be ruled out, and further gynecological examination may be considered.
The possible reason is that ovarian cancer infiltrates surrounding tissues or adheres to adjacent tissues, which can cause abdominal pain and low back pain by compressing nerves, and its nature ranges from dull pain to dull pain, and even more severe pain.
4. Unexplained weight loss
Many cancer patients are likely to lose weight for unknown reasons, so they need to pay attention to losing weight quickly in the short term without dieting.
Possible reasons: the tumor oppresses the gastrointestinal tract, which directly leads to patients eating less and affects digestion and absorption; Most of the body's nutrient supply is consumed by the crazy proliferation of tumor cells.
Second, early screening of ovarian cancer.
With the continuous development of medical technology, there are many ways to detect ovarian cancer early, including:
1, tumor marker examination
Blood CA 125, human epididymal protein 4(HE4), ROMA index, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), CA 19-9, etc. , in which blood CA 125.
2. Image inspection
The main imaging examination methods of ovarian cancer include ultrasound (transvaginal/transabdominal ultrasound), CT scan, MRI scan, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), PET-CT and so on. It can make clear the tumor shape and invasion range, which is helpful for qualitative diagnosis. If adjacent organs are suspected of invasion and distant metastasis, gastrointestinal radiography, intravenous urography and chest CT can be performed accordingly.
3. Cytological and histopathological examination
Ovarian malignant tumors are often complicated with ascites or pleural effusion. Cytological examination of ascites or pleural effusion can find cancer cells. Histopathology is the gold standard of diagnosis. For patients with high clinical suspicion of advanced ovarian cancer, laparoscopic exploratory biopsy can not only obtain tissue samples, but also observe the metastasis and distribution of tumors in abdomen and pelvis, and evaluate whether it is possible to achieve satisfactory tumor reduction surgery.
4. Others
Gastroenteroscopy and laparoscopy, to explore whether metastasis or to judge whether satisfactory tumor reduction surgery can be achieved.
