What effect does ovarian cancer have on the fetus

Many times, people do not pay attention to some minor ovarian diseases, and they will regret it when it develops into ovarian cancer. We all know that cancer is very harmful, but what impact will ovarian cancer have on the fetus when pregnant women have it? When it comes to ovarian cancer, many friends are still not very familiar with its harm. Today we will introduce it to us so that we can do a better job of prevention and protect our health.

Ovarian malignant tumor is one of the common malignant tumors of female reproductive organs, and its incidence rate ranks third after cervical cancer and uterine body cancer. However, the mortality rate of ovarian epithelial cancer ranks first among all gynecological tumors, posing a serious threat to women's lives. Due to the complexity of ovarian embryonic development, tissue anatomy and endocrine function, early symptoms are atypical, and it is quite difficult to distinguish the tissue type and benign and malignant nature of ovarian tumors before surgery. Epithelial cancer is the most common type of ovarian malignant tumor, followed by malignant germ cell tumors.
1. Miscarriage or premature birth: When the ovarian tumor is large, it may squeeze the uterus and fetus and cause abnormal fetal position, resulting in miscarriage or premature birth.
2. Abnormal delivery: When the ovarian tumor is large, it may squeeze and cause abnormal fetal position, affecting normal delivery. In addition, when the tumor pedicle is too long, the tumor may fall into the uterine rectal fossa and become incarcerated, which will hinder the birth of the fetus and cause dystocia.
3. Infertility: Reports show that the infertility rate of ovarian cancer patients can be as high as 40%, because ovarian cancer can affect ovarian function. When the tumor is large, it will compress the fallopian tubes and cause blockage of the fallopian tubes, which will affect conception.
4. Impact on the fetus: Ovarian tumors themselves have no obvious adverse effects on the fetus, but when complications occur and the tumor ruptures and requires surgical treatment, or when the tumor is malignant ovarian cancer and requires chemotherapy, it will affect the fetus. In the treatment of malignant tumors, the fetus may even have to be abandoned in order to save the life of the pregnant woman.
