Other common manifestations of ovarian cancer include compression symptoms

The more common manifestations of ovarian cancer include compression symptoms. Of course, patients may also experience menstrual disorders or lower abdominal discomfort. So what are the common symptoms of ovarian cancer ? This question has been raised by many people, and the following is an introduction to this question.

Symptoms of ovarian cancer mainly include the following:

1. Menstrual disorders. Except for tumors with endocrine effects, ovarian tumors, even bilateral ovarian tumors, generally do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues, so the symptoms of ovarian cancer mostly do not cause menstrual disorders. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other endocrine effects.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass are the most common symptoms of ovarian cancer. Patients notice that their clothes or belts are too tight, and they just notice that their abdomen is enlarged, or they feel it by chance in the morning, so they touch their abdomen and find a mass in their abdomen, and then they seek medical attention due to abdominal distension and discomfort.

3. Compression symptoms. Huge ovarian tumors can cause dyspnea and palpitations due to compression of the diaphragm. Ovarian tumors combined with large amounts of ascites can also cause such symptoms of ovarian cancer. However, the dyspnea of ​​some ovarian tumor patients is caused by unilateral or bilateral pleural effusion.

4. Lower abdominal discomfort is the initial symptom of ovarian cancer before the patient feels a lower abdominal mass. Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and body position changes, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, pulling on its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, causing the patient to feel fullness and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

5. Abdominal pain. If the tumor has no complications, there is very little pain. Therefore, if patients with ovarian tumors feel pain, especially if it occurs suddenly, it is often due to the torsion of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally it is a symptom of ovarian cancer caused by tumor rupture, bleeding or infection.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Do you understand them? I hope that if patients find that they have the disease, timely treatment is the most important thing. Of course, they must face the disease squarely and receive treatment seriously to ensure their health.
