Women's nightmare! 4 symptoms of advanced ovarian cancer

Symptoms of late-stage ovarian cancer include abdominal pain, back pain, abdominal mass, ascites, malnutrition, weight loss and compression symptoms. Tumor metastasis can cause symptoms related to the metastatic site.

1. Abdominal pain and ascites <br/>Ovarian cancer generally does not cause pain symptoms. In late stage ovarian cancer, rupture, bleeding or infection may occur, compressing surrounding tissues and organs, which may cause abdominal pain and back pain. As the tumor continues to grow and exceeds the pelvic cavity, it will cause abdominal masses, abdominal distension symptoms, and ascites may occur.
2. Weight loss <br/>In the late stage of ovarian cancer, due to the rapid growth of the tumor, the tumor cells squeeze out nutrients in the body, causing the patient to experience symptoms of malnutrition and weight loss.
3. Compression symptoms <br/> Rapid tumor growth can cause compression on surrounding organs and cause related symptoms. If the tumor compresses the bladder, it can cause dysuria and frequent urination; if it compresses the rectum, it can cause dysuria; if it compresses the diaphragm, it can cause dyspnea.
4. Tumor metastasis <br/>Ovarian cancer in the late stage may metastasize. If it metastasizes to both ovaries, it may cause menstrual disorders; lung metastasis may cause coughing, coughing up blood, etc.
