Will I die from an ovarian tumor?

The probability of women developing ovarian tumors is very high. We must be prepared to prevent ovarian tumors in our lives, because we don’t know when ovarian malignant tumors will come to us. So will we die from ovarian tumors? The following is a detailed introduction for everyone.

The answer is yes, there is a certain chance of death if you have ovarian tumors.

The incidence is higher in industrialized countries because dietary fat intake is too high. The risk is increased in women with a history of nulliparity, infertility, late childbearing, or delayed childbearing. The risk is significantly reduced in women who use oral contraceptives.

Those with a personal or family history of endometrial, breast, or colorectal cancer are at increased risk.

The following mainly introduces what are the methods for women to prevent ovarian tumors?

1. Vigorously carry out publicity and advocate a diet high in protein, vitamins A, C, and E, and avoid a diet high in cholesterol. Oral contraceptives are recommended for high-risk women.

2. Women over 30 years old should have a gynecological examination once a year. High-risk groups should be screened from an early age, and B-ultrasound tests and routine fetal alpha globulin tests can be done.

3. Early detection and early treatment. Ovarian cystic tumors with a diameter greater than 6 cm should be surgically removed and sent for routine pathological examination. This is because benign tumors may become malignant if they continue to grow. Regardless of the size of solid ovarian tumors, surgery should be performed as soon as possible, and frozen section examinations should be performed during the operation to determine the scope of the operation. Patients with unclear diagnosis of pelvic tumors or ineffective conservative treatment should undergo laparoscopy or exploratory laparotomy as soon as possible. All patients with breast cancer and gastrointestinal cancer should undergo routine gynecological examinations and regular follow-up after surgery to detect metastatic cancer early.

4. Selenium plays such an important role as an auxiliary means in tumor treatment. Selenium is one of the main components of glutathione peroxidase. It can prevent the formation of peroxides and free radicals in the body, and can oxidize lipid peroxides or hydrogen peroxide, thereby protecting cells in the body and inhibiting the occurrence of cancer.

Warm reminder: The above content is an explanation of the prevention methods of ovarian malignant tumors. In life, we must not underestimate the impact of ovarian malignant tumors on our health. Some patients died from the torture of the disease because they did not pay attention to the treatment of ovarian malignant tumors!
