What are the dangers of ovarian tumors

Ovarian tumor is a common malignant tumor in women. There are many causes of ovarian tumor, such as environmental factors, endocrine factors and family inheritance. Ovarian tumor is very harmful. Once it becomes malignant, it can cause you to lose your life. Of course, as long as ovarian tumor is discovered and treated early, there is still a chance of cure. Next, let us take a detailed look at the dangers of suffering from ovarian tumor.

Generally speaking, the risks of ovarian tumors include:

First, it affects people's lives: Ovarian tumors can cause abdominal pain, back pain or sciatica in the early stages. If they compress the pelvic veins, lower limb edema may occur. Huge tumors can compress the bladder, causing frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and urine retention. Compression of the rectum can cause difficulty in defecation. Compression of the gastrointestinal tract can cause digestive tract symptoms. Compression of the diaphragm can cause breathing difficulties, inability to lie flat, and other symptoms, which seriously affect women's lives.

Secondly, tumor malignancy: The early symptoms of ovarian tumors are not obvious. If the tumor is not discovered in time and gradually grows, it is very likely to become malignant. Therefore, experts from Maria Maternity Hospital said: Regular gynecological examinations once a year are very necessary for adult women.

Finally, life-threatening: Ovarian tumors grow in hidden areas and are not easy to detect in the early stages. When they are discovered, they are usually in the late stages, which seriously endangers the patient's life. According to statistics, deaths caused by ovarian tumors account for the largest number of all gynecological tumors, posing a serious threat to women's life and health.

Warm reminder: Ovarian tumor is a common disease among women. It is easier to treat in the early stage, so female friends should pay attention to actively go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Do not wait until the ovarian tumor becomes malignant before thinking of examination and treatment, because by then not only will the treatment become more difficult, but it will also bring a certain financial burden to the family.
