Most ovarian cancer was already in the late stage when it was discovered, and the average five-year survival rate was only more than 40%.
Ovarian cancer symptoms:
Early stage: There are no obvious symptoms, lower abdomen swelling, stuffy pain, pelvic or abdominal pain are often mistaken for gastrointestinal problems.
2. Middle and late stages: abnormal uterine bleeding, nausea, abdominal distension, frequent urine, constipation, weight loss, loss of appetite, and even ascites, difficulty breathing, pain, bleeding, vomiting, etc. Tumors may sometimes compress the large intestine, so if the bowel habits change, it is also a warning.
Who is the high-risk group?
1. Has a family history
2. 40 years old
3. Has never been pregnant or has used artificial reproductive drugs for infertility
How to detect ovarian cancer early?
1. Internal diagnosis: Doctors can touch whether the ovaries are enlarged.
2. Ultrasonic examination: Vaginal ultrasonic is the best tool for screening ovarian cancer. The ultrasonic probe enters from the vagina, which makes it clearer to see if there is a suspected lesions in the ovary.
As for whether CA-125 blood tumor index test is needed?
After studies have shown that the benefits are not very high. It was found that 50% of patients with first-stage ovarian cancer will not experience abnormal increases. Some benign situations such as endometriosis will also cause CA-125 in the blood to rise, so it is not suitable as a tool for early screening, especially for women with menstruation.
Women with high-risk groups can undergo regular internal diagnosis, vaginal ultrasound examinations and blood tests of CA-125 (tumor index) every six months to one year starting from the age of 25.
What you can eat in life:
The occurrence of ovarian cancer is related to hormonal hyperstimulation. Some doctors believe that one of the reasons may be related to frequent eating healthy foods containing high units of female hormones, which are caused by excessive estrogen stimulation. It is recommended not to take a large amount of health foods that are unknown for a long time.
Research from Mustrik University in the Netherlands pointed out that acrylamide produced by fried and roasted foods may double the chance of women suffering from ovarian and endometrial cancer.
acrylamide can be found in fried, roasted and toasted bread, cereal, coffee, meat, and potatoes. Eat a small bag of fried potato chips, half a bag of biscuits or some fried potato fries every day, that is, absorbing 25,000 gram of acrylamide, which is enough to increase the chance of cancer in women.
