Pain in the ovary area

Everyone knows the importance of ovaries to women. Sometimes, women may feel a tingling sensation in their ovaries, which is very likely a symptom of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is the third most common disease among women. The symptoms of ovarian cancer are not obvious in the early stages, but in the middle stages, abdominal pain, nausea and other symptoms will appear. At this time, you need to go to the hospital in time.

Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in ovarian tissue. Its incidence rate is relatively lower than that of cervical cancer, but its risk factor is the highest compared to other gynecological cancers. Because the ovaries are located deep in the pelvic cavity, they are often asymptomatic when they are small in the early stages, but they can be discovered during gynecological examinations. What are the symptoms of ovarian cancer? Clinically, ovarian cancer may present with symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, abdominal masses, menstrual disorders, and compression.

Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer:

Abdominal mass is the most common symptom of ovarian cancer. When the abdominal mass is small in the early stage, it is difficult for the patient to detect it. As the tumor grows, the patient may feel a mass in the abdomen. When the greater omentum metastasizes severely and becomes a pancake-like mass, a large mass with a floating ball feeling can be felt in the upper abdominal cavity. When tumor metastases to the pelvic or abdominal cavity or body position changes, causing the mass to pull on surrounding organs or twist, abdominal pain may occur, and may also be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and fever. Oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea: Most ovarian cancer patients have no menstrual changes. If the normal ovarian tissues are destroyed by cancer cells, the patient's overall condition will be poor, and early symptoms of ovarian cancer such as oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea may occur.

Pain: Malignant ovarian tumors may cause a considerable degree of persistent pain and distension due to changes within the tumor, such as rapid growth of hemorrhage and necrosis, or local tenderness may be found during examination, which are symptoms of late-stage ovarian cancer.

Compression symptoms of ovarian cancer before death. When the tumor infiltrates into the surrounding tissues or compresses the nerves, it can cause abdominal pain, back pain, or sciatica. If it compresses the pelvic veins, lower limb edema may occur. A huge tumor 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 difficulty breathing and inability to lie flat. Due to the rapid growth of the tumor, malnutrition and weight loss occur, forming cachexia.
