Women's sudden weight loss may be a "good thing" caused by ovarian disease

Ovarian disease is one of the common diseases among women. I believe many women know how harmful it is to women. Therefore, in daily life, we should pay attention to strengthening the care of the ovaries, develop a good habit of regular physical examinations, and seek timely treatment if ovarian disease is found, so as not to leave any hidden dangers to health.

Symptom 1: Oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea

Symptoms of menopause often include oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea. This is exactly the case, and this is also the case with the early symptoms of ovarian cancer.

Symptom 2: Abdominal distension and poor appetite

Abdominal bloating and poor appetite are signs of many diseases. On the contrary, in the early stages of ovarian tumors, there is no obvious feeling of discomfort, just a slight feeling of abdominal distension and poor digestion. If, at this time, there are symptoms such as frequent urination and difficulty urinating, you must carefully find out the truth and cannot simply understand it as a bad stomach.

Symptom 3: Unexplained weight loss

As ovarian cancer grows gradually and ascites forms, it can mechanically compress the gastrointestinal tract, causing the patient to eat less and suffer from indigestion. In addition, cancer cells consume a large amount of nutrients from the human body, causing the patient to become increasingly thin, anemic, weak, and have a dull complexion.

Symptom 4: Sex hormone disorder

The pathological types of ovarian cancer are complex and varied. When some tumors secrete too much estrogen, it can cause precocious puberty, menstrual disorders or postmenopausal vaginal bleeding; if it is testicular blastocyst cancer, it will produce too much androgen and show signs of masculinization.

Symptom 5: Abdominal mass

Most patients accidentally feel a mass in their lower abdomen when they wake up in the morning with a full bladder. If the mass grows rapidly, you should be highly alert. Therefore, it is necessary to perform regular gynecological B-ultrasound examinations. When the tumor is small, it must rely on B-ultrasound examinations to be discovered. If an ovarian tumor of about 5 cm is found, regular follow-up and close observation are required.
