When women have abnormal menstruation, lumbar and abdominal pain, digestive symptoms and edema, they should be alert to the possibility of ovarian cancer.
1. Abnormal menstruation: For women who are not menopausal, cancer in ovary can affect the secretion function of ovary, resulting in the normal metabolism of uterine endometrium, which can lead to scanty menstruation or amenorrhea. For menopausal women, if abnormal bleeding occurs, they should be alert to the possibility of ovarian cancer.
2. Lumbar and abdominal pain: due to the stimulation of cancer, it can lead to pain in the lumbar and abdominal area of women, and if the cancer spreads, the pain will be obviously aggravated.
3. Digestive tract symptoms: cancer can invade the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in abdominal distension, loss of appetite and other symptoms.
4. Edema: with the enlargement of cancer, fluid accumulation may be formed in the pelvis, and edema may also appear due to poor blood circulation.
When the above symptoms or other discomforts exist, one should consult a doctor in time to make a clear diagnosis.
