What are the Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer?
Gynecologist Oncologist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sema Karakaş:
Unfortunately ovarian cancerIt is asymptomatic in the early period and there are no specific signs of the disease. It occurs with non-specific findings. When it shows symptoms, unfortunately, we catch the disease at an advanced stage. We usually catch it at stage three or four. Only twenty percent of ovarian cancer is diagnosed at an early stage.
When ovarian cancers sometimes reach very large sizes or create a mass effect or when the tumor secretes hormones, it can come with early findings such as hair growth, anomalies due to the increase in female hormones, bleeding, or it can reach very large sizes and cause problems such as bloating, difficulty in breathing, or it can cause problems such as difficulty in urinating or difficulty in urinating due to mass compression.
I have already mentioned that the chance of early diagnosis is quite low. In order not to lose this chance, we say that women should not neglect their annual gynecological examinations, especially in the postmenopausal period.
In certain cases of familial predispositionto be more sensitive in cases of family history and genetic inheritance from the mother, such as breast, ovarian and bowel cancer. we are trying to recognize it early under closer control.
