- Loss of appetite
- Frequent urge to pee
- Severe pain in the pelvic area
- Lump or swelling in the pelvic area
- Digestion issues such as Gas, Constipation and bloating
Causes of Ovarian Cancer
- The majority of ovarian cancers are induced by genetic changes in DNA. In some cases, these genes are inherited, also known as Hereditary Ovarian Cancer.
- A person having any family history of ovarian cancer or any other reproductive organ cancer is likely to develop ovarian cancer.
- In some cases, not having a child or conceiving after the age of 35, also increases the risk
- Hormonal replacement therapy or fertility treatments also put you at risk of getting ovarian cancer.
Treatment Options for Ovarian Cancer
Surgery: Surgeries are the most preferred treatment option for Ovarian Cancer. In this option, the affected tissues or the ovarian tumor is removed through an invasive procedure. In the early stage, only the affected ovary or tissues are removed but in the advanced stage both the ovaries along with uterus are removed to spread the cancer further.
Chemotherapy: In chemotherapy, strong medications (drugs) are inserted into the patient’s body. This can be done through oral medicines or injecting them into the patient’s veins. This procedure can be performed before and after the surgery to shrink the cancer cells or kill any leftover cancer cells post-surgery.
Hormone Therapy: Hormone therapy is performed to target and block estrogen that is affecting the cancer cells. The ovarian cancer cells use estrogen as a catalyst to grow in the ovary, blocking these hormones helps to stop these cells from growing further.
