Ovarian Cancer
Clinical OncologyGeneral Surgery
The ovaries are a part of the female reproductive system, consisting of two small organs in the pelvic cavity on either side of the uterus. Their function is to produce eggs and female hormones. Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynaecological cancers and has the highest mortality rate among female cancers.
Symptoms
Early-stage ovarian cancer may not have symptoms, and in later stages, symptoms become more noticeable. Here are some signs that may be associated with ovarian cancer:
- Abdominal bloating or a feeling of pressure: The presence of a tumour may cause a sensation of fullness in the abdomen.
- Abdominal or pelvic pain: Long-term mild or moderate pain may be present.
- Digestive symptoms: Including indigestion, diarrhoea, or constipation.
- Loss of appetite: Possibly related to the tumour affecting gastrointestinal function.
- Frequent urination: Ovarian tumours may affect the urinary system, leading to increased frequency.
- Menstrual changes: Irregular menstrual cycles or other menstrual variations.
- Weight loss: Unexplained weight loss may be one of the symptoms.
- Fatigue: Prolonged feelings of fatigue may be part of the body's response.
