Cancer that begins in the ovaries or the fallopian tubes is called ovarian cancer. The risk of ovarian cancer increases with age. More than 50% of deaths due to ovarian caner occur in women between 55 and 74, and about 25% in women between 35 and 54; Ovarian cancer has been called "silent killer" in medical textbooks because there are no symptoms until a considerably advanced stage of disease. Recent studies show that if there are no symptomsCharacteristic with ovarian cancer, the following warning signs appear a few months before the cancer is detected:
Pelvic, abdominal or back pain
Weight gain or weight loss
Unusual bleeding or discharge (heavy menstrual bleeding or postmenopausal)
Discomfort during sex
Frequent or intense urge to urinate, burning during urination or cramps
Feeling full, even though you do not eat much
Vague gastrointestinal problems,such as gas, indigestion, anorexia, flatulence, nausea and vomiting, bloody stools, prolonged constipation or diarrhea
Unexplained elevations of waist
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
If any of these symptoms over two or three weeks, and if it is even worse with time, you should test for ovarian cancer. Since these symptoms may be another disease or minor suffering associated, it is impossible to diagnose ovarian cancer on theirMerit alone. The doctor is a gynecological examination, perform an abdominal or vaginal ultrasound and a blood test to check the presence of CA 125. None of these tests are consistent. But a positive focus on two or more of the tests should be increased by biopsy (laparotomy) or be followed by a laparoscopy to rule out or diagnose ovarian cancer.
A very small percentage of women who are diagnosed with the symptoms of the dreaded disease. And sometimes, achieving women in the pastStages of cancer with no symptoms. The best thing you can do is get a healthy lifestyle and to undergo an annual inspection in order to catch the cancer before it metastasizes.
