Ovarian Cancer Treatment

In Delhi

Ovarian cancer is a condition where abnormal cells develop in your ovaries, which are a part of the female reproductive system. The ovaries are responsible for producing eggs and important hormones. The cancer often develops quietly, and in many cases, symptoms are not noticeable. As a result, you might not be detected early. But being aware of symptoms and going for regular checkups can help you. With timely diagnosis and early treatment, ovarian cancer can be managed effectively, and you can maintain a good quality of life.

Symptoms
Ovarian cancer symptoms are often subtle in the beginning, which is the only reason why they are easy to ignore. You might experience bloating or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen even after eating small meals. There might be discomfort or pain in your lower abdomen and pelvis. Changes in appetite, frequent urination, and feeling full quickly are also common signs. You might notice fatigue, back pain, or unexplained weight loss. As the symptoms can feel like normal digestive issues, it is important for you to pay attention if they do not go away.

Causes
Ovarian cancer develops when there are changes in the DNA of ovarian cells, causing them to grow uncontrollably. The exact cause is unknown, but certain risk factors can increase the risk. This includes age, family history of breast cancer, and genetic conditions. Hormonal factors also play a role. In some cases, lifestyle factors such as obesity or a lack of physical activity might increase the risk. But at times, ovarian cancer can also occur without any reason.

Diagnosis
Doctors begin by understanding your symptoms and medical history. A pelvic examination is done to check for abnormalities. Imaging tests, like an ultrasound, can help detect growth in your ovary. Blood tests might also be used. Further testing or surgery might be required in some cases to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment
Treatment plans include surgery to remove tumors, often followed by chemotherapy. The exact treatment plan depends on the stage and your overall health.
