The gynecologist of Chau Ly of Hangzhou People's Hospital (China) warns that signs of ovarian cancer are easily confused with petty diseases.For example, dysmenorrhea, digestive disorders, osteoarthritis pain (lumbar and pelvic area), urination disorders ...

She shared, within 1 week, she received 2 cases of female students at the same age, went to the doctor because of the abdominal abdomen and abdominal pain.Finally, both of them discovered that there was a problem in the ovaries: one had an ovarian cyst and the other had stage 2 ovarian cancer.

The unfortunate female student with ovarian cancer called Tieu Van.Upon receiving the diagnostic result, Tieu Van's parents collapsed on the spot.They burst into tears in regret for ignoring abnormalities - which is a sign of ovarian cancer in girls for a long time.

The first time Tieu Van seriously told her parents that she had persistent abdominal pain was about 1 year ago.Tieu Van's mother said that her daughter at puberty, had dysmenorrhea.Tieu Van's father thought she ate arbitrary, or drink milk tea and snacks so digestive disorders.Tieu Van wanted to go to the hospital to see but his parents were too busy at work, made an appointment with her.Since then, Tieu Van has never repeated this, whenever abdominal pain is buying medicine.

Until the last 2 months, Tieu Van's belly became increasingly bigger and bigger.Her menstruation was uneven and every time the menstrual period was extremely painful.She said her worries to her mother while she was cooking but once again Tieu Van's mother reassured her daughter that it was because she ate a lot of sweets, so she gained weight, abdominal fat.At puberty, menstruation is not stable and dysmenorrhea is also understandable.However, she will also take Tieu Van to see a clinic on the weekend.

However, that day did not come, Tieu Van had severe abdominal pain when practicing military at school, having to take a break in the middle.Tieu Van's parents bought medicine for her children to drink but 4 days did not help, finally decided to take a leave to take her to the gastrointestinal examination hospital.

According to Dr. Chau Ly:“After the examination, the gastrointestinal doctors suspected that the patient had an ovarian problem, so it was required to examine more gynecology.We immediately ultrasound B and other necessary tests, the detection results have a 5cm -large ovarian malignant tumor.

Patients have laparoscopic surgery to remove tumors.Although the surgery took place well, after the surgery was found another problem.Patients with genital cushion tumor in the ovaries.This is a rare case and must continue long -distance chemotherapy. ”

The doctor warns 6 groups of people with ovarian cancer

In addition to regret, Tieu Van's parents were also surprised because her young children had ovarian cancer.But Dr. Chau Ly said:“Many people think that ovarian cysts or ovarian cancer only occur in married women.In fact, the third most common ovarian cancer in women's cancers, after breast cancer and uterine cancer.

It is true that the age group is over 50, women have a higher risk of children, but every age can get sick, cases of adolescence are not uncommon.Ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer are closely related to factors such as genetics, environment, living habits, the body produces abnormal hormones and excessive psychological stress. ”

She also expressed anxiety when ovarian cancer is considered a "silent killer" for women.Because symptoms are often unclear and only appear in the late stage.Globocan global cancer statistics show that about one -third of cases are diagnosed when the disease is too late for surgery.

Therefore, the prevention and early detection is extremely important.Especially with6 groups of sisters whose ovarian cancer is most likely to attackHere:
