Ovarian cancer is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease that affects the ovaries, the female reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs and hormones. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial for improving outcomes and survival rates. At Aashakiran IVF, under the guidance of Dr. Asmita Mahla, we provide comprehensive evaluation, personalized treatment, and compassionate care for individuals affected by ovarian cancer.
Understanding Ovarian Cancer: Ovarian cancer can develop in different parts of the ovaries and may include various types, such as epithelial tumors, germ cell tumors, and stromal tumors. While the exact cause of ovarian cancer is unknown, several factors may increase the risk, including genetic mutations (such as BRCA1 and BRCA2), family history, age, reproductive history, hormonal factors, and environmental exposures.
Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer: Ovarian cancer often presents with nonspecific symptoms, which can make diagnosis challenging. Common signs and symptoms may include:
- Abdominal bloating or swelling
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
- Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation or diarrhoea
- Increased urinary urgency or frequency
- Fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
- Menstrual irregularities
Diagnosis and Treatment: Diagnosis of ovarian cancer typically involves a combination of imaging tests (such as ultrasound or CT scans), blood tests (including CA-125 tumor marker), and biopsy to confirm the presence of cancerous cells. Treatment options for ovarian cancer may include surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation therapy, depending on the stage, type, and aggressiveness of the cancer. Personalized treatment plans are tailored to each individual’s specific needs and may involve multidisciplinary care involving oncologists, surgeons, and other specialists.
