Ovarium cancer is largely shaped cystic tumors ( Ovarium cysts ) and a small portion in the form of solid tumors. most women with ovarian cancer does not cause symptoms in a long time. when the symptoms are generally highly variable and non-specific in the early stages can be menstrual disorders. if the tumor is pressing the rectum or bladder may occur constipation or frequent urination. can also occur pelvic region stretching or pressure that causes spontaneous pain or pain during intercourse.
in later stages the symptoms that occur related to the presence of ascites ( accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity ) spread to the omentum ( belly fat ), and the organs in the abdominal cavity such other intestines and liver as belly bulge, bloating, nausea, appetite disturbance, impaired bowel and urination. fluid buildup can also occur in the chest cavity due to the spread of the disease into the chest cavity resulting in a very patient feel shortness of breath.
since most of the ovarian cancer stems from a cyst, then if the woman is found to have an ovarian cyst transactions are carried out further tests to determine whether the cyst is benign or malignant ( Ovarium cancer ) awareness of a malignant cyst performed on the circumstances :
a. rapidly enlarging cysts
b. cysts in adolescence or after menopause
c. cysts with thick walls and not sequentially
d. cyst with solid parts
e. tumors of the ovary
when the cyst was found properties as mentioned above, further tests must be done to strengthen the suspicion toward such actions ovarium cancer with ultrasound doppler to determine blood flow and may even be required to support the diagnosis is the examination of tumor markers such as ca - 125 and ca 72-4, beta - hcg and alfafetoprotein. all of the above checks have not been able to confirm the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, but only as a handle to perform surgery. the surgical procedure in patients suspected ovarium cancer is very different from the regular ovarium cyst.
the most important thing in surgery patients whose ovarium cancer is suspected as possible trying to get the cyst out in full, and then carried to the laboratory examination of anatomic pathology ( examination of frozen cut ). if the result of the examination of frozen beef is not a cancer, then surgery is completed. sealiknya when the results of frozen cut ovarium cancer is surgery followed by lifting the uterus, ovaries the other hand, appendix, omentum, perform a biopsy on a suspected cancer spreading in the abdominal cavity and perform retrieval of lymph nodes in the pelvis. this complex action called staging lapstotomy aimed to determine the stage of the disease so that a treatment plan can be determined later after surgery.
in patients who do not have children or they want to have children can still be considered to not lift the uterus and the other ovary. there should also note that the accuracy of the results of the frozen pieces only ranged between 90-95%, so the diagnosis of Ovarium cancer was discovered after the definitive examination of anatomic pathology. this led in some patients with frozen cut results expressed not ovarium cancer, staging laparotomy surgery had to be done.
most of the ovarian cysts cause no symptoms, or only a little pain is not dangerous. but unisex cysts that develop into large and cause sharp pain. ascertainment of the disease can not be seen from the symptoms alone because the symptoms may be similar to other conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammation, ectopic pregnancy ( outside the womb ) or ovarium cancer.
