Five unusual warning signs of ovarian cancer have been revealed!

According to experts, these symptoms may be early indicators of ovarian cancer, a disease that usually shows no clear signs in its initial stages. When symptoms do appear, they are often attributed to common issues such as bacterial imbalance, thyroid disorders, or diet, allowing the tumor to grow undetected.

The doctor identifies several symptoms that require attention:

Dr. Chichigin emphasizes that ovarian cancer can hide for a long time under the guise of common illnesses like premenstrual syndrome, eating disorders, and stomach infections. Therefore, if these symptoms recur and become part of a woman’s life, a specialist should be consulted immediately to determine the cause.

To diagnose ovarian cancer, transvaginal ultrasound is used alongside a blood test to measure the tumor marker CA 125. In cases of reproductive system inflammation or cysts, the marker may remain below 35 IU/ml, while it can reach 100 IU or more in cancer cases, necessitating further tests.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and computed tomography (CT) scans are also used to confirm the diagnosis, determine the nature of the tumor (benign or malignant), and assess the stage of cancer development.
