卵巢癌的早期症状可包括膨胀，痉挛和腹部肿胀。

由于许多条件，如波动激素或消化刺激，可以导致这些症状，有时它们被忽视或错误地忽略了其他东西。

For this reason, it can sometimes seem like ovarian cancer symptoms appear out of nowhere, as if there were no warning signs.

我们会看看症状待遇，并为您提供信息，以便您可以评估您自己的卵巢癌的风险。

根据 美国癌症学会 。

The risk of having ovarian cancer sometime in your lifetime is 1在78中 。这就是为什么如果你有卵巢，你应该意识到卵巢癌的迹象和症状。

Early signs and symptoms卵巢癌可能包括：

  • 腹部腹胀
  • changes in appetite
  • 快速感到满意
  • 骨盆疼痛不会消失
  • 尿症状

Taken together, these symptoms have been referred to as the 卵巢癌症症状指数 。However, you may not have any specific symptoms at all.

当这些症状在每月超过12次超过1年时发生时， some health organizations 认为这是癌症警告标志。

Having these symptoms once or twice doesn’t indicate that you have ovarian cancer. It’s when there’s a regular pattern of two or more of these symptoms that it’s time to talk with a doctor.

While these symptoms may seem subtle or mild at first, symptoms that gradually get worse can be a sign of ovarian cancer.

Advanced signs and symptoms卵巢癌可以包括：

  • unexpected or unexplained weight loss
  • constipation
  • frequent urination
  • ascites(fluid buildup in your abdomen) with bloating

同样，在早期或晚期卵巢癌中没有任何特异性症状。如果您开始经历卵巢癌的一些早期症状，后来有更高的症状，请与医生预约。

Some people have a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer than others.

风险因素of ovarian cancer include:

  • Age.Age is one of the primary risk factors. Younger people do get ovarian cancer, but it’s less common. Ovarian cancer diagnoses are most common between ages 60 and 64 。
  • Chronic inflammation.生殖系统的慢性炎症条件，如endometriosis和盆腔炎，可能会增加风险。
  • HRT。Past use of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) may increase the risk, but studies have been inconclusive.
  • 肥胖。由于体重和性激素之间的关系，肥胖可能是一个危险因素。
  • Family history.拥有乳腺癌，卵巢癌或其他生殖系统癌症的家族史可以增加卵巢癌的风险。
  • 排污性。Never giving birth (nulliparity）可以增加卵巢癌的风险。

The earlier cancer is detected, the more treatment options are available. This is true for cancer in general and especially ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer is one of the more difficult types of cancer to detect in its early stages, because the symptoms can be subtle or vague.

如果您正在遇到上述任何症状，即使您不在高风险类别中，也很重要。

如果您的话，医生检查尤为重要：

  • 拥有生殖癌的家族史
  • 60岁以上吗
  • 有其他卵巢癌危险因素
  • 注意到症状

A doctor may use the following screening methods to detect ovarian cancer:

常规物理

A regular health physical, including a pelvic exam, allows a doctor to check the size, shape, and consistency of your uterus and ovaries. Any swelling in those areas can be detected.

Your doctor may also ask you questions about your family and health history to assess your risk of ovarian cancer.

这是建议看妇科医生every year, regardless of your age.

Transvaginal ultrasound

Atransvaginal ultrasound允许医生检查生殖器官。

这是一个简单的办公检查方法。它使用高频声波来创建子宫和卵巢的实时图像。超声波可以检测需要除去或检查的质量或肿胀。

CA-125 blood test

A blood test that looks forcancer antigen 125 (CA-125)can be an early way to detect ovarian cancer.

这是一种简单，无创的方式，看看卵巢癌细胞中的抗原是否处于血液中可检测的水平。

在绝经后人物中通常使用Ca-125血液测试。这是因为许多非癌症状况，如月经，妊娠或子宫内膜异位症，可以增加Ca-125水平。

It’s not possible to diagnose ovarian cancer at home, but if you are aware of the signs and symptoms, you will be able to ask a doctor as soon as you spot them.

Be sure to seek medical advice if you experience any of the following:

  • 腹胀
  • changes in appetite
  • feeling full after eating a small amount
  • 正在进行的骨盆疼痛
  • changes in urination

如果您每天有这些症状超过几周，请从医疗专业人士寻求建议。

卵巢癌的早期迹象和症状可能是微妙的，使它们难以检测。它们也可以模仿胃痛或一些症状周刊。

问题并不是，这些症状无处可去，但是人们不一定知道要寻找或何时关注的东西。

That’s why it’s important to know your risk and get an annual examination from a gynecologist. If you start having symptoms that you think could be ovarian cancer, don’t ignore them.

记录您的症状发生的频率，并与医生与任何症状发言，这些症状随着时间的推移而变得更糟。
