Ovarian
cancer: the growth has engulfed the entire ovary.
The
ovaries (normally two) are the egg-producing organs in a female. They
can be compared to the testes in the male reproductive system. The
ovary is also responsible for producing hormones such as oestrogen
and progesterone both of which are responsible for pubertal changes,
ovulation, menstruation and maturation. An ovary is the size of an
almond (see pix).
Almonds:
ovaries are about the same size as almonds.
However,
as important as the ovaries are, cancers can develop in them and that
is usually very devastating. , Ella Grasso (first female elected
governor in the USA) is another victim of the malignancy. So as a
woman, what are the signs that you must watch out for? Prior to this
time, ovarian cancer was very difficult to detect and only came to
light when the woman is almost dead but thanks to giant strides in
research, we now know the danger signs.
These
include:
-Pain
in the abdomen or discomfort
-Feeling
of a growth or mass in the abdomen
-Bloating
-Disturbing
weight loss
-Constipation
-Indigestion
-Lack
of appetite
-Back
pain
-Difficulty
in eating
-Feeling
full even after small quantities of food
-General
body weakness or tiredness
-Pain
in the pelvic region (around your hips)
-Abnormal
bleeding through the private part (between periods)
-Painful
intercourse
-Frequent
urination (or a sudden urge to urinate)
-Nausea
and vomitting
Discuss
any unusual feeling with your doctor. Do not ignore it.
Please
note that breastfeeding a child protects women from some forms of
ovarian cancer while childbirth is also very beneficial as it has
been observed that women who are mothers have a lower risk of coming
down with cancer of the ovaries. However, older women (above 55
especially) are at a higher risk.
This
type of cancer is the second most common gynaecologic (female)
cancers and yet, it causes much more deaths than any other type of
malignancy in women. It killed almost 14,000 women in America alone
in 2010 so we cannot sweep it under the carpet.
Its
exact cause remains unknown and it still remains the deadliest cancer
in women. Be vigilant.
The
uterine tubes are also called the oviducts, the Fallopian tubes or
the salpinges. The infundibulum is the third part of the uterine tube
and its function is to find the egg once it has been released by the
ovary, you can see how close they are. :)
ALWAYS CHECK YOURSELF AND NOTE THE CHANGES. ENJOY YOUR DAY!
