Ovarian Cancer is one of the most serious cancers that women face. The problem with this kind of cancer is that it is so difficult to detect at an early stage. It has been known for years that if you have this type of cancer, there is a good chance you might lose the ability to become pregnant. The reason for this is that this cancer attacks the ovaries, which are responsible for egg production in women. If eggs are not produced, a woman can become infertile. It is imperative that you are able to understand the causes of ovarian cancer so that you will know what steps you need to take in order to win the fight against this condition. Ovarian cancer develops when abnormal cells in your reproductive system start to multiply abnormally. This can occur in virtually any part of your reproductive system. When this abnormal cell growth occurs in your ovary, you actually develop ovarian cancer. Benign and malign tumors respond differently in the human body. There are a number of different factors that can be attributed as causes of ovarian cancer, but there are also a number of different risk factors. You are considered to have a higher risk of developing this condition if you have a family history filled with women who had the disease. Additionally, if you have a family history filled with women who developed the disease in their childbearing years, you are also at a higher risk. Women who were smokers during their childbearing years also have a higher risk. The symptoms that are most common forovarian cancers that develop in the ovaries are irregular menstrual periods, painful intercourse, and discomfort in the abdomen. Many people also experience problems while trying to get pregnant or holding off labor until they are older. Some people may experience symptoms such as a lack of energy or being continually tired. These symptoms are typically experienced during the early stages of the disease. However, some people may experience these symptoms at an older age. One important thing to note about ovarian cancer is that it generally only attacks cells in the abdomen. It does not target the ovaries and other reproductive organs like the fallopian tubes or the uterus. Therefore, if the eggs are not released from the ovaries during regular menstrual periods, it does not have the potential to spread to these other areas. There are a number of different types of treatment options available for this type of cancer. However, the survival rate following surgery depends on the type of surgery performed. The better your health prior to having the surgery, the higher your five-year relative survival rates will be. This is because your increased health makes your body more able to fight off the disease. If you have any pre-existing conditions, it will be especially important for you to ensure that they are under control before you undergo any type of surgery. Medications are typically used in conjunction with surgery in order to minimize any additional risk to the pregnancy and to also ensure the best outcome possible. The drugs used in chemotherapy will not only kill off any remaining cancerous cells, but they will also stop the spread of the disease to other parts of the body, so chemotherapy is usually used along with radiation therapy. This treatment will continue until all of the symptoms have been eliminated. After surgery, the treatment for ovarian cancer varies. Many women choose to just allow the cancer to take care of itself. However, some choose to pursue a course of treatment that involves more than simply removing the tumors. This treatment can include chemotherapy and radiation therapy, as well as a procedure called "ovarian drilling." This procedure involves the removal of a tumor through a small incision in the abdomen in order to allow it to be removed by surgery.
