Hi, All!

Below are some information about Ovarian Cancer. Share it with your friends and family. They may need the help.

What is the benign ovarian cancer?

Ovarian cancer is cancer that begins in the ovaries. Ovaries are reproductive glands found only in females (women). The ovaries produce eggs (ova) for reproduction. The eggs travel through the fallopian tubes into the uterus where the fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus. The ovaries are also the main source of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. One ovary is located on each side of the uterus in the pelvis.

Symptoms and Signs of Benign Ovarian Cancer

The list of symptoms will look familiar to most women. What you need to know about benign ovarian cancer is that the symptoms are:

• Frequent – they happen more than 12 times a month
• Persistent – they don’t go away
• New – they are not normal for you and may have started in the last year

Research has shown that the key symptoms to be aware of are:

• Persistent pelvic or abdominal pain (that’s your tummy and below)
• Increased abdominal size/persistent bloating – not bloating that comes and goes
• Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
• Urinary symptoms (needing to wee more urgently or often than usual)

Occasionally there can be other symptoms such as:

• Changes in bowel habit
• Extreme fatigue (feeling very tired)
• Unexplained weight loss

If you regularly experience any of these symptoms, which are not normal for you, it is important that you see your doctor. It is unlikely that your symptoms are caused by a serious problem, but it is important to be checked out.

Risk factor and cause of Benign Ovarian Cancer

It is impossible to predict who will or won’t develop benign ovarian cancer, but the most important risk factors for benign ovarian cancer are age and a strong family history.

Age

Most cases of benign ovarian cancer occur in women who have already gone through the menopause, sometimes known as the ‘change of life’. This means women over the age of 50 have a higher risk of developing benign ovarian cancer than women under the age of 50. Although it is not common for young women to develop benign ovarian cancer, it does happen, so all women should be aware of the symptoms of benign ovarian cancer, especially if they have a family history of the disease.

In the UK, women have a 2% chance of developing benign ovarian cancer during their lifetime. Put another way one in every 50 women will develop the disease at some time during their life. They are most likely to develop the disease over the age of 50, and often considerably later in their life.

Family history

Most cases of benign ovarian cancer (9 out of every 10) will be ‘sporadic’. This means they are one offs, and close female relatives face no significant increase in their risk of developing the disease themselves. This is important to remember, as it is naturally worrying if a close family member develops such a disease. However in most cases women can be reassured.

Where there are two or more cases of benign ovarian, or malignant ovarian and breast cancer on the same side of a woman’s family (her mother’s or her father’s side) amongst close relatives it is worth speaking to your GP as it can indicate the possibility of an inherited faulty gene. It is a complex area that is yet to be fully understood.

Women who inherit a faulty copy of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene (BReast CAncer 1 and 2) have a much higher risk of developing breast and/or benign ovarian cancer than the general population. The gene can be responsible for clusters of small bowel, ovarian, endometrial, stomach, liver, kidney,bladder or brain cancers.
