Patient's question:
Patients diagnosed with acute or subacute pelvic inflammatory disease must strictly follow medical advice and actively cooperate with treatment. So, what are the symptoms of pelvic cancer in general?Doctor's answer:
What are the common early symptoms of pelvic cancer that you must pay attention to? Regarding your question about the common early symptoms of pelvic cancer, here is the answer. Pelvic tumors are primarily characterized by pelvic masses. Ovarian tumors are the most common, among which malignant ovarian tumors account for 3.7%, which is lower than the reported 10%. In addition to a history of pelvic mass, symptoms may include lower abdominal fullness, significantly elevated CA125 levels, and ultrasound findings of solid or mixed lesions. Endometrioma cysts account for the second highest proportion, with approximately half of the cases having a history of dysmenorrhea, one-third having menstrual disorders,、, and a small portion of cases showing no obvious symptoms, occasionally with lower abdominal heaviness or distension. Ultrasound suggests that most cases appear as anechoic areas, with some being mixed echoes, thick and irregular capsules, more commonly on both sides, and mildly elevated CA125 levels. Chronic pelvic inflammatory masses account for the third highest proportion, at 16.48%, mostly due to chronic pelvic inflammation. The main reasons are that symptoms during the acute phase are not severe, leading to neglect and lack of treatment, or incomplete resolution during the acute phase, resulting in prolonged inflammation.
