The disease that most often occurs in women during menopause is ovarian cancer. Basically, such a diagnosis is made to women whose age is over 40 years.
There are four stages of cancer.
The first stage indicates the presence of cancer cells in the ovaries.
In the second stage of ovarian cancer, cells grow in the uterus and tubes.
The third stage involves the process of the spread of cancer cells to the lymph nodes.
Ovarian cancer, stage 4 - indicates the penetration of metastases into neighboring tissues.
Sometimes the symptoms do not make themselves felt for a long time, and a woman visits a doctor only when external symptoms begin to manifest (for example: growth of the abdomen). This is due to an increase in the tumor, as well as from the appearance of fluid in the abdominal cavity. Pain can occur when the cancer grows into tubes (due to the fact that the tumor affects the nerve endings). But, even experiencing painful sensations, women do not always consult a doctor, as these symptoms are attributed to the inflammatory process. Therefore, with the manifestation of any signs, it is immediately necessary to seek the help of a gynecologist.
The treatment of ovarian cancer in Israel is carried out in several surgical ways. With timely and proper treatment, the prognosis in most cases is positive.
Basically, ovarian cancer occurs in nulliparous girls and women in the presence of constant stress and a hereditary factor.
When going to the hospital, the gynecologist examines the patient and, if an increase in the ovaries is detected , gives a referral for an ultrasound.
Diagnostics
Timely diagnosis allows you to increase the chance of surgery less dangerous for the body, which significantly reduces the rehabilitation period. Since the signs of ovarian cancer are pronounced, it is possible to identify this disease at an early stage of progression.
The treatment of ovarian cancer in Israel is carried out in two main operational ways: laparoscopic and abdominal. Doctors prefer to perform just laparoscopy, as it is less traumatic for the body. The method of this procedure is that the patient makes several small incisions, the length of which is no more than 2 cm. An operation is performed through these openings, which is controlled using a micro camera. The advantages of laparoscopy are that, in comparison with other methods of surgical intervention, the risk of complications is minimal.
But there are times when the doctor has no choice, and therefore he decides to perform an abdominal operation. The reasons for its implementation are many: indications, the condition of the patient, emergency cases.
The treatment of ovarian cancer in Israel by the abdominal method is carried out in an open way, that is, an abdominal opening is performed .
Both methods are used under general anesthesia. In order to avoid complications during surgical treatment, before the operation, it is necessary to tell the doctor all the information related to health: previous operations, allergies to drugs, or taking medications at this time.
Treatment of ovarian cancer in Israel is selected depending on the age of the patient, the condition and stage of the tumor.
