How to be sure about ovarian cancer?
Patient: I need to find an obgyn in warner robins who is very good and a doctor who cares. I am hurting where my ovaries are. I have had a partial hysterectomy in 01 and my ovaries are still there. I am 50 years old and I am worriee that I may have ovarian cancer. Is there someone you can recommend? Doctor: Only just pain in ovarian region cannot be sure of cancer. It should be combination of symptom of pain, anorexia, early satiety, constipation- very non specific symptoms, and no single symptom is suggestive of cancer. get CA-125 levels, get USG abdomen, and if anything suspicious is there, doctor can further advise regarding on that.
