Ovarian Cancer & its Safe Ayurvedic Treatment

Ovarian Cancer refers to the cancerous growth, which starts in the ovaries — the organ of the female reproductive system that stores eggs (ova) and produces the estrogen and progesterone hormones.

The female reproductive system consists of two ovaries; one on either side of the uterus. In women affected by Ovarian Cancer, the cells found within or near the ovaries or on their outer layer start growing and multiplying in an abnormal and uncontrolled manner. These cells include the ‘germ cells’ which are the cells that later become eggs; the ‘stromal cells’ that form a large part of the ovary; or the ‘epithelial cells’ that form the outer layer of the ovary.

Cancerous cells (malignant cells) can sometimes travel to other parts of the body, and start growing and replacing normal tissue in those parts. Generally, Ovarian Cancer remains undetected until the cancerous cells spread inside the pelvis and abdomen.

Ovarian Cancer mostly affects women in the 50-60 age group. Some of the factors which can potentially put a woman at the risk of Ovarian Cancer include hereditary/genetic factors, reproductive history, obesity, Gynecologic Surgery, and estrogen hormone replacement therapy.

Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer

The signs and symptoms associated with Ovarian Cancer are:

• Abdominal bloating

Diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer

For initial diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer, the medical history of the patient is examined and a physical exam — including a pelvic and rectal exam — is conducted. In addition, blood tests are also used for diagnosing cancer.

More specifically, some of the tests for Ovarian Cancer diagnosis include:

• A complete blood count
• Test to determine cancer antigen 125 levels
• Test to check HCG levels
• Test for checking lactate dehydrogenase levels
• Test for checking estrogen and testosterone levels
• Liver function tests
• Kidney function tests
• Diagnostic studies, like Biopsy and Imaging tests (including CT scan, MRI and PET scan)
• Tests to check for Metastasis (flareup malignant cells to the other parts of the body).
