Ovarian Tumor
An ovarian tumor is an abnormal growth that occurs in the ovaries, which are the female reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs and hormones. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may vary in size and type. Symptoms can include abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in menstrual cycles, but some women may not experience any symptoms at all.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans, along with blood tests to check for tumor markers. Treatment options depend on the type and stage of the tumor and may include surgery, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes.
