Ovarian Tumors
Ovarian tumors are abnormal growths that occur in the ovaries, which are the reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs and hormones. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Symptoms may 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 ultrasounds or CT scans, and a biopsy may be performed to determine the nature of the tumor. Treatment options vary based on the type and stage of the tumor and may include surgery, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes.
