BODY SIGNAL ALERT VAGINAL DISCHARGE WITH BLOATING AND GENERAL MALAISE: TREATMENT
If your doctor suspects you have ovarian cancer, he will use a sonogram, a CAT scan of the pelvis, and a physical examination to make a positive diagnosis. There is also a blood test that can detect the presence of ovarian cancer and also track its progression. However, this test isn’t a standard part of a regular gynecological exam because it is very expensive. In addition, the test is not 100% accurate: in other words, a negative result does not mean you are free from cancer, and a positive doesn’t necessarily mean you have cancer.
If you do have ovarian cancer, you will need surgery to remove the cancer and help determine whether the cancer is in an early or advanced stage. In addition to your ovaries, your fallopian tubes, uterus, and lymph glands will also probably be removed to make sure that the cancer has not spread. After surgery, you will likely be treated with radiation or chemotherapy to keep the cancer in check.
