Gynecological cancer refers to cancers that start in a woman’s reproductive organs, including the cervix, ovaries, uterus, vagina, and vulva. Each type has different symptoms, risk factors, and treatment options.
Symptoms vary depending on the type of cancer but may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, bloating, frequent urination, pain during intercourse, and unexplained weight loss.
Diagnosis typically involves a combination of pelvic exams, imaging tests (such as ultrasound or MRI), Pap smears, biopsies, and blood tests like the CA-125. These tests help determine the presence, type, and stage of cancer.
Treatment options depend on the type and stage of cancer and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these. The treatment plan is personalized based on individual patient needs.
If diagnosed, it’s important to work closely with a specialized gynecologic oncologist to discuss treatment options and develop a personalized care plan. Support from family, friends, and cancer support groups can also be invaluable.
Side effects vary depending on the treatment type and may include fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and changes in menstrual cycles or menopause-like symptoms. Your healthcare team will provide guidance on managing side effects.
