Diagnosing an Ovarian Cancer is never easy as its common symptoms are the symptoms of other non-cancerous diseases too. These include fatigue, constipation, abdominal swelling or pain, bloating, frequent urination, etc. The extent of these symptoms may vary but still it cannot be treated as a concrete evidence to determine whether one has Ovarian Cancer or not. So, to stay avoid harm, you must avail the best diagnostic services for a comprehensive checkup.
You can undergo some Imaging tests, like CT scans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, and ultrasound at a diagnostic centre to determine the presence of a pelvic mass or a cyst. However, when an issue with the ovaries is suspected, the commonly conducted Imaging test is Ultrasound. It provides a detailed picture of an ovarian tumour and helps doctors in deciphering whether the tumour is a solid mass or a fluid-filled cyst. Looking at the size and the overall complexity of the tumour helps them in determining the seriousness of the condition and whether it requires further tests or not. The thing is that an Ultrasound can not confirm the nature of the cyst, i.e., whether the cyst is cancerous or benign. The sure shot way to determine that is to take a sample from the cyst and put it under a microscope. This process is termed as Biopsy. So, if you want to uproot all your suspicions and concerns once and for all, you must go for a biopsy without any worries. So, don’t wait for the right time and visit a diagnostic centre, even if the symptoms appear to be minor.
