I'm concerned about a family member with ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer is often called the "silent killer" because it has no early symptoms. If you have a family history, you must undergo a transvaginal ultrasound and a CA-125 blood test every six months.

난소암은 복강 내 공간이 넓어 암이 상당히 커질 때까지 증상을 느끼지 못하는 경우가 많습니다.

  • 위험군: 가족력, BRCA 유전자 변이, 미혼 또는 미출산 여성
  • 의심 증상: 이유 없는 복부 팽만감, 소화 불량, 복부의 딱딱한 덩어리 촉진
  • 예방: 경구 피임약 복용이 난소암 위험을 낮춘다는 연구가 있으나, 반드시 전문의와 상담하시기 바랍니다.
💡 정기 검진

증상이 나타났을 때는 이미 3기 이상으로 진행된 경우가 많습니다. 정기적인 검진만이 최선의 예방법임을 명심하세요.
