About Alivelamma's Treatment and Recovery

She was placed under the expert care of Dr Sowdepalli Avinash, Consultant Surgical Oncologist, who carefully explained the condition and the need for prompt surgical intervention. With a clear plan and compassionate guidance, Alivelamma began her treatment journey with confidence and hope.

What is an Ovarian Tumor in the Uterus?
An ovarian tumor in the uterus generally refers to an ovarian mass that has grown significantly in size or has spread, causing pressure and severe abdominal symptoms. When such tumors display cancerous characteristics, they are classified as ovarian cancer, a serious condition requiring urgent medical attention.
Common symptoms associated with large or cancerous ovarian tumors include:
- Severe or persistent abdominal pain
- Abdominal swelling or bloating
- Difficulty breathing due to pressure on surrounding organs
- Loss of appetite or feeling full quickly
- Changes in bowel or bladder habits
Diagnosis is made using imaging tests such as CT scans or ultrasound. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the tumor, often followed by additional therapies like chemotherapy, depending on the extent of the disease.
