The Impact of Cancer on the Reproductive System: 6 Key Symptoms and Their Effects

2. Pelvic or Abdominal Pain

Symptoms:

• Continuous pain or pressure in the pelvic or abdominal region.

Effects:

Pelvic or abdominal pain is a significant symptom of reproductive cancers such as ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, and cervical cancer. This persistent pain or pressure often indicates the presence of cancerous tumors affecting the reproductive organs. In ovarian cancer, pain can be caused by tumor growth or fluid buildup. For uterine and cervical cancer, inflammation and tissue invasion by cancer cells lead to discomfort. Recognizing this pain is crucial for early cancer diagnosis and effective treatment.
