Leading the Fight Against Ovarian Cancer with Advanced Medical Excellence
Ovarian cancer represents one of the most challenging gynecological malignancies, affecting thousands of women worldwide. As a silent killer, it often remains undetected until advanced stages, making expert medical intervention absolutely critical.
At Primax Gastro Institute & Superspeciality Hospital, we combine cutting-edge medical technology with compassionate care to deliver world-class ovarian cancer treatment that gives our patients the best possible chance at recovery.
Understanding Ovarian Cancer: What You Need to Know
Ovarian cancer originates in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or peritoneum and affects approximately 1 in 78 women during their lifetime. According to recent medical research, early detection and expert treatment can significantly improve survival rates, with 5-year survival rates reaching up to 93% when caught in stage I.
Primary Risk Factors and Causes
Understanding your risk factors is crucial for early detection and prevention:
- Genetics & Family History – BRCA1 & BRCA2 gene mutations significantly increase risk.
- Age – Most cases occur in women over 50, with the highest risk after menopause.
- Hormonal Factors – Early menstruation, late menopause, or hormone replacement therapy.
- Endometriosis – A condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus.
- Lifestyle Factors – Smoking, obesity, and a diet high in processed foods may contribute to risk.
Recognizing the Warning Signs: Ovarian Cancer Symptoms
Ovarian cancer is often called the “whisper cancer” because symptoms can be subtle and easily mistaken for common digestive issues.
If you experience these symptoms for more than 2-3 weeks, seek immediate medical evaluation:
- Persistent bloating or abdominal swelling.
- Pelvic or abdominal pain.
- Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly.
- Frequent urination or bowel changes (constipation/diarrhea).
- Unexplained weight loss or fatigue.
- Irregular menstrual cycles or postmenopausal bleeding.
If these symptoms persist for more than two weeks, seeking medical evaluation is essential.

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy at Primax Hospital
Laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes the uterus through small incisions using advanced camera-guided technology. This modern approach offers significant advantages over traditional open surgery, including less pain, faster recovery, minimal scarring, and reduced risk of complications.
Causes
A hysterectomy may be recommended for various gynecological conditions, including:
- Uterine Fibroids – Noncancerous growths that cause heavy bleeding and pain.
- Endometriosis – Abnormal tissue growth outside the uterus, leading to pain and infertility.
- Chronic Pelvic Pain – Severe pain due to gynecological disorders.
- Uterine Prolapse – When the uterus descends into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic muscles.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding – Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding unresponsive to medication.
- Gynecologic Cancers – Such as uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancer in certain cases.
Recognizing the Symptoms
Patients experiencing the following symptoms may benefit from surgical evaluation:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) lasting more than 7 days
- Severe pelvic pain and cramping that interferes with daily activities
- Painful sexual intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Frequent urination or constant bladder pressure
- Difficulty with bowel movements due to pelvic pressure
- Feeling of heaviness or bulging in the pelvic area or vagina
- Fatigue and weakness from chronic blood loss and anemia
Diagnosis at Primax Hospital
At Primax Gastro Institute & Superspeciality Hospital, we conduct a thorough diagnostic evaluation before recommending surgery:
- Pelvic Ultrasound & MRI – To assess fibroids, endometriosis, and uterine abnormalities.
- Pap Smear & Biopsy – For cervical and endometrial cancer screening.
- Blood Tests – To check for anemia and hormonal imbalances.
- Hysteroscopy – A small camera inserted into the uterus for direct visualization.
Types of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
There are different types of laparoscopic hysterectomies, depending on the extent of the procedure:
- Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) – Complete removal of the uterus and cervix.
- Laparoscopic-Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH) – Uterus removal using both laparoscopic and vaginal techniques.
- Subtotal (Supracervical) Hysterectomy – Removal of the upper part of the uterus while keeping the cervix intact.
- Radical Hysterectomy – Performed for cancer cases, involving removal of the uterus, cervix, surrounding tissue, and lymph nodes.
Procedure & Recovery
Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Procedure
- Small incisions are made in the abdomen.
- A tiny camera (laparoscope) is inserted to guide the surgery.
- Surgical instruments remove the uterus while preserving surrounding structures.
- The uterus is removed in sections through small incisions or vaginally.

Expert Care for Uterine Cancer with Proven Results
Endometrial cancer, also known as uterine cancer, originates in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) and represents one of the most common cancers of the female reproductive system.
At Primax Gastro Institute & Superspeciality Hospital, we provide comprehensive, personalized endometrial cancer treatment using cutting-edge medical technology and evidence-based protocols.
Early detection and expert treatment are crucial for achieving favorable outcomes, with our patients experiencing significantly higher survival rates compared to national averages.
Causes
While the exact cause is not always clear, certain factors can increase the risk of developing endometrial cancer:
- Hormonal Imbalance – High levels of estrogen without progesterone (e.g., during hormone replacement therapy or conditions like obesity) can lead to abnormal growth of the endometrial lining.
- Age – Most cases are diagnosed in women over 50, particularly after menopause.
- Obesity – Excess body fat leads to higher estrogen levels, which increases cancer risk.
- Family History & Genetics – Inherited gene mutations (e.g., Lynch syndrome) can raise the risk.
- Diabetes & Hypertension – These conditions, often seen alongside obesity, can also increase risk.
Symptoms
Symptoms can be vague, but common signs include:
- Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding – Postmenopausal bleeding or unusual bleeding between periods.
- Pelvic Pain or Pressure – Pain in the pelvic area or lower abdomen.
- Unexplained Weight Loss – Significant, unexplained weight loss.
- Painful Urination or Intercourse – A sensation of discomfort during urination or sex.
- Fatigue & General Weakness – Often seen with advanced disease.
If left untreated, endometrial cancer can spread to other parts of the body, leading to:
- Spread to Lymph Nodes – Cancer may metastasize to nearby lymph nodes.
- Invasion of Other Organs – It can affect the bladder, bowel, or other organs.
- Risk of Uterine Rupture – In advanced cases, the cancer may cause rupture or hemorrhage.
Diagnosis
At Primax Hospital, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to confirm endometrial cancer:
- Transvaginal Ultrasound – To examine the thickness of the endometrial lining.
- Endometrial Biopsy – The most effective method for confirming cancer; tissue samples are examined for cancerous cells.
- Hysteroscopy – A procedure that allows direct visualization of the uterine lining.
- CT/MRI Scans – To check for spread of the cancer to other organs or lymph nodes.
Treatment
- Surgical Treatment for Endometrial Cancer
Surgery is the primary treatment for endometrial cancer:
- Total Hysterectomy – Removal of the uterus, cervix, and surrounding tissue.
- Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy – Removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes.
- Lymph Node Dissection – Removal of lymph nodes if cancer has spread.
Radiation Therapy
- External Beam Radiation – Targets the pelvic area to kill cancer cells.
- Brachytherapy – Internal radiation delivered directly to the uterus for localized treatment.
Chemotherapy
- For advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, chemotherapy may be used to shrink the tumor and manage symptoms.
Hormonal Therapy
- Progestin Therapy – Hormonal treatment that may slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells, especially in cases of low-grade cancer.
Targeted Therapy & Immunotherapy
- Newer therapies focus on specific molecular targets and stimulating the immune system to fight cancer.
