Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a routine screening test for ovarian cancer?
Currently, there is no single routine screening test recommended for low-risk, asymptomatic women. However, for women with symptoms or high genetic risk, specialists utilise Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVUS) and CA-125 blood tests to detect and evaluate potential ovarian abnormalities.
How do I prepare for a Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVUS) appointment at KPJ?
A transvaginal ultrasound is a safe, routine imaging procedure. In most cases, you will be asked to empty your bladder right before the scan. Wearing comfortable two-piece clothing is recommended for convenience.
What factors reduce the risk of ovarian cancer?
Studies suggest that long-term use of oral contraceptives, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can lower risk. Women with a strong family history may also discuss preventive surgical options (such as ovary and fallopian tube removal) with a consultant gynaecologic oncologist.
Can I book an ovarian screening package at any KPJ hospital location?
Yes, gynaecological consultations and diagnostic services are available across KPJ Specialist Hospitals nationwide. You can connect with our care team via the KPJ Cares App or contact our WhatsApp concierge to confirm service availability at your nearest branch.
