Ovarian cancer starts in the ovaries, a woman’s reproductive organs that produce eggs and hormones. While there’s no single cause, certain risk factors can increase your chances.
Signs to Watch For:
Ovarian cancer symptoms can be subtle and mistaken for other conditions. Be aware of these and discuss them with your doctor:
Pelvic or abdominal pain
Bloating
Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
Frequent urination
Unexplained weight changes
Early Detection is Key
There’s no regular screening test, but early detection improves treatment outcomes. If you experience these symptoms persistently, see your doctor for evaluation.
Treatment Options
Ovarian cancer treatment usually involves surgery to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Depending on the stage and type, chemotherapy or radiation therapy might also be recommended. Your doctor will determine the best course of treatment for you.
