Fighting ovarian cancer!

How much attention do you give to your body? How often do you run a test just to know how your body is fairing? Lol I guess some people are feeling guilty already"but if it's to know the latest skin care ! We will jump up and start looking for remedy on how to remove just one strand of pimples before it even pops out lol! Here's the thing'if you wanna look good,you have to start from inside your body! Early detection will go a long way in any given situation !..(ovarian cancer).The ovaries are part of the female reproductive system. They produce a woman's eggs and female hormones. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond.

Cancer of the ovary is not common, but it causes more deaths than other female reproductive cancers. The sooner ovarian cancer is found and treated, the better your chance for recovery. But ovarian cancer is hard to detect early. Women with ovarian cancer may have no symptoms or just mild symptoms until the disease is in an advanced stage. Then it is hard to treat. Symptoms may include

  • A heavy feeling in the pelvis
  • Pain in the lower abdomen
  • Bleeding from the vagina
  • Weight gain or loss
  • Abnormal periods
  • Unexplained back pain that gets worse
  • Gas, nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite

To diagnose ovarian cancer, doctors do one or more tests. They include a physical exam, a pelvic exam, lab tests, ultrasound, or a biopsy. Treatment is usually surgery followed by chemotherapy. 


p.s. All women are at risk and there's no proven cause for ovarian cancer ..
