Around 550 women lose their lives to ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ every year. If we can detect ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ at early stage, this ration can be almost nullified. The typical and obvious causes of ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ include age, genetic predisposition and improper use of oral contraceptives. Ovarian cancer has long been called a “sílєnt kíllєr” because symptoms are thought to develop only after the disease has reached an advanced stage and is largely incurable. But health experts have identified a set of physical complaints that often occur in women who have ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ and may be early warning signs. These symptoms are very common, and most women with them do not have ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ. But for the women who do, the hope is that greater awareness will lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment.

1. If your backaches are frequent and you do not suffer from osteoporosis then it could be one of the signs of ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ.
2. Periods though regularly subject to social stigma throughout the world can be useful indicators to many aspects about health. A recently conducted study proves that ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ is more rampant among women over the age of 55 years. There, however, have also been sparse cases of ovarian cancer in girls who haven’t had their first cycle yet.
3. Pain in stomach or pelvis mustn’t be ignored and immediately reported to a doctor.
4. The modern life have us all working around the clock and as a result we may feel fatigued all the time. However, if you experience nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath or fee; tired all the time- it could be an ᴀʟᴀʀᴍɪɴɢ sɪɢɴ. An estimated 80 percent women actually had one or most of these symptoms when they were diagnosed with ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ.
5. Vomiting: Jeffrey Stern, a famous American gynecologist, says that ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ often causes constipation in women. And vomiting makes it another symptom.
6. Pain during cσpulαtíσn: According to Medical News Today magazine, pain during $ex is a strong indicator of ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ. Apart from this frequent urination along with pain and pressure in the pelvic area are obviously indicative of the same. These maybe early symptoms of the onset of ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ.
7. You may think being full all the time could be a digestive problem, but sometimes, in women, it is much more than that and may indicate ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ of ovaries.
8. Bloated stomach is another dangerous sign and if you notice swelling in stomach, contact your doc immediately.
9. Excessive hair growth and dark hair: This may not be a usual sign but sure is noteworthy. Another thing worth noticing is abrupt and heavy hair loss.
10. The ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ has direct impact on the digestive system and the stomach. This impact is the strongest when the ᴏᴠᴀʀɪᴀɴ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ is in the early stage. According to Medline Plus, “when you feel pain in the stomach area, other symptoms can occur: digestive problems, loss of appetite and gases.”
Dear women, if you notice any symptoms of the disease immediately contact for help. Do not wait. Our health is our primary project. Be well, stay blessed.
