February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month and Ovarian Cancer Australia have provided a few facts on the disease and symptoms that, if recognised and followed up with a medical appointment, might just save your life.
What Are The Symptoms Of Ovarian Cancer?
The four most frequently reported symptoms from women diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer are:
- Persistent abdominal pain or pelvic (lower abdominal) pain.
- A noticeable increase in abdominal size or abdominal bloating.
- Needing to rush to the toilet to urinate often or urgently.
- Feeling full quickly or finding it difficult to eat.
- Vague but persistent stomach upsets such as wind, nausea, heart burn or indigestion
- Vaginal bleeding
- Change in bowel habits
- Weight loss or weight gain
- Excessive fatigue
- In 2010, more than 1500 Australia women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
- More than 850 will die from the disease – that’s 1 woman every 11 hours.
- 75% of women are diagnosed in the advanced stages and will not live beyond 5 years.
- Ovarian cancer is the 6th most common cause of death in Australian women.
- Ovarian cancer can affect women of all ages – girls as young as 7 have been diagnosed. But the risk of getting ovarian cancer increases with age. The average age for an ovarian cancer diagnosis is 64.
- There is no detection test – a Pap smear does NOT detect ovarian cancer.
- The majority of Australian women DON’T know the symptoms of ovarian cancer but almost all women with ovarian cancer suffer symptoms.
- To ensure a good chance of survival it is essential that ovarian cancer is caught in the early stages.
- If found in the early stages, the majority of women will be alive and well after five years.
- Awareness of symptoms is the principle means of early diagnosis to save lives!
- With the help of the media, we aim to save lives by educating women about the symptoms of ovarian cancer. We aim to inform them about what to do if they have symptoms, empowering them to manage their health.
How is it possible that healthy people can get cancer?
ReplyDeleteI think this is because of not leading an healthy life style. It is really a dangerous disease for women and it has to be prevented before it arises in a women's body. I think a proper diet with yoga can help now.

It is interesting that some of the best treatments for a wide range of conditions are now offshore. For instance Germany has many clinics that treat cancer with methods not available in the US. The same is true of stem cell therapy which is not legal in the US, but, has helped many that have traveled abroad to countries with more progressive medical systems.
