🔍 Ovarian Cancer Signs Every Woman Should Know 🎗️

📺 Welcome back to Age Care 4U! In today's video, we're shedding light on the 9 common signs of ovarian cancer that no woman should ignore. Ovarian cancer affects the tissues of the almond-shaped organs called ovaries, located on either side of the uterus. It's a condition that can be challenging to detect in its early stages, but being aware of the signs is crucial.

Approximately 6% of women will develop ovarian cancer in their lifetime, making it more prevalent among older women or those who have never been pregnant. Shockingly, in 2021 alone, around 22,000 new cases were diagnosed, and sadly, nearly 14,000 lives were lost to this disease.

There are three types of ovarian cancer: epithelial, germ cell, and stromal. Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common, accounting for about 90% of cases. Germ cell ovarian cancer is less common, primarily affecting children and adolescents. The rarest type is stromal ovarian cancer, which occurs mainly in late adolescence and early adulthood.

Now, let's dive into the 9 common signs of ovarian cancer that you should never ignore: 💡💔

1️⃣ Frequent bloating: Feeling bloated regularly, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, could be an indicator of ovarian cancer.

2️⃣ Lower back pain: Persistent or intermittent pain in the lower back or pelvis, especially after periods or bowel movements, should be taken seriously.

3️⃣ Constipation: Difficulty passing stool, accompanied by bloating and feeling full after eating, could indicate ovarian cancer.

4️⃣ Fatigue: Gradual fatigue, loss of appetite, and bloating may be symptoms of ovarian cancer.

5️⃣ Abdominal pain: Ovarian cancer can cause abdominal pain that worsens with exertion and spreads to the groin area.

6️⃣ Feeling full quickly when eating: A sudden decrease in appetite and feeling full after consuming a small amount of food is crucial to pay attention to.

7️⃣ Frequent urgent need to urinate: An enlarged pelvic tumor may press on the bladder or ureter, leading to a frequent and urgent need to urinate.

8️⃣ Change in the menstrual cycle: Significant changes in your menstrual cycle should be discussed with your doctor, as they could be signs of ovarian cancer.

9️⃣ Difficulty eating: Occasional difficulty eating can be normal, but if it persists or worsens, it could indicate ovarian cancer.

Early detection is key to successfully treating ovarian cancer. Regular screening tests like abdominal ultrasound, pelvic exams, and CT scans can aid in diagnosis. Treatment options vary based on the stage and type of cancer, and may involve surgery, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy, either individually or in combination, to provide the best chances for recovery.

Remember, your health is precious. If you experience any of these signs or have concerns, don't hesitate to consult with your doctor. By being vigilant and proactive, you can improve your chances of early detection and successful treatment. 💪❤️
