Ovarian cancer can be one of those cancers that are missed by women, as they may feel they have similar symptoms related to their menstrual cycle or digestive issues. This month raise awareness by wearing a teal ribbon…& maybe hold an afternoon teal!?
There are four main symptoms you need to be aware of:
- Abdominal or pelvic pain
- Increased abdominal size or persistent abdominal bloating
- Needing to urinate often or urgently
- Feeling full after eating a small amount
If you have these symptoms frequently within a four week period…get it checked out. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Check out this website for more info & how to reduce your risk of ovarian cancer.
