May 8 is World Ovarian Cancer Day
On May 8, people around the world raise their voices in the fight against ovarian cancer, the most lethal of women’s cancers.
295,000+ women around the world are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year and 184,000+ die from the disease.
Absent a reliable screening test, awareness of the four primary ovarian cancer symptoms is the best defense. These symptoms are:
- BLOATING
- DIFFICULTY EATING OR FEELING FULL QUICKLY
- ABDOMINAL OR PELVIC PAIN
- URINARY FREQUENCY OR URGENCY
If you have any of these symptoms for more than two weeks, see a doctor, preferably a gynecologist.
