Cervical Cancer Symptoms You Must Be Awake Of:
Ovarian
cancer is a type of gynecologic cancer that originates in the cells of the
ovaries. It is the fifth most common cancer in women. As a matter of fact, it causes
more deaths than any other type of gynecologic cancer. Cervical cancer is often goes undetected in
its early stages and it is usually found when the cancer cells have already
spread into the pelvis and abdomen.
There
are several factors that increase a person's risk of developing this disease.
Women who give birth earlier in life are less likely to get this cancer.
Additionally, the more children they have, the lower the risk will be. Women
who have inherited BRCA1 or BRCA 2 gene mutation are at greater risk than those
who have not. Women with personal or family history of ovarian and breast
cancer should be more careful about their health since they are at greater risk
of developing the disease. Age is another major risk factor; most deaths caused
by this disease occur in women age 55 and older.
As
with other types of cancer, ovarian cancer is indeed a very scary disease.
However, it does not mean that it can't be cured. If the tumor is detected
early, there is a 90 percent chance it will be cured. If the cancer is detected
late and has already spread to other parts of the body, the chance of survival
is lower and it can even lead to death. Hence, you need to know what the early
symptoms of ovarian cancer are.
When
the tumor is in its early states, it tends to show warning signs which are
often mistaken for symptoms of other diseases such as digestive and bladder
problems. These include abdominal pain, bloating, difficulty eating, and
feeling full quickly. Additionally, sufferers may also experience other
symptoms such as abnormal menstrual cycles, heavy feeling in pelvic area,
swollen abdomen, back pain, digestive problems (such as lack of appetite,
indigestion, constipation, nausea and vomiting, weight gain or loss), excessive
hair growth, as well as increased urinary frequency.
