As women, we have the power to listen to our bodies and take charge of our health. However, when it comes to ovarian cancer, the signs can be elusive, often leading to a delayed diagnosis. In this eyeopening video, I shed light on the 13 symptoms that may indicate ovarian cancer, empowering women to recognize the warning signs and seek early intervention. Today's video I want to highlight the crucial symptoms of ovarian cancer that every woman should know. Ovarian cancer is often referred to as the "silent killer," as it typically goes unnoticed until it reaches an advanced stage. But today, I aim to change that by equipping you with knowledge that could save lives.
By sharing this video and spreading awareness about the symptoms of ovarian cancer, we can collectively help in early detection and potentially save lives. Remember, knowledge is power, and every woman should be equipped with the ability to recognize the red flags of this silent threat.
Ovarian cancer is often referred to as a "silent killer" because symptoms can be vague and difficult to detect. Here are 13 silent symptoms of ovarian cancer that every woman should be aware of:
1. Persistent bloating swollen abdomen, feeling puffy and stuffed, filling filled and fullness.
2. Urinary Issues increased frequency, increased volume and can include difficulty emptying bladder completely and ovarian cancer can be accompanied by painful urination and even blood in the urine. Abdominal or pelvic pain
3. GERD indigestion that is not responsive to medications includes reflux pain and persistent heart burn.
4. Lower Back Pain unexplained chronic low back pain and upper hip pain
5. Painful intercourse
6. Menstrual changes lighter/heavier bleeding, missed periods and delayed periods, later ovulation and break through bleeding postmenopause
7. Persistant Nausea/Vomiting
8. Leg Pain pain that runs down the leg often feels like sciatica pain and can accompany numbness
9. One leg that is swollen or experiences edema as a symptom of ovarian cancer
10. Changes in bowel habits bouts of constipation or diarrhea and alternating that mirrors IBS like symptoms
11. Lower abdominal /pelvic pain
12. Unexplained fatigue after ruling out common fatigue sources by checking: iron, thyroid values,
13. Lack of appetite Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly and can lead to weight loss.
It's important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by many other conditions and that experiencing one or more of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that a woman has ovarian cancer. However, if these symptoms persist for more than a few weeks or if they worsen over time, women should consult their healthcare provider for evaluation and diagnosis.
It's time to take control of our health and be vigilant about any changes our bodies may be signaling. If you've identified with any of the symptoms mentioned in this video, consult your healthcare professional without delay. Together, let's raise awareness, empower one another, and fight against ovarian cancer.
