As the PNQCRI observes Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month this September, it’s crucial to highlight this often-overlooked disease. Ovarian cancer is known as the "silent killer" because its symptoms can be vague and easily dismissed. However, early detection can significantly impact outcomes, making awareness and education vital.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the common signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, including an example symptom diary to help you track any changes in your health. We’ll also discuss risk factors associated with the disease and provide critical questions to ask your healthcare provider during your next visit. Additionally, we'll examine the important relationship between family history and ovarian cancer, highlighting why knowing your family's medical background is essential.
Join us as we delve into this critical topic, empowering ourselves and our loved ones with the knowledge needed to recognize the signs of ovarian cancer and advocate for our health. Together, we can raise awareness and support those affected by this challenging disease. Did you know that anyone born with ovaries is at risk for ovarian cancer? This National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, let's focus on sharing the facts. Awareness is the first step toward making a
difference. 💙 #NOCAM2024 #KnowOvarian
