Ovarian cancer originates from the rapid multiplication of cells within the ovaries, which can infiltrate and damage healthy tissues.

Located on each side of the uterus, the female reproductive system houses two ovaries, each approximately the size of an almond, responsible for egg production and hormone secretion, including estrogen and progesterone.

Symptoms: Ovarian cancer may commence without noticeable symptoms, often resembling other common conditions. However, when symptoms do emerge, they might include:

• Abdominal bloating or swelling
• Early satiety during meals
• Unexplained weight loss
• Pelvic discomfort
• Fatigue
• Back pain
• Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation
• Increased urinary frequency

When to Seek Medical Attention: If you experience any concerning signs or symptoms, consult a healthcare professional.
