Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in Australia. Ovarian cancer often presents with subtle, ongoing symptoms, and there is currently no routine screening test. Knowing the signs, such as persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling full quickly, or changes in urinary habits, and speaking with a GP early can make a real difference. Let’s raise awareness, support those affected, and encourage early action in our community.
