Environmental factors like air pollution, heat stress, dehydration and extreme weather can raise the risk of kidney disease and make it progress faster.

At the same time, treatments like dialysis use large amounts of water, energy and single use plastics, which adds pressure on the environment.

This year’s message is simple:
💚 Protect people.
💚 Protect the planet.
💚 Support healthier kidneys and a healthier world.

Ovarian cancer has four main symptoms:
• Persistent stomach pain
• Persistent bloating
• Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
• Needing to wee more often

These symptoms can also be caused by conditions like IBS, ovarian cysts or PCOS — so having them doesn’t mean you have ovarian cancer. But it’s still important to get them checked.

👉 Other symptoms can include:
• Indigestion
• Back pain
• Changes in bowel habits
• Unexplained weight loss
• Post menopausal vaginal bleeding
• Extreme tiredness

If your symptoms are:
• persistent
• severe
• frequent
• unusual for you

📞 Make an appointment with your GP as soon as possible.

Keeping a symptom diary can help you explain what’s been happening and support your doctor in making a diagnosis.
