🌸 Ovarian Cancer Awareness

🔍 What is Ovarian Cancer?

The ovaries are two small organs in a woman’s body that make eggs and hormones.

Ovarian cancer happens when abnormal cells in the o***y grow uncontrollably and form a tumor.

⚠️ Symptoms (often vague and ignored in early stages)

Many symptoms are common to other everyday problems, which is why ovarian cancer is often detected late.
Look out for these if they persist for weeks:

Bloating or swelling in the abdomen

Feeling full quickly while eating

Persistent stomach pain or pelvic pain

Frequent or urgent need to urinate

Changes in bowel habits (constipation)

Unexplained weight loss or fatigue

🧪 Screening & Detection

Unlike breast or cervical cancer, there is no simple routine screening test for ovarian cancer yet.

Ultrasound and a blood test called CA-125 may be used if symptoms are suspicious, but they are not reliable for general screening.

Regular gynecological check-ups are important, especially for women with:

Family history of ovarian or breast cancer

Known genetic risk (BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations)

💊 Treatment (depends on stage of cancer)

Surgery: Removal of the tumor, and sometimes ovaries, uterus, or fallopian tubes.

Chemotherapy: Medicines to kill remaining cancer cells.

Targeted therapy / Immunotherapy: Newer treatments that work against specific cancer pathways.

🌼 Key Awareness Messages

Know the symptoms and don’t ignore persistent abdominal changes.

Early detection saves lives – consult a doctor if you have risk factors or ongoing symptoms.

Healthy lifestyle (balanced diet, exercise, avoiding smoking) lowers general cancer risk.

Family history matters – if close relatives had breast/ovarian cancer, genetic counseling is helpful.

"A teacher is not just someone who imparts lessons, but someone who ignites curiosity, nurtures dreams, and shapes lives with wisdom and compassion. On this Teacher’s Day, I bow with gratitude to all the mentors who have guided me—not only with knowledge from books, but with values that light the path of life. Thank you for being patient when I faltered, encouraging when I doubted, and inspiring me to be the best version of myself. Today and always, I celebrate you."
