Thyroid cancer is becoming more common, especially in young adults, and women are almost three times more likely to get it than men. It grows in the small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck, and often develops slowly — so many people don’t notice it at first.

Early signs to watch for:
• A small lump or swelling in the neck
• A change in your voice (hoarse or deeper)
• Trouble swallowing

These symptoms can be very mild and easily mistaken for stress, allergies, or throat irritation.

Most thyroid nodules are harmless, but cancerous ones can spread to the lymph nodes or other areas if they are not treated. Early detection makes treatment much more successful.

Part of the rise in thyroid cancer comes from more imaging tests (like ultrasounds, CT scans) that detect nodules by accident. But many cases still go unnoticed until later, which is why regular neck checks and medical exams are important — especially for young women, who are at the highest risk.

Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Every September, communities across the world recognize Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. This time is dedicated to spreading knowledge about one of the most serious gynecological cancers. Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread, making awareness and preventive action critical for women’s health.

Why Ovarian Cancer Awareness Matters

Ovarian cancer is sometimes called the “silent killer” because its symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, or frequent urination can be easily mistaken for less serious conditions. According to the American Cancer Society, thousands of women are diagnosed each year, and early detection significantly increases survival rates. Awareness helps women take preventive measures, get the right screenings, and prioritize their health.

The Role of Ultrasound in Detection

One of the most effective tools in detecting ovarian cancer is ultrasound imaging, especially transvaginal ultrasound. Unlike external pelvic exams, this specialized imaging allows healthcare providers to closely evaluate the ovaries and uterus.
What doctors look for: Ultrasound can detect abnormal growths, cysts, or masses on the ovaries. While not every abnormality is cancerous, imaging provides valuable information for further diagnosis.
Why it is important: Early identification of irregularities gives women and their physicians the opportunity to monitor changes, run additional tests, and intervene sooner if necessary. Preventive imaging can often mean the difference between catching ovarian cancer early or missing critical warning signs.

The Transvaginal Ultrasound Procedure

A transvaginal ultrasound is a safe and minimally invasive procedure. Here is what patients can expect:
A small ultrasound probe is gently inserted into the vaginal canal.The probe uses sound waves to create detailed images of the ovaries, uterus, and surrounding tissues. The exam usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes and does not require recovery time.
The procedure is not painful for most patients and provides doctors with highly accurate images to assess reproductive health.

Taking Preventive Steps

Getting a transvaginal ultrasound does not mean you have cancer. It means you are taking proactive steps toward prevention and peace of mind. During Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, women are encouraged to talk to their doctors about risk factors, family history, and whether a screening ultrasound is right for them.

Carotid Ultrasound Screening — Protect Your Brain & Heart

A safe, painless test that uses sound waves to look at the carotid arteries in your neck.

What is a carotid ultrasound?

A carotid ultrasound (also called a carotid duplex) uses sound waves to create images and measure blood flow in the carotid arteries — the vessels that carry blood from your heart to your, neck, face and brain.

Why it matters

- Finds plaque build‑up and narrowing (stenosis) that may raise stroke risk
- Helps your clinician tailor care — from lifestyle changes and medicines to procedures when appropriate
- Reassures you when results are normal

Who should consider it?

Carotid ultrasound is appropriate when you’ve had symptoms like a transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke‑like symptoms (sudden weakness/numbness on one side, trouble speaking or vision changes), a neck bruit, or when your clinician recommends it based on your overall risk.
If you are over 45, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or a family history of stroke-this could be life-saving.
