📣 September is National Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month & National Ovarian Cancer Month 💚💙

Gynecologic cancers include cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. Together, they impact thousands of women and people with female reproductive organs every year.

🔹 Gynecologic Cancers

Nearly 100,000 women are diagnosed each year in the U.S.

Over 30,000 die annually from these cancers.

🔹 Ovarian Cancer

Often called the “silent killer” because symptoms can be vague and easily overlooked.

1 in 78 women will develop ovarian cancer in their lifetime.

When detected early, the 5-year survival rate is over 90%—but only about 20% of cases are found early.

💡 Know the signs: bloating, pelvic/abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, and urinary urgency or frequency.

💚 Spread awareness.
💙 Support research.
💚 Encourage regular check-ups and early detection.

🌸 September is PCOS Awareness Month 🌸

Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age—that’s about 5 million women in the U.S. alone. Despite being one of the most common hormonal conditions, up to 70% of cases remain undiagnosed.

PCOS can impact menstrual cycles, fertility, weight, skin, and overall health, but with early diagnosis and proper care, symptoms can be managed. 💜

👉 Common symptoms include:
✔️ Irregular or missed periods
✔️ Excess hair growth or acne
✔️ Weight changes
✔️ Difficulty getting pregnant

Remember—you are not alone. Our team is here to provide support, diagnosis, and treatment options.
