Ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the ovaries. The female reproductive system contains two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries  each about the size of an almond  produce eggs (ova) as well as the hormones estrogen and progesterone.Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and abdomen. At this late stage, ovarian cancer is more difficult to treat. Early-stage ovarian cancer, in which the disease is confined to the ovary, is more likely to be treated successfully.                                        Surgery and chemotherapy are generally used to treat ovarian cancer.

Early-stage ovarian cancer rarely causes any symptoms. Advanced-stage ovarian cancer may cause few and nonspecific symptoms that are often mistaken for more common benign conditions.Signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer may include:

·        Abdominal bloating or swelling

·        Quickly feeling full when eating

·        Weight loss

·        Discomfort in the pelvis area

·        Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation

·        A frequent need to urinate
