What is Ovarian Cancer?
Ovarian cancer is very aggressive. It is the fifth most common cancer in women. It is diagnosed in more than 25,000 women in the United States each year, and approximately 16,000 women die of the disease annually. The median age is 56, but it has been seen in women as young as 22. Classic symptoms include a bloated or enlarged abdomen, urinary urgency, constipation and/or diarrhea. It is most often misdiagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

The CA-125 Blood Test is a simple test that detects ovarian cancer. While many doctors offices and even insurance companies will tell you they have never heard of it, if pressed, the test is covered by insurance. If you are experiencing the above symptoms, do not take "no" for an answer.

How can I reduce my risk of ovarian cancer?
-Use of oral contraceptives
-Having at least one child
-Breast-feeding a child for a year or longer
-Tubal ligation or hysterectomy

Eating well, managing stress and exercise are all great ways to promote your overall health and combat ovarian cancer.
