I’m not using the rating system of “Top 10″ for this list because there is no “Top 10″ for ovarian cancer. These are just some signs and symptoms you need to watch for and see your doctor about. if you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you could be at risk for ovarian cancer:

1. Feeling a sensation of “pelvic heaviness”.

2. Vague lower abdominal discomfort

3. vaginal bleeding

4. weight gain or loss

5. abnormal menstrual cycles

6. unexplained bacck pain that worsens over time

7. increased abdominal girth

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.  If caught in time, ovarian cancer has a 90% survival rate. The bad news is that ovarian cancer is hard to detect so become familiar with the signs and protect your health.
