Going through menopause is bad enough; the symptoms can be devastating as most women will attest. But if you are taking hormones prescribed by your doctor, are you also worried about ovarian cancer? Perhaps you may want to find out the facts, and take steps to avoid this dreaded affliction that will strike over 22,000 women in the U.S. this year alone. Over 60% of the women diagnosed will die of the disease.Ovarian cancer is a cancer that forms in the ovaries (either one or both) of a woman, and is normally one of two types; either ovarian epithelial carcinoma, which is formed in the cells of the surface of the ovaries, or malignant germ cell tumors that begin in the egg cells. The fact is that ovarian cancer is now the 4th leading cause of death in women, but mainly strikes women over the age of 50 when menopause is either complete or well on its way.

Ovarian cancer is a deadly form of cancer - it kills more women than any other type of cancer of the reproductive system. If diagnosed and treated early, however, the survival rate is quite high. Unfortunately, ovarian cancer is known as silent disease - it produces no symptoms until it is in its later stages, so the death rate is also quite high. Signs of ovarian cancer:Often there are no obvious symptoms until the cancer is in its later stages of development. These symptoms may include enlargement of the abdomen, diarrhea or constipation, frequent urination, or in rare cases, vaginal bleeding.Ovarian cancer diagnosis and detection:Any enlargement of the abdomen or persistent digestive disturbances that cannot be explained by any other condition should prompt you to see a gynecologist for an exam. Women who have a family history of ovarian cancer may want to be tested of genes with which it has been associated. Routine pelvic exams can detect a hardened or enlarged ovary or an ovarian growth, while pap smears are not very useful in detecting this. A tumor may also show up on a transvaginal ultrasound. A biopsy is needed to confirm any suspicions. Researchers are studying the...more
