🚨 Important Health Alert for Women Over 50! 🚨
The NHS has sounded the alarm on a potentially deadly cancer that could affect around 14 million women, especially those over 50. Ovarian cancer, known for being tricky to diagnose, is the sixth most common cancer among women in the UK and leads to over 4,000 deaths annually.
Even if you’ve had your ovaries removed, you’re not completely off the hook, as this disease can also impact your fallopian tubes or abdominal lining. The symptoms are often subtle and can be mistaken for less serious issues, making early detection challenging but crucial.
🔍 Key Symptoms to Watch For:
– Persistent bloating or swollen tummy
– Pelvic or tummy pain
– Feeling full quickly after eating
– Frequent or urgent need to urinate
Other possible signs include indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea, back pain, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and post-menopausal bleeding. If any of these symptoms occur often or worsen, don’t hesitate to see your GP.
🌟 Why early detection matters:
These symptoms are common and may arise from various conditions. However, if they’re due to cancer, identifying it early can improve treatment success. Trust your instincts—if something feels off, let your doctor know.
To all women, especially those over 50, stay informed and vigilant. Share this post to spread awareness and maybe save a life. 💪🎗️
