Who is at risk for ovarian cancer?





The exact causes of ovarian cancer are not known. However, studies show that the following factors may increase the chance of developing this disease:





*Family history. First-degree relatives (mother, daughter, sister) of a woman who has had ovarian cancer are at increased risk of developing this type of cancer themselves. The likelihood is especially high if two or more first-degree relatives have had the disease. The risk is somewhat less, but still above average, if other relatives (grandmother, aunt, cousin) have had ovarian cancer. A family history of breast or colon cancer is also associated with an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer.





*Age. The likelihood of developing ovarian cancer increases as a woman gets older. Most ovarian cancers occur in women over the age of 50, with the highest risk in women over 60.





*Childbearing. Women who have never had children are more likely to develop ovarian cancer than women who have had children. In fact, the more children a woman has had, the less likely she is to develop ovarian cancer.





*Personal history. Women who have had breast or colon cancer may have a greater chance of developing ovarian cancer than women who have not had breast or colon cancer.








Recognizing ovarian cancer symptoms-


Ovarian cancer often shows no obvious signs or symptoms until late in its development. Signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer may include:





-General abdominal discomfort and/or pain (gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating, cramps)


-Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or frequent urination


-Loss of appetite


-Feeling of fullness even after a light meal


-Weight gain or loss with no known reason

Reply:What it sounds like to me from your description is Endometriosis. I've had the condition for nearly five years now. I go through the exact same thing. It's an overgrowth of the uterine lining and it can attract many organs in your body. You should take a look at this web site endometriosis.org it gives you all the information that you need about the condition and the various treatments. Unfortunately it is a condition without a cure and can be hard at times to deal with emotionally and physicaly because it is so long term. I would go back to your doctor and ask him/her for some more tests. Sometimes it can be hard to diagnose.


I wish you all the best and hope and pray for you that you'll never hear the words cancer.
Reply:I have had the same pain since i was in middle school and i am now 25. I have went to the doc about it and he said i was ovulating. So i would say thats what it is but i'm not a dr so i would go see one.
