Ovarian Cancer Red Flag Symptoms (Signs & Symptoms to Watch Out For)

Ovarian Cancer is a cancer of the ovaries and is estimated to affect 2% of the female population at some point in their lives. Ovarian Cancer is often overlooked in early stages, and healthcare providers often do not believe that there are symptoms in earlier stages of disease progression. However, there are important early findings that can be considered RED FLAG symptoms that should be looked out for, which we will discuss in this lesson.

    I truly appreciate your work. Your videos really help in the ongoing effort of retaining my medical knowledge.
  • @greyt1
    Nice concise presentation 👍
  • @monsiebabe2817
    Thanks for sharing and making it user friendly. Can I ask how it's diagnosed and what happens if one ovary cannot be seen on a scan, and how/if a hysterectomy can cause a higher risk of cancer ? So many questions sorry 😖
  • @chrismcgowan5180
    As you obviously know all these symptoms are so generic (less weight loss) which makes them practically useless?. The big one I look out for is low back pain but again that's very common in general and usually very late in the disease process. Nice video.
  • @dawnpettet5280
    Can also be Ovarian Cysts. So stop with the dramatics to scare women. I too had cysts in both ovaries, with much same symptoms.
