What is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month?

Every March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and is a chance to put ovarian cancer in the spotlight.

In the UK, over 7,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year. Two thirds of women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer too late when the cancer is harder to treat. And every day, 11 women die.

Do you know the symptoms of ovarian cancer?

  • Persistent bloating (not bloating that comes and goes) 

  • Feeling full quickly and/or loss of appetite 

  • Pelvic or abdominal pain (that's from your tummy to the top of your thighs) 

  • Needing to wee more urgently or more often than usual

Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer. The screening test checks the health of the cervix and helps find any abnormal changes before they can turn into cancer - it's not a test for cancer, it's a test to help prevent cancer.
