Symptoms Of Ovarian Cancer:  Due to wrong eating habits and bad lifestyles nowadays, cases of cancer are increasing rapidly in women. Ovarian cancer is a dangerous cancer in women. Ovarian cancer occurs when cells in the ovary start dividing and growing abnormally. These cells take the form of tumours, which later take the form of cancer. If treatment is not started on time, it can gradually spread to other parts of the body as well. According to health experts, many types of symptoms can be seen when ovarian cancer starts in women. But often women ignore these symptoms considering them to be a normal problem. This is the reason why most cases of ovarian cancer are detected in the advanced stage. In such a situation, the patient may also die due to lack of timely treatment. Therefore, women should not ignore the changes happening in their bodies. World Cancer Day is celebrated every year on 4 February. The purpose of celebrating this day is to make people around the world aware of cancer. Come, in this article, let us know in detail about the early symptoms of ovarian cancer from Dr. Amit Bhargava, Director, Medical Oncology Department, Fortis Cancer Institute, Vasant Kunj.
