GYON Drs Nim Cabraal and Nisha Jagasia are the face of the Mater Ovarian Cancer Awareness month Campaign
Awareness is so important because Ovarian cancer is often called the “silent” cancer as symptoms are often subtle. Persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling full quickly, and frequent urination are common signs. If these symptoms are new, ongoing, and unusual for you, see your doctor. Awareness and early action can save lives. 💙
February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 💚
Ovarian cancer symptoms are often subtle — which is why early detection matters.
