Ovarian Cancer: What You Need to Know

Do you know what the signs and risk factors are?

Pay Attention to Your Doc - Not every doc is a good one. Some might not listen to your concerns or make you feel bad about your sex life. Pay attention to what your doc says, how they talk to you, how difficult it is to make an appointment and how long you have to wait to be seen. If you’re not happy, it’s OK to find a new doctor.  (Photo: PhotoInc/Getty Images)
What Is Ovarian Cancer? - Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that begins forming in the ovaries. A woman’s two ovaries are placed on the right and left side of one’s uterus. In its early stages, ovarian cancer shows very little symptoms if any and is often undiagnosed until it spreads to the pelvis or abdomen, writes the Mayo Clinic. (Photo: ericsphotography/Getty Images)
