Educating women about ovarian cancer symptoms

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month. We all need to create more awareness and to educate the women in our lives about the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Spread the word - if you have persistent bloating, frequent urination, gas, changes in bowel movements and painful intercourse for more than two weeks, ask your doctor to check for ovarian cancer.

A simple blood test and a trans-vaginal ultrasound are the tools we have at our disposal right now. Hopefully we'll have a tool for early detection soon.
