Ovarian cancer is very hard to detect, especially in the early stages. This
cancer affects the two small, almond shaped organs, which are located in the deep regions of the abdomen,
one on each side of the uterus.
Only about 10% of all cases are diagnosed and treated in early stages.
There are quite a few symptoms. These symptoms occurs when tumors begin to grow and place pressure on
the bladder and rectum, and fluids begin to form.
Some of the symptoms are:
- Unexplained change in bowel and/or bladder habits
- Constipation, urinary frequency and/or incontinence.
- Gastrointestinal upset, such as gas, indigestion and/or nausea.
- Unexplained weight loss or weight gain.
This is a very popular teal silicone ovarian cancer awareness bracelet.
It has the words Hope, Faith, Courage, and Strength. Awareness ribbons sit between each word.
The Ovarian cancer wristbands are used to fundraise for the charity.
The "Unite to Fight" wristband is one of the famous ovarian cancer wristbands.
It gains strength of unity to work against the cancer.
