Dr. Alberts:
Women should be aware of their body, in general, so if they are having chronic back pain; if they are having chronic bloating; if they are having evidence of increasing abdominal girth, i.e. their belt doesn’t fit properly, their clothes don’t fit properly, they ought to be seeking advice from a gynecologist, and so they shouldn’t wait until something bad is happening to their body.
So they just need to be aware of what is going on because the earlier that you detect ovarian cancer, the earlier you detect any disease, the more likely that you are going to have a long-term good result of the treatment.
