What causes ovarian cancer?
My neighbor was just diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and it's quite shocking. I want to understand more about it for awareness. What are the main risk factors or causes that lead to ovarian cancer?

Dr. Google will literally connect a mild stomach bloat to last-stage cancer in two clicks. Take a chill pill, it is mostly down to gene mutations like BRCA or age, not your late-night maggi cravings.

The main risk factors are family history, obesity, and getting older. Don't go for expensive unapproved tests; just get a basic yearly health checkup done at any reliable local lab, it is very budget-friendly.

Beta, I tried all kinds of kadhas and organic diets for my abdominal issues before realizing that organic stuff cannot prevent cell mutations or genetic risks. Eat healthy for general strength, but go to a gynecologist for a proper ultrasound if you feel persistent bloating.

Absolutely correct to ask this, as awareness is very low. Usually, it is linked to age, family history, or sometimes late pregnancies, so regular pelvic scans help a lot.

I finished my treatment last year and can tell you it often starts with very basic gene mutations or just bad luck with aging. Please don't ignore constant bloating, feeling full quickly, or pelvic pain, as catching it early makes a massive difference.
