IF YOU FEEL SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING

According to the World Health ORganization, gynecologic cancers account for 19% of the new cancer cases diagnosed each year. Gynecologic cancer is any cancer that starts in a woman’s reproductive organs.

There are five main types of gynecologic cancer: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar, with uterine and ovarian being the most common. Ovarian cancer is the fifth-leading cause of cancer-related death among women and often goes undetected until it has spread to the pelvis and abdomen.

Many signs of gynecologic cancer are often symptoms of other conditions. Don’t be alarmed if you have signs, but speak with your doctor to diagnose what you may be experiencing. To learn how WhidbeyHealth can help, visit our Women’s Care page: https://whidbeyhealth.org/locations/womens-care/
