February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about a condition that is often called the “silent cancer” because symptoms can be vague and easily overlooked.

Ovarian cancer symptoms may include:

• Persistent bloating or abdominal swelling

• Pelvic or abdominal pain

• Feeling full quickly or loss of appetite

• Changes in bowel or bladder habits

• Unexplained fatigue or weight changes

If these symptoms are new, persistent, or worsening, it’s important to see your GP. Early recognition and investigation can make a significant difference.

At Hill Medical Services, we encourage all women to listen to their bodies and seek medical advice if something doesn’t feel right. If you have concerns or a family history of ovarian or related cancers, please book an appointment with your doctor to discuss further assessment and support.
