Early Warning Signs of Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is termed a silent disease because it typically isn't found until it is in the advanced stages. In most of these cases by the time the cancer is detected it has already spread to other parts of the abdomen. However, there are some early warning signs that can help you to detect ovarian cancer before it is too late.

Cervical Cancer: Relying on Pap Smears Alone for Cancer Prevention Can Kill You
Like many women, you might think that: • An annual visit to your ObGyn or Family Practice physician will virtually eliminate your risk of getting gynecologic cancer • A yearly Pap smear by itself reliably prevents cervical cancer • A yearly pelvic exam and Pap prevents all other gynecologic cancers Don’t bet your life on these myths!!

What You Should Know About Pelvic Exams
First you need to know just exactly what a pelvic exam is. It is an exam of the vagina, cervix and uterus that is done by a doctor or some other qualified health care professional. Pelvic exams should start to be done at least a few years after a woman begins to have sexual intercourse or at the age of 21.
