What causes Ovarian cancer?

As soon as I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer I immediately began reading about it. For the average woman this cancer is not easy to detect.

Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and abdomen.
The symptoms are associated with bloating, feelings of indigestion and stomach pains all of which I experienced and treated myself with over the counter medicines such as Mylanta, Eno and the likes.

It wasn't until last year that another symptom surfaced and that was the frequent need to urinate but even that was manageable. What actually took me to the doctors in 2009 and last year was associated with the mild pelvic pains.

Unfortunately for me my cancer was not detected until it had metastasized even though it probably could have been dealt with in 2009 when Dr Fatiaki suggested that the mass was not something to worry about and that it was merely a cyst.

It would be good to read the article provided at the link for some wise advice.http://t.co/o7qccMNp
