OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS AT THE BSMC
This month at the Bogan Shire Medical Centre, we shine a light on Ovarian cancer - a disease which often has subtle symptoms and is sometimes called the “silent” cancer.
Know the signs:
- Persistent bloating
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Feeling full quickly
- Urinary urgency or frequency
If symptoms are new, unusual, and persist for more than a few weeks, don’t ignore them. Early detection can save lives. Talk to your healthcare provider about your risk factors, especially if you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer.
The Bogan Shire Medical Centre offers a Women’s Health Check for those aged 45–49, to review:
- Blood pressure and heart health
- Blood sugar and cholesterol levels
- Cervical screening
- Breast health
- Perimenopause symptoms
- Mental wellbeing
Preventive care helps you stay healthy, active, and informed about changes that may occur during this stage of life. A simple appointment today can make a big difference for tomorrow.
Contact the Bogan Shire Medical Centre team on (02) 6832 1305 to make your appointment.
