Cancer of the uterus and ovaries
The ovaries are responsible for the production of female sex hormones - estrogen and progesterone. In addition, they are also a storehouse for female sex cells - eggs. In the case of fertilization, it settles in the uterus, which thus functions as an "incubator" for babies.
Symptoms of ovarian or uterine cancer
A tumor on the ovary or in the uterus can manifest itself by:
- Bleeding after menopause
- Irregular menstruation
- Bloody discharge
Cancer of the uterus most often appears in women around 60 years of age.
How can I prevent this?
Prevention includes a healthy diet, enough exercise and enough sleep. It is also important not to smoke and avoid alcohol. It is equally important to visit regular preventive examinations at the gynecologist once a year.
