Ovarian Cancer on the Rise in Young Women in India

Ovarian Cancer on the Rise in Young Women in India

Ovarian cancer is a disease where cells in the ovaries grow out of control.

In India, it's becoming more common in young women.

This rise is due to fewer pregnancies, later childbirth, and more metabolic issues like obesity.

Lifestyle changes, such as unhealthy eating and lack of exercise, and hormonal treatments can contribute to the risk.

Genetic factors also play a role.

Women can lower their risk by maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding long-term hormone therapy, making smart reproductive choices, and getting regular check-ups.

Quitting smoking is also crucial.
