Dr Oz: Ovarian Cancer Symptoms
Dr Oz talked about the factors that affect a woman’s ovarian cancer symptoms, which can include pregnancy and even dairy consumption. His experts, Dr Kte Wolin and Dr Diljeet Singh, were on hand to explain more about Ovarian Cancer, the silent killer. Here are some Ovarian Cancer solutions you can use to lower your risk.
Dr Oz: Ovarian Cancer Birth Control Pills
Dr Singh advised that most women should consider low-dose birth control because it can benefit any women. Taking them regularly is a useful way to get long term benefits, and they are most effective after being taken for at least five years. However, if you are a smoker over age 35, be sure you mention that to your doctor, because this could raise your chances of developing a blood clot.
Dr Oz shared his ovarian cancer symptoms tracking list and explained how birth control, Vitamin D3, and a high fiber diet can all work to lower the risks.
Dr Oz: 1000 IU Vitamin D3 Dose
Another way you can lower your risk of contracting Ovarian Cancer is by incorporating Vitamin D3 into your daily routine. As a bonus, it also makes you less likely to die if you are diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. The science behind why this works is still being researched, but the benefits have been shown.
You can also have your doctor check your Vitamin D3 levels, because it can be hard to get this through your diet. You may need to consider a 1000 IU Vitamin D3 supplement dosage to boost your levels (that’s 1000 International Units).
Dr Oz Ovarian Cancer Symptom Tracking Sheet
You can use a calendar or notebook to track your Ovarian Cancer symptoms, because early warning signs could turn out to be serious if they persist or recur over a period of time. Here are the four areas you should be paying attention to.
- Increased Abdominal Size or Bloating
- Abdominal/Pelvic Pain
- Feeling Full Quickly or Difficulty Eating
- Frequent/Urgent Urination
Dr Oz said that many of these are common symptoms that could be associated with other things, so make sure to observe them over a period of time to figure out whether you should be concerned. Dr Oz’s website has a worksheet you can print out to track these symptoms over time.
Dr Oz: Fiber for Ovarian Cancer
Dr Kate Wolin said that fiber can help keep your body’s hormones balanced, which means you could lower your Ovarian Cancer risk by over 20% if you eat a high fiber diet. Dr Oz doesn’t think you could achieve similar results by taking any prescription to lower your risks. Taking advantage of one or more of these options could ultimately save your life.
