Ovarian cancer is a growth of cells that forms in the ovaries. It is usually detected in late stages. The cells multiply quickly and can invade and destroy healthy body tissue. The female reproductive system contains two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. Dr Bhavna Parikh is Ovarian Cancer Specialist in Vile Parle
Uterine cancer includes two types of cancer: endometrial cancer (more common) and uterine sarcoma. Uterine cancer symptoms include bleeding between periods or after menopause. Uterine cancer treatment often consists of a hysterectomy to remove the uterus. Dr Bhavna Parikh is Ovarian Cancer Specialist in Vile Parle
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix — the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, play a role in causing most cervical cancer.
When exposed to HPV, the body's immune system typically prevents the virus from doing harm. In a small percentage of people, however, the virus survives for years, contributing to the process that causes some cervical cells to become cancer cells.
You can reduce your risk of developing cervical cancer by having screening tests and receiving a vaccine that protects against HPV infection. Dr Bhavna Parikh is Ovarian Cancer Specialist in Vile Parle
Early-stage cervical cancer generally produces no signs or symptoms.
