Watch as women's health expert and advocate Dr. Donnica Moore explains why the risk of ovarian cancer increases after menopause.
The risk of ovarian cancer does increase after menopause in small part because of menopause itself and the hormonal changes associated with menopause, but in large part just because of aging. The older we get, the more at risk we are for ovarian cancer. The average age of first diagnosis is 63. However, younger women can also get ovarian cancers, so we shouldn't forget that 4% of women with ovarian cancer are under the age of 35.
Hot flashes, mood swings and poor sleep are just some of the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Experts share tips about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and how good nutrition and exercise can help ease menopause symptoms.
