Ovarian cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers for women, especially over 50, due to its vague or absent early symptoms. But the good news? Certain lifestyle changes may significantly lower your risk.

Obesity can lead to hormonal imbalance, which may trigger abnormal cell growth in ovaries. Staying active, eating whole foods, and avoiding excess sugar and processed meals can help manage your weight and reduce risk.

Taking birth control pills for over five years has been linked to up to a 50% drop in ovarian cancer risk. These pills reduce ovulation frequency-less ovulation means less wear-and-tear on the ovaries.

Hormone Replacement Therapy, while relieving menopause symptoms, may raise ovarian cancer risk. Always consult a doctor before opting in, and explore safer, non-hormonal alternatives.

If cancer runs in your family, genetic testing could be life-saving. Knowing your inherited risk empowers early screenings or even preventive actions.

Smoking increases ovarian cancer risk. While moderate alcohol may be fine, heavy consumption affects hormone balance. Cutting both out helps beyond just cancer prevention.

Awareness + Small Steps = Big Impact. No guarantees, but smart choices now could mean a healthier future. Prevention begins with you.
