Ovarian cancer originates in the ovaries, the female reproductive organs responsible for egg production. It is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to subtle early symptoms, such as bloating, pelvic pain, and frequent urination. Risk factors include family history, genetic mutations (e.g., BRCA1/2), and age. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the ovaries and affected tissues, followed by chemotherapy or targeted therapies. Early detection improves prognosis, but many women face challenges due to late-stage diagnosis. Regular pelvic exams and awareness of symptoms are crucial for early intervention and better outcomes
