March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 🌸

Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until later stages, making awareness and early detection crucial. Symptoms can be vague but may include bloating, feeling full quickly or loss of appetite, a swollen tummy, changes in urination habits and persistent pelvic or abdominal pain.

1️⃣ Know the symptoms
2️⃣ Listen to your body
3️⃣ Spread awareness

These symptoms are very common and can be caused by many different conditions.
But it's still important to get them checked by a GP. This is because if they're caused by cancer, finding it early can mean it's more treatable. 🩺

If you’re over 40, you should get your blood pressure tested at least every five years. You can do this yourself if you have a monitor at home, or as part of an NHS health check, at some workplaces, at a pharmacy or your GP practice.

💉 Protecting our future health starts early.

The HPV vaccine helps guard against several types of cancer, including cervical cancer as well as cancers of the mouth, throat, and ge****ls.

That’s why it’s offered to both boys and girls in school, helping protect them later in life.

While the vaccine protects against many HPV types, it doesn’t cover them all, so attending cervical screening when invited remains essential.

The first sign of a stroke might not seem like much. Like - not being able to raise your arm.

But any sign of a stroke is always an emergency. Face or arm or speech, at the first sign, it's time to call 999
