💊The most important risk factors are age and a family history of ovarian cancer.
💊Age: Two-thirds of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer are 55 or older.
💊Family history: Women with a mother, sister, grandmother or aunt who has had ovarian cancer have a higher risk of developing the disease.
💊Being overweight or obese Obesity has been linked to a higher risk of developing many cancers.
💊Smoking: Smoking can increase the risk of certain types of ovarian cancer.
💊Using talcum powder: The talcum powder could possibly travel into the vagina through the cervix and into the womb. Once in the womb, it could then possibly reach the fallopian tubes and then the ovaries. The powder could then cause irritation and over a period of time cause cancerous changes to the cells of the ovaries.
💊Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): Taking HRT increases a woman’s risk of developing ovarian cancer by 40 percent compared to a woman who has never taken HRT.
