Accepted Answer

Menses (periods): Are caused by pitutary driving ovaries to produce estrogen, and then develop eggs to burst from ovary for fertilization.  Uterine lining builds with estrogen stimulation, when estrogen stops, the linig shed.  This does not necessarily change with an ovarian cancer on either side.

Question 7

can arimidex (anastrozole) cause ovarian cancer

Accepted Answer

Highly unlikely: Although Arimidex (anastrozole) can cause many side effects, it is not known to significantly increase risk or cause ovarian cancer. It is a relative new medicine and so this may change in the future when more data becomes available (more patients treated with it and their outcomes).
Obviously you need to weight the risks/benefits when taking any medication, especially chemotherapy agents.
Good luck..

Question 8

what is the cause of bloating from ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Probably ascites.: Ascites is a common finding/complication in ovarian cancer patients.  Bloating could also come from the increased size in the ovary due to the tumor, which results in an increased abdominal girth.  It could also be from a condition called endometriosis, which can make fluid and cycle like a period which can also cause bloating.  Estrogen replacement therapy increases ovarian cancer risk.

Question 9

will an uncomplicated abortion cause ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: There is absolutely no known relationship between the two issues. The lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is very small and there may be genetic reasons but no risk from the procedure.

Question 10

can ovarian cancer cause pain in right side and hip?

Accepted Answer

It might: A woman with ovarian cancer who develops new side or hip pain should notify her oncologist.   Ovarian cancer can cause such pain if it has spread to the bones or is growing near the kidney or the muscles of the abdominal wall.  It is rare for isolated hip or side pain to be the first symptom of ovarian cancer.
