| Oct 21, 2015 at 12:44 | comment | added | ewitkows | Thanks for the feedback everyone, its much appreciated (esp for such a sensitive subject). @YviDe yes my wife has been diagnosed with fertility issues, PCOS and Endometriosis (all mentioned in the NBC article), and as a guy I've learned MUCH more about women's anatomy than I ever cared to =] All interesting and helpful information however, thanks again for taking the time. | |

| Oct 21, 2015 at 4:18 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | "How can my wife get appropriate screening\early diagnosis?" is also part of the question, and should (in my opinion) be in the answer. It has the potential to do some good. The DVs are no more out of control than the UVs, of which you've gotten many. Complaints about a rare DV are easy to dismiss. | |
| Oct 21, 2015 at 4:05 | comment | added | YviDe | @anongoodnurse yes, I read that. The question was still "what doctor to go to" and not "does screening make sense".. Gosh, the downvoting on this site is really out of control... | |

Screening for ovarian cancer has not been proven to decrease the death rate from the disease." | |
