Ovarian Cancer Symptoms
The vast majority of ovarian cancers are found at advanced stages, because early, small ovarian cancers are asymptomatic or have vague symptoms and cannot usually be found by a physician's exam. It is important to recognize the symptoms and risk factors of ovarian cancer and talk to your physician if you experience any of the following:
- Pelvic or abdominal pain or discomfort
- Vague but persistent gastrointestinal upsets such as gas, nausea and indigestion
- Frequency and/or urgency of urination in the absence of an infection
- Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
- Pelvic and/or abdominal swelling, bloating and/or feeling of fullness
- Ongoing unusual fatigue
- Unexplained changes in bowel habits
