Symptoms
Ovarian cancer was once thought to be the “silent killer” because common symptoms hadn’t been collected from those affected by the cancer. But recently, researchers have gathered a list of symptoms that, if occurring daily for more than two weeks, should be noted and reported to a doctor—preferably a gynecologist.
These symptoms include:
- Bloating
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Difficulty eating, feeling full quickly, or indigestion
- Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency)
Less common symptoms of ovarian cancer include:
- Fatigue
- Back pain
- Menstrual irregularities
- Constipation
- Pain with intercourse
