Ovarian Cancer: Key Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer

The most common symptoms of ovarian cancer include:

 

Pelvic or abdominal pain: Persistent or worsening discomfort in the abdomen or pelvic area.

 

Abdominal bloating or swelling: Feeling full quickly, even after eating small amounts of food, or experiencing persistent abdominal swelling.

 

Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly: Struggling to eat normal portion sizes or feeling full after only consuming a small amount of food.

 

Unexplained weight loss: Losing weight without trying or without a clear reason.

 

Changes in bowel habits: Experiencing constipation, diarrhea, or other changes in bowel habits that last more than a few weeks.

 

Frequent urination: Needing to urinate more often than usual or feeling an urgent need to urinate.

 

Fatigue: Persistent tiredness or lack of energy.

 

It is important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by other, less serious conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome, urinary tract infections, or hormonal imbalances. However, if you experience any of these symptoms persistently or they worsen over time, it is essential to consult an ovarian cancer surgeon for further evaluation.
