Ovarian Cancer Signs & Symptoms
There are a few signs and symptoms that can point to ovarian cancer. As the cancer develops and spreads, these symptoms may become more noticeable. Recognizing the potential signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer may lead to an earlier diagnosis, when it may be more easily treated. This can sometimes be difficult because some of these symptoms are similar to other more common health conditions. Therefore, it is very important to listen to your body and note anything unusual.
Symptoms are more likely to be linked to ovarian cancer if they are:
- New and began less than 1 year ago
- Occur frequently and are experienced more than 12 days per month
Most Common Symptoms:
- Bloating
- Pelvic/abdominal pain or pressure
- Trouble eating or feeling full quickly
- Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency)
Other Symptoms:
- Fatigue
- Upset stomach or heartburn
- Back pain
- Constipation
- Pain during vaginal sex
- Menstrual changes
These are not all the possible signs/symptoms of ovarian cancer, so it is important to talk to your healthcare professional if you notice anything unusual.
