What are the symptoms of ovarian cancer?

Ovarian cancer doesn’t always appear to cause symptoms when it first develops. However, the symptoms aren’t completely silent. Contact your OB-GYN or primary care physician if you or a loved one is experiencing…

  • Pain or pressure in the pelvic area.

  • Abnormal bleeding from the vagina.

  • Abdominal or back pain.

  • Bloating.

  • Difficulty eating or feeling full too quickly.

  • Frequent or urgent need to urinate.

  • Constipation or diarrhea.

  • Weight gain or loss with no known reason.

  • Feeling very tired all the time.

Ask your doctor if you should have a diagnostic test, like a recto-vaginal pelvic exam, a transvaginal ultrasound, or a CA-125 blood test to rule out ovarian cancer.
