Question 2

what are some symptoms of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Bloating, fullness: Unfortunately, ovarian cancer often causes vague symptoms which are often mild so the patient is not brought to medical attention until the cancer is advanced. Some symptoms can include bloating, changes in urinary or bowel habits, a feeling of fullness, and increased abdominal size. These symptoms are often present daily.

Question 3

what are early symptoms of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

NONE: That is the reason to go for regular gyn visits. Abdominal symptoms appear in later stages unfortunately for detection of  early ovarian cancers  there is no blood test, only for late stages used  to see the progress of disease (ca 125 CEA etc )  only way to detect is regular gyn doctor visits, if needed sonogram, or laparoscopic examination.

Question 4

what are common symptoms of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cancer: The four most common symptoms of early ovarian cancer are pain, bloating, feeling full when trying to eat (satiety), and urinary changes.

Question 5

can you tell me the symptoms of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Usually vague: Symptoms are vague and ill defined especially for early stages.  However, some symptoms that may be associated with ovarian cancer include: bloating, increased abdominal size, urinary urgency or frequency, difficulty eating or feeling full, and abdominal or pelvic pain.  These symptoms do not mean that you have ovarian cancer but you should be evaluated by a doctor.

Question 6

what can be initial symptoms of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Non specific: Symptoms of ovarian cancer are not specific. They often mimic other common conditions. These may include: abdominal pressure, fullness, swelling or bloating, pelvic discomfort or pain, persistent indigestion, gas or nausea, changes in bowel habits, such as constipation, changes in bladder habits, including a frequent need to urinate, loss of appetite or quickly feeling full, and low back pain.

Question 7

what are all possible symptoms of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Many: Many symptoms are related to ovarian cancer and each person is different. Common symptoms are bloating and discomfort in your tummy, change in appetite, change in bms, sometimes abnormal bleeding.  Late symptoms are swelling in your tummy.

Question 8

please explain what are some symptoms of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

None at first: Sadly, there is no screening for ovarian cancer and by the time it causes symptoms, it is often advanced. Abdominal swelling, pain, or shortness of breath can happen in those cases.  If you have strong family history for breast or ovarian ca, ask your gyn about risk assessment and genetic counseling. If the risk is high enough, a woman may benefit of preventative surgery.

Question 9

what are the symptoms of ovarian cancer that show up early?

Accepted Answer

Not specific: Early ovarian cancer may cause abdominal discomfort, constipation or diarrhea, bloating, gas, indigestion, fatigue, or back pain. These symptoms are common with other medical problems, which is why ovarian cancer is often not diagnosed at an early stage.

Question 10

can you help? could symptoms of ovarian cancer come and go and get better sometimes?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Most symptoms of ovarian cancer are vague--bloating, early satiety, feeling of fullness.  Other symptoms include feeling "gassy" or changes in bladder or bowel symptoms.  Occasionally pain may also be present.  Symptoms which are new, are felt with increasing frequency or severity should be explored with your physician.
