Question 1

is a shallow cough a symptom of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: A shallow cough has many more likely causes than ovarian cancer.  The most common symptom of ovarian cancer is increased abdominal fullness, and unfortunately it is a late sign.

Question 2

i was wondering are headaches a symptom of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not specifically: Ovarian cancer has non-specific symptoms and headaches may be present, however, headaches are so common that this symptom alone does not trigger a search for ovarian cancer. See this site for more info on ovarian cancers.

Question 3

hoping you can tell me, is shallow cough a possible symptom of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not very likely: Cough is rarely the only symptom of ovarian cancer. Most patients will have symptoms of bloating and swelling of the abdomen. Only in late stages can the cancer go to the lungs where it can cause cough and shortness of breath.

Question 4

just curious as to whether a shallow cough, is a possible symptom of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Most symptoms of ovarian cancer are abdominal in nature.  Cough would be very unusual in the absence of anything else.

Question 5

symptom of ovarian cancer is enlarged ovary is that do to masses or can cancer just xause ovary to enlarge?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian CA: Your ovaries are made up of a number of different tissues, all of which can become cancer. Each type will or can cause a mass. Mass being a lump of tissue.  Of course normal ovarian tissue can do the same thing.  Usually additional imaging with an ultra sound can help distinguish the actual make up of the"mass".  A normal ovary is not a static organ...Cysts form, eggs are released etc.

Question 6

help please! is aching ovaries a symptom of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: There are few symptoms of ovarian cancer which accounts for why it is rarely diagnosed at an early stage.  The known symptoms are bloating, pelvic or back pain, feeling full quickly when eating, changes in bowel and bladder function and new unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge.

Question 7

are night sweats a symptom of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Although night sweats can be associated with malignancy (such as lymphomas) it is less likely to be directly associated with ovarian cancer. A better scenario could be that you are having these symptoms due to fluctuations in your hormone levels. I would recommend that you speak with your gyn and under go hormonal level testing if it is deemed appropriate.

Question 8

can chronic vomiting be a symptom of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Possible: If you are vomiting due to ovarian cancer, you are likely to have other symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, abdominal enlargement, etc.  Vomiting alone without any other symptoms is not likely due to ovarian cancer.

Question 9

is intermittent bloating(i.e no bloating upon waking and bloated by evening) symptom of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Probably more of a digestion issue but as always reccomend follow up with your doctor for evaluation.

Question 10

is one sided pelvic pain symptom of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not specific: Most women with epithelial ovarian cancer have pelvic or abdominal symptoms prior to their diagnosis.
The symptoms that are most commonly reported by study subjects include abdominal pain/discomfort and abdominal swelling/bloating. These symptoms can be attributed to many different conditions. It appears that they are more common, recur more frequently, and more severe in pts prior to DX of ov ca.
