Accepted Answer

Variable: Abdominal distension, abdominal pain pain and bloating are the most common symptoms.

Question 3

would ovarian cancer symptoms come out of nowhere and come and go im very anxious worried about my gassy stomach and other things?

Accepted Answer

: Ovarian cancer symptoms are very nonspecific and variable and tend not to appear until late in the disease. With your reported symptoms it is appropriate to rule that out, which can be readily accomplished with a visit to your gynecologist and a transvaginal ultrasound exam.

Question 4

what are ovarian cancer symptoms?

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, intestinal obstruction, or shortness of breath can happen in those cases.  If you have a strong family history of cancer (any kind) please discuss risk reduction methods with an expert in cancer genetics.

Discuss with doctor: There are lots of treatment options you can discuss with your doctor. Lysteda is a nonhormone medication designed for heavy periods.

Question 8

i have a dull pain in around my right groin and at my right knee is this pain a sign of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Those are unlikely symptoms of ovarian cancer.  Make sure you see your ob/gyn regularly and discuss your concerns with your doctor.

Question 9

finished chemo for stage iiia ovarian cancer in oct 2013.  ca125 was 8 6wks ago and 20 now have large right groin node.  is the ca125 jump a lot?  can incisional hernia cause lymph node to swell?

Accepted Answer

Seek medical exam: Your oncologist needs to know about this groin node if you have not yet told him.Since your ca 125 is still in the normal range, i would not draw any conclusions but your doctor needs to examine you and guide you. It is best not to follow your disease with ca125 right now as it will likely have such fluctuatiosns, causing you to be nervous and anxious, yet it does not help in making treatment decis.

Question 10

blue veins on pelvis sign of ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Usually not.: Although a pelvic or abdominal tumor can lead to an increase in pelvic veins seen on the skin, there are more frequent causes such as malfunctioning (refluxing) valves in the saphenous system or even in the ovarian veins (pelvic congestion syndrome).A ct of the abdomen and pelvis as well as a leg venous ultrasound will help to make the diagnosis. See a vein specialist.
