Question 4

Accepted Answer

Difficult: Early stage ovarian cancer is usually without symptoms. Advanced stage disease symptoms are nonspecific and difficult to seperate from abdominal symptoms. These symptoms include abdominal/pelvic pain, bloating, change in bowel habits, fatigue, and urinary issues. If you have a positive family history for either ovarian or breast cancer talk to your primary care about possible genetic testing.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Serious Health issue: The only way to know what's going on in your body is to know what is normal for your body and your age. Participate in the regular screening studies and visit with your md regularly. Visit the american cancer society web page to see what screening is recommended and what age to start.

Ascites: Ovarian cancer causes an acumulation of fluid inside your abdomen called ascites. This will sometimes make you feel like you are bloated or full in your tummy.

Question 7

can a colonoscopy show i have ovarian cancer immediately.

Accepted Answer

Colonoscopy does: not examine the female ovarian system.  It examines the colon (large intestine) and part of the small intestine called the cecum.  An endovaginal ultrasound or salpingoscopy would be the exam you want for ovarian cancer.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 8

i think i have ovarian cancer but i'm 17 & a hypochondriac, & i don't want waste our $ on me being wrong. it's just, its been a year&ive seen 3 drs?

Accepted Answer

Counselling: If three doctors have all confirmed that you do not have any GYN issues including but not limited to ovarian cancer, then you need to see a therapist to resolve the anxiety that is causing the hypochondriasis. The money spent at the counselor will be more advantageous to your overall health then continuing to see MD's.

Question 9

can i only have my appendix removed even if i have ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but why: Why are you pre-occupied with your appendix. Removing the appendix without a good reason is unwarranted. Do you have ovarian cancer?
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 10

my doc thinks i have ovarian cancer. who should do the surgery?

Accepted Answer

A GYN cancer surgeon: Typically ovarian cancer is treated by a ob-gyn doctor who has had extra training in cancer surgery.  The slang is gyn-onc.  I did my general surgery training at iu in indianapolis many years ago.  They should have doctors there who can help you thru their cancer center.
