Is severe cramping a sign of ovarian cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

most of the time: In the initial stages ovarian cancers will not have any symptoms, rare occasions possible to have ' severe craping ' but this is not usual presenting symptoms .Regular examination by your gynecologist is important for early diagnosis.
