A member asked:
Are pain and bloating enough signs to get tested for ovarian cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends.: Pain and bloating can be signs of ovarian cancer, but they can be just from a painful period. Ovarian cancer would be more likely in older women, like 40+ years, and most likely in women 70+ years. Other tests, like pelvic exam, ca-125, and transvaginal ultrasound would be needed.
