Once you experience the symptoms of ovarian cancer, it's already in the advanced stage?

Not necessarily.: It is true that ovarian cancer can frequently progress significantly before any symptoms are experienced. However, a significant proportion of patients can feel abdominal fullness/bloating, urinary urgency, and/or abdominal pain. One difficulty in using these symptoms to diagnose ovarian cancer is that they are not very specific to this disease.

Usually: Ovarian cancer is known as a silent killer because it does not give any warning signs. Some of the vague symptoms include bloating, change in bowel habits and getting full quickly. It is a rare event when ovarian cancer causes pain and is found early. However, saying that, there are many things that can give these vague symptoms that are not ovarian cancer.
