Not specific: Early ovarian cancer may cause abdominal discomfort, constipation or diarrhea, bloating, gas, indigestion, fatigue, or back pain. These symptoms are common with other medical problems, which is why ovarian cancer is often not diagnosed at an early stage.

Unfortunately none: Early ovarian cancer usually has no specific symptoms in early stages. Most patients later found to have ovarian cancer had vague abdominal discomfort like bloating. There are no suitable blood tests either for early detection.
