Some patients do: Without knowing anything about the case, one possibility is scar tissue from surgery. Some patients have extensive "debulking" surgery if the ovarian cancer has spread, and this can leave them with "slow" function of the bowel and bladder. I have seen constipation so bad it leads to a bowel obstruction in some cases. Good luck and hope this helps.

Ovarian cancer: The four most common symptoms of early ovarian cancer are pain, bloating, feeling full when trying to eat (satiety), and urinary changes. Constipation is seen leas frequently at presentation but it can be a sign. If these symptoms last more than 2 weeks see your gynecologist.
