A member asked:

Difference between ibs symptoms and ovarian cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get seen: If you are concerned that you have primary or recurrent ovarian cancer, don't try to match symptoms. Physical exam and imaging will be required to know. The initial symptoms of both diseases that you list are famously often vague.
