Ovarian cancer often shows no obvious signs or symptoms until late in its development. Signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer may include:
· General abdominal discomfort and/or pain (gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating, cramps)
· Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or frequent urination
· Loss of appetite
· Feeling of fullness even after a light meal
· Weight gain or loss with no known reason
· Abnormal bleeding from the vagina
These symptoms may be caused by ovarian cancer or by other, less serious conditions. It is important to check with a doctor about any of these symptoms.
