Symptoms of ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is the most common cancer in women and causes more deaths than any other female reproductive cancers.

Symptoms of ovarian cancer may not be visible in the early stages of development, but because it develops, it will start making its presence known. Symptoms of ovarian cancer may include the following:

• Abdominal swelling
• Pain or pressure felt in the back, abdomen, legs and pelvic area
• Chronic Fatigue
• Nausea, bloating and indigestion

In addition to the above symptoms there is some other, less common signs such as shortness of breath and unusual bleeding from the vagina. These symptoms can occur even if a woman already in her menopause.

But the symptoms like I mentioned above, does not always mean that you already have ovarian cancer, you may experience symptoms of ovarian cysts. Only a doctor can make the right diagnosis. Therefore, it is important that you consult with your doctor if you experience these symptoms.
