What are the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer?

Ovarian cancer may cause one or more of these signs and symptoms:

  • Vaginal bleeding (particularly if you are past menopause) or discharge from your vagina that is not normal for you.
  • Pain or pressure in the pelvic or abdominal area (the area below your stomach and in between your hip bones).
  • Back pain.
  • Bloating, which is when the area below your stomach swells or feels full.
  • Feeling full quickly while eating.
  • A change in your bathroom habits, such as having to pass urine very badly or very often, constipation, or diarrhea.

 

Pay attention to your body, and know what is normal for you. If you have vaginal bleeding that is not normal for you, see a doctor right away. If you have any of the other signs for two weeks or longer, see a doctor. These symptoms may be caused by something other than cancer, but the only way to know is to see your doctor. Treatment is most effective when ovarian cancer is found and treated early
