Ovarian Cancer

In many cases, ovarian cancer has no specific symptoms until its later stages. Symptoms of ovarian cancer may often be mild and include any of the following:

• Abdominal discomfort and/or pain
• Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or frequent urination
• Loss of appetite
• A feeling of fullness after eating a light meal
• Unexplained weight gain or loss
• Abnormal vaginal bleeding

However, many of these symptoms can be caused by less serious conditions, so it is important for a woman to bring them to the attention of her doctor.
