This symptom web page is dedicated to my dear friend Jeannie Sue who was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer December 2004. She is currectly undergoing treatment.

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 conditions. It is very important to check with a doctor about any of these symptoms. Do not hesitate as early detection is VERY important!
