OVARIAN CANCER: THE SYMPTOMS

The four main symptoms of ovarian cancer are:
• Persistent stomach pain
• Persistent bloating or increased stomach size
• Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
• Needing to urinate more frequently
The key features of the symptoms of ovarian cancer are:
• Their persistency- they don’ t go away
• Their frequency- they occur most days
• The symptoms are new- they started in the last 12 months
• The symptoms are unusual- they are not normal for you
