Ovarian Cancer Whispers - so listen carefully........
Watch for Pelvic or abdominal pain or discomfort:
o vague but persistent gastrointestinal upsets such as gas, nausea, and indigestion;
o frequency and/or urgency of urination in the absence of an infection;
o unexplained weight gain or weight loss;
o pelvic and/or abdominal swelling, bloating and/or feeling of fullness;
o ongoing unusual fatigue;
o unexplained changes in bowel habits;
If symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks, ask your doctor for a combination pelvic/rectal exam, CA-125 blood test, and trans-vaginal ultrasound.
A pap test WILL NOT detect ovarian cancer.
