Symptoms of ovarian cancer



Ovarian cancer may not cause any signs or symptoms in the early stages of the disease. Signs and symptoms usually appear when the tumor grows and causes changes in the body. Other medical conditions can cause the same symptoms as ovarian cancer.

The signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer include:

abnormal vaginal bleeding (e.g., abundant, irregular bleeding, or occurring between menstruation), especially after menopause
Frequent and clear vaginal discharge, white or tinged with blood
Palpable mass in the pelvis or abdomen
Bladder disorders, such as the need to urinate frequently and the urgent need to urinate

Constipation
Digestive changes, such as difficulty eating, a sensation of fullness after a light meal, heartburn, gas, difficulty in digestion or nausea
Frequent pressure sensation in the pelvis or abdomen
Fatigue
Pain in the legs, lower back, pelvis or abdomen
Pain during sex
Swelling of the abdomen
Weight loss
Accumulation of fluid in the abdomen (ascites), around the lungs (pleural effusion) or in the legs (lymphedema)
Difficulty breathing
