Potential Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer Part 4

The last thing to watch for is pressure or pain. Sometimes this is very subtle, but if you are experiencing any kind of discomfort in the stomach or pelvic areas, you should be checked out. Especially if you have any of the other symptoms I've talked about over the last 4 days.

While these symptoms can relate to many problems which are easily treatable, discovering ovarian cancer early is essential in terms of optimal treatment.

If you're not sure, see you health care provider and let them evaluate what is going on.

The third thing to watch for is a sense of urinary urgency. Now this is also related to a urinary tract infection, so it is definitely something to get checked out. As we age, women have less of the traditional signs and symptoms of a urinary tract infection as they did at younger ages.

If you don't have a urinary tract infection, someone needs to be checking for why you are feeling the urinary urgency. An ovarian tumor as it grows puts pressure on the bladder and causes that sense of urgency.

The next symptom to watch for is similar to bloating, but is really an unusual feeling of fullness. This usually occurs during meals that you have a sense of feeling full faster than usual.

Be aware of this and get it checked out.

Sometimes I think I need to make you aware of subtle symptoms that may indicate that you have a problem. Over the next few days I'll be giving you some symptoms that you should be aware of and see medical attention should they occur.

First of all is bloating. It is easy to write this off to something you ate, but if it happens more often than not, get checked for an ovarian problem. Fluid from ovarian tumors can start to build and a sensation of bloating occurs. Many women can write this off to a few pounds of weight gain, but listen to what your body is saying and get it checked out.
