Photo Release
From the Ovarian Cancer
Research Fund - September
· Symptoms of ovarian cancer
can be vague and not always gynecologic, such as:
· A swollen or bloated abdomen
or increased girth
· Persistent pressure or pain
in the abdomen or pelvis
· Difficulty eating or feeling
full quickly
· Urinary concerns, such as
urgency or frequency
· Change in bowel habits with
constipation and/or diarrhea
· Women may have symptoms for reasons not
related to ovarian cancer. But if these symptoms are new and unusual, and
persist for more than two weeks, you
should see a
doctor. Each
year 200,000 women worldwide are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and 125,000
women die from this disease. The earlier the diagnosis, the better the
prognosis.
