Ovarian cancer - the cancer of ovaries has been known as
a ‘silent killer' in the past because it's hard to diagnose. Its symptoms are:
- Persistent tummy or pelvic pain
- Increased tummy size or persistent bloating – not bloating that comes and goes
- Difficulty eating and feeling full quickly
- The need to wee more frequently
- Changes in bowel habit
- Extreme fatigue or pain
If you have these symptoms more than 12 times in a month, you should seriously consider going to see your doctor.
According to the American Cancer Society about 1 in 75
women will get ovarian cancer in her lifetime, but young women are rarely
affected. The risk escalates starting at age 63
