Expert Opinion
“Ovarian cancer can sometimes begin with subtle symptoms that may easily be mistaken for common digestive or menstrual problems. Persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling full quickly, changes in bowel or urinary habits, and unusual vaginal bleeding should not be ignored, particularly when they are new or persistent. While these symptoms can have several non-cancerous causes, seeking timely medical evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and, when necessary, facilitate early diagnosis and treatment.”
