Early Ovarian Cancer Signs Every Woman Should Know

Abdominal bloating or pain

Cancer of the ovary results in a tumor that grows within the lower abdominal cavity. As the mass enlarges, it begins to impinge on the space of other vital organs in the surrounding areas. The first structures affected include the bowels, bladder, and the uterus. In the early stages, a patient may start noticing a little bloating or fullness in their pelvic area. If the tumor is permitted to get bigger, it may even begin to cause some pain.
