Ovarian Cancer Warning Signs Dr. Gundry Wants YOU To Know!
Pelvic or abdominal pain or discomfort: This is the most common symptom, and it can be persistent or intermittent. It may feel like cramps, bloating, or a dull ache.
Persistent bloating: This is not the kind of bloating that comes and goes with your menstrual cycle. It’s a persistent feeling of fullness or swelling in your abdomen.
Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly: This is often accompanied by a loss of appetite.
Urinary urgency or frequency: This means you feel the need to urinate more often or urgently than usual.
Changes in bowel habits: This can include constipation, diarrhea, or a change in the consistency of your stool.
Fatigue: This is a feeling of tiredness that doesn’t go away with rest.
Back pain: This can be a dull ache in your lower back.
Changes in your menstrual cycle: This can include heavier bleeding, spotting between periods, or irregular bleeding.
Weight loss: This is often unexplained and can be a sign of advanced ovarian cancer.
It’s important to note that these symptoms can also be caused by other, less serious conditions. However, if you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to see your doctor to rule out ovarian cancer.
Early detection is key to successful treatment of ovarian cancer.
