Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Ovarian Cancer PreventionOvarian cancer is almost completely curable in its earliest stages, but because it has few early symptoms and there is no screening test that is 100 percent accurate, early diagnosis can be difficult. To help identify problems when they first start, women should talk with their physician if the following symptoms are persistent, even if they seem trivial: General abdominal discomfort or pain (gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating, cramps) Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or frequent urination Loss of appetite Feeling of fullness or abdominal swelling after a light meal Weight gain or loss with no known reason Abnormal bleeding from the vagina Pelvic pressure (a feeling that one needs to urinate or defecate all the time) Constant back or leg pain A pelvic exam and an ultrasound can determine whether the ovaries require further evaluation.
