Ovarian Cancer Whispers - so listen carefully . . .

Watch for Pelvic or abdominal pain or discomfort;
vague but persistent gastrointestinal upsets such as gas, nausea, and indigestion
frequency and/or urgency of urination in the absence of an infection;
unexplained weight gain or weight loss
pelvic and/or abdominal swelling, bloating and/or feeling of fullness;
ongoing unusual fatigue;
unexplained changes in bowel habits.

If symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks, ask your doctor for a combination pelvic/rectal exam, CA-125 blood test, and trans-vaginal ultrasound.

A pap test WILL NOT detect ovarian cancer.
