Only 19 percent of women who discover they have ovarian cancer are diagnosed in the early stages. Diagnosing ovarian cancer can be more difficult because there are no routine tests to effectively screen for the disease. That's why all women should consult their physician if they experience any of the following signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.
1. Changes in appetite
2. Menstrual changes
3. Abdominal bloating or increasing size
4. Pelvic discomfort
5. Frequent urination
6. Fatigue or low energy
7. Unintentional weight loss
8. Gastrointestinal disturbances
9. Leg swelling
