What Are the Silent Signs of Ovarian Cancer?
The early stages of any type of cancer frequently do not show symptoms. And by the time it is discovered, cancer may have spread in the body. Worldwide, ovarian cancer is responsible for the deaths of more women than any other female reproductive system malignancy.
Some of the silent signs of ovarian cancer women suffer from include:
Abdominal Bloating
Bloating is an unpleasant feeling of fullness in the stomach that is a common experience for every woman. It may be normal to feel bloated especially on red days; however, persistent bloating that takes weeks to subside is not.
One of the most prevalent early indicators of ovarian cancer is a bloated feeling alongside visible swelling in the stomach (abdominal distension).
Menstrual Irregularities
According to the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, an abrupt shift in your menstrual cycle or bleeding between periods can be caused by a variety of factors. It may cause a serious problem when it shows as a sign with other known symptoms.
