Ovarian cancer affects 7,400 women in the UK annually, with early detection occurring in just one in five cases. There’s no screening for the disease, so symptoms often go unnoticed until it has spread. The cancer occurs in the ovaries or the peritoneum, near the fallopian tubes. Key symptoms include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling unusually full, urinary changes (like frequent urination or urgency), abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, and bowel changes (constipation or diarrhea). Other signs may include back pain, fatigue, weight changes, and painful sex. Recognizing even one of these symptoms early and seeking help can lead to better treatment outcomes, such as surgery, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies.
