Symptoms of ovarian cancer?


I am having some symptoms, and worried it might be ovarian cancer. Anyone with knowledge, please help. Symptoms include, bloated feeling in lower stomach, pain on left and right lower sides, constipation at times, diarhea at times, pain when i have bowel movements, increased tiredness. I have no insurance, thats why I haven't been to the doctor yet. Any help greatly appreciated. Also my age is 31 and I have 2 children, and my mother had breast and bone cancer at age of 40.

Honestly, get the insurance and go see the doctor. Ovarian's tricky, from what I've heard, like it can sneak up on ya. So seriously, just go see the doctor, talk to them about the health insurance factor, see if there's a way to get you tested. Good luck!

Hi,
Do Not worry you are a young lady of 31 years. The Ovarian cancer is usually occurs in women older than 50 years even than following are the symptoms of overian cancer.

The symptoms of ovarian cancer are often not manifested early in the disease. They may also be so vague in the earlier stages, that they can easily be ignored. Some of the common symptoms are:
Stomach ache and abdominal discomfort accompanied by a feeling of bloatedness or fullness of the stomach.

Abnormal vaginal bleeding (with link to write up).

Sudden weight gain or weight loss without any apparent reason.

Loss of appetite.

Nausea, vomiting, constipation and frequent urination in some cases.

Ovarian cancer is cancer of the ovaries, the eggreleasing and hormone-producing organs of the female reproductive tract. Cancerous, or malignant, cells divide and multiply in an abnormal fashion.

Causes and Symptoms
Causes

The actual cause of ovarian cancer remains unknown, but several factors are known to increase one's chances of developing the disease. These are called risk factors. Women at a higher risk than average of developing ovarian cancer include women who:

- have never been pregnant or had children
- are Caucasian, especially of Northern European or Askenazi Jewish descent
- are over 50. Half of all diagnosed cases are in women over 65.
- have a family history of breast, ovarian, endometrial (uterine), prostate or colon cancer
- have had breast cancer
- have a first-degree relative (mother, daughter, sister) who has had ovarian cancer. (The risk is greater if two or more first-degree relatives had the disease. Having a grandmother, aunt or cousin with ovarian cancer also puts a woman at higher-than-average risk.)
- have the genetic mutation BRCA1 or BRCA2. (Not all women with these genetic breast cancer mutations will develop ovarian cancer. By age 70, a woman who has the BRCA1 mutation carries about a 40鈥?0% risk of developing ovarian cancer. Women with the genetic mutation BRCA2 have a 15% increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. However, heredity only plays a role in about 5鈥?0% of cases of ovarian cancer.) Women who have a strong familial history may benefit from genetic counseling to better understand their risk factors.

In addition to the above risk factors, the following factors appear to play a role in affecting a women's chances of developing ovarian cancer.

Please do not neglect. Consult an oncologist and ensure you do not hae any problem. If anything is found you should have treatments immediately as CANCER IS STILL AN ENIGMA-

there maybe a great possibility that u have ovarian tumors, especially that ur family history is very suggestive to that, but there is also a chance that ur clear and u have nothing, don't worry till u see a doctor,and i wish u the best.....
