Can a young person get ovarian cancer?

have side pains where my ovaries would be, and back pain, well...i was reading about ovarian cancer and i read that most women with ovarian cancer have these symptons:

Bloating
Pelvic or abdominal pain
Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency)
fatigue,
indigestion,
back pain,
pain with intercourse,
constipation
menstrual irregularities

I have all of these symptoms, ALL of them.

I went to the doctors im gonna get an ultrasound. I'm 18, which is a little too young for ovarian cancer plus no family member has had it. So whatre my chances of having it?Does it sound like i COULD have it?

Well sorry sweetie but yes anything is possible at any age now a days. Please get checked out and I hope you'll be ok. I really cherish you as a Yahoo Answer friend. Best wishes...

Yeah, i have most of those symptoms too. Don't worry about it as most of those symptoms can be related to other things, for example anxiety. You are doing the right thing by having it checked out anyway. Most of the time it is not as bad as you think.

Huh... I have most of those symptoms, lol... Maybe I should be worried?

These symptoms are very broad and can mean a number of other illnesses/ problems. It isn't necessarily cancer. However, any one can get cancer at any age!! My friend had ovarian cancer when she was 19-20. There is no age limit.
