Who is at risk for ovarian cancer?

The exact causes of ovarian cancer are not known. However, studies show that the following factors may increase the chance of developing this disease:

*Family history. First-degree relatives (mother, daughter, sister) of a woman who has had ovarian cancer are at increased risk of developing this type of cancer themselves. The likelihood is especially high if two or more first-degree relatives have had the disease. The risk is somewhat less, but still above average, if other relatives (grandmother, aunt, cousin) have had ovarian cancer. A family history of breast or colon cancer is also associated with an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer.

*Age. The likelihood of developing ovarian cancer increases as a woman gets older. Most ovarian cancers occur in women over the age of 50, with the highest risk in women over 60.

*Childbearing. Women who have never had children are more likely to develop ovarian cancer than women who have had children. In fact, the more children a woman has had, the less likely she is to develop ovarian cancer.

*Personal history. Women who have had breast or colon cancer may have a greater chance of developing ovarian cancer than women who have not had breast or colon cancer.


Recognizing ovarian cancer symptoms-
Ovarian cancer often shows no obvious signs or symptoms until late in its development. Signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer may include:

-General abdominal discomfort and/or pain (gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating, cramps)
-Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or frequent urination
-Loss of appetite
-Feeling of fullness even after a light meal
-Weight gain or loss with no known reason
-Abnormal bleeding from the vagina

I would say chnage ur doctor. take all the tests required. Get a doctore who is fix the problems for u and find out what it is. Questions. Do u get ireegular periods or it is just the pain? Get ur liver checked also and kidneys Report It

Seriously need to go to the doctor, only he/she can help you

To be honest it sounds like something with your kidneys. I would be persistant with your doc. If he/she doesnt come up with anything and you are not convinced, get a second opinion!!

I would go to a Dr. again. That is not normal. I had the same symptoms and I had a cyst on my ovaries. It was small thank God, but they put my on medication for it and it went away. I have had 2 and I am only 25. I had them in my late teens. I would def go to a gyno.

I suggest that you see another gynecologist or ask to be re-checked. I can tell you of a similar experience I had. I had the same symptoms that you have (but not for as long). My pap and pelvic came back just fine as well, but my symptoms continued. After 3 months I decided to get a second opinion, and once again everything came back normal with the pap and pelvic, but the ultrasound was a different story. I had a small lump in my right fallopian tube. It turned out to be an infection that did not show on either pap smear. After a round of antibiotics, it went away, and so did my symptoms. My gynecologist said that these types of infections can sometimes flare up and then go back down so that they may not show on an ultrasound unless the infection is really bad. Maybe, you have something like this. I know the ovarian cancer thing can really lurk around in the mind so despite the fact that you know you have SOMETHING that needs attention, you need to ease your worry. It is a really good sign that your pap came back normal. If you haven't had blood work, I would suggest that you have your gynecologist give you a full work-up as that can also point to problems. Keep at your doctor until you get a diagnosis that makes sense and you get some relief!
