Pain Around Periods
Irregular Bleeding
Ovarian cancer and cysts can also cause irregular bleeding during and between periods.
Pressure on the Pelvis
Just as ovarian issues can cause pain in the pelvis, it can also cause pressure without pain. If you're wondering why it feels a little funny in your lower abdomen, and it hasn't gone away after many days, weeks or months, you should get it checked out.
Pelvic Pain
Women diagnosed with ovarian cysts, masses or tumors, which can be cancerous, often report having had severe pelvic pain, according to the Cancer Centers of America.
Swelling in the Gut
Pressure or swelling in the abdominal area is also a frequent symptom, as is a fullness or heaviness in the stomach area.
Bigger Belly
Abdominal swelling frequently accompanies ovarian cancers. So, if you're feeling bloated or your pants have gotten tighter around the waist, and you don't think it has to do with a change in diet, it's a possible sign that you'll want to have checked out.
Fatigue
Tiring easily, never feeling fully rested or experiencing regular, crushing fatigue may be a clue that something isn't quite right. These are common experiences in women with ovarian cysts and cancer.
