If you pay attention to your body and notice any of these six silent symptoms, you could save your own life.

Ovarian ca-nc-er has no current screening process, which means that you’ll usually know that you have it when it has spread to other areas of the body and the symptoms are hard to ignore.

The c-anc-er occurs in your ovaries, on either side of the womb, close to the fallopian tubes, or it can begin in a layer of tissue called the peritoneum, which supports the ovaries.

If c-ancer is found there, you’ll start treatment, which can be surgical, chemotherapy or targeted therapies to make sure that you’re can-cer free.

But first, it’s necessary to recognise the symptoms to be able to seek help.

Abdominal bloating

As per the National Library of Medicine, bloating is the second most commonly reported symptom that people notice before a c-anc-er diagnosis.

This could be bloating before or after eating, or particularly when you’re on your period.

It also can lead to a buildup of fluid buildup inside the belly as the cancer begins to spread.

Pelvic or stomach pain and other feelings

If you feel cramping, pressure, or pain in your pelvis or abdominals, you may need to call your GP.

Some believe it feels like menstrual cramps, but others feel like it’s a different sensation all together.

So, if you notice it at all, it’s safer to get checked.
