?€?New?€? Ovarian Cancer Symptoms:
If you aren?€™t aware of it, ovarian cancer can have many early symptoms that are frequently brushed off or ignored by many women as well as their more traditional doctors.
I have been aware of this information for more than a decade, but it was recently released in a news item which I will include in its entirety. If you are a patient of mine please let me know if you are having these symptoms so that in addition to seeing a gynecologist (as recommended in the article) I can do my type of diagnosis and recommend possible appropriate tests such as ultrasound and blood tests. In addition to ovarian cancer, these symptoms can also be caused by digestive imbalances, allergies, and toxicities to name a few. As always, finding the right cause allows for the appropriate treatment. And the sooner, the better.

Ovarian Cancer Symptoms Listed
?€?Cancer experts have identified a set of health problems that may be symptoms of ovarian cancer, and they are urging women who have the symptoms for more than a few weeks to see their doctors.
The new advice is the first official recognition that the disease, long thought to give no warning until it was far advanced, does cause symptoms at earlier stages in many women.
The symptoms to watch out for are bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, and feeling a frequent or urgent need to urinate. A woman who has any of those problems nearly every day for more than two or three weeks is advised to see a gynecologist, especially if the symptoms are new and different from her usual state of health.?€?
