What Are The Symptoms Of Ovarian Cancer?

Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer among women. It is responsible for most cancer deaths in women, and is often referred to as the 'silent killer' since the symptoms don't show before the cancer has spread extensively. It is rarely ever diagnosed and treated before it gets out of control. There is no specific screening test for ovarian cancer, but a number of tests involving an examination and sometimes ultrasound of the pelvic area and blood tests are frequently used but none of these are not specifically effective for detecting ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer was not believed to have any characteristic symptoms at the early stage but recently the American Cancer Society released a statement about the most possible symptoms of ovarian cancer. These include bloating, abdominal and pelvic pain, frequent urination and feeling full without having eaten much. Although the symptoms are associated with certain other routine conditions in women such as pregnancy, menstruation and infections of the urinary tract, it is advisable to get a screening done whenever you feel any two of these symptoms at the same time. Hope this helps.

I have a cyst on my right ovary. Do you think this is a sign of ovarian cancer?

Back pain,breast soreness, abnormal periods.

What if you urine smells like pneumonia, is that a sign of cancer.

I have pretty much all of those symptoms but honestly it seems like half the symptoms if not all of them relate to several different health problems. It seems like I've had these symptoms for about a year,  when I go to the doctors they never seem to find out what is wrong with me,  are they testing for the wrong thing? Why cant they figure out whats wrong with me, what if its too late now and I have ovarian cancer.
