When should I be screened?

Women at average risk of ovarian cancer are not screened on a regular basis unless they show symptoms of ovarian cancer. However, signs of ovarian cancer may appear during routine exams, such as a pelvic exam.

Symptoms can include:

  • Abdominal bloating, increased girth, or pressure
  • Abdominal or pelvic pain
  • Fatigue
  • Gastrointestinal problems (nausea, gas, constipation, diarrhea)
  • Urinary frequency/incontinence
  • Unexplained weight loss/gain
  • Shortness of breath
