Ovarian Cancer Is Very Treatable if Caught Early, Doctor Says. Know the Symptoms
Doctors have identified specific symptoms such as bloating and early satiety to improve early ovarian cancer detection and treatment, especially in women aged late 40s to mid-60s.
- At Mercy Medical Center, Dr. Khulpateea says ovarian cancer is highly treatable if caught early, emphasizing the importance of recognizing symptoms.
- Previously, ovarian cancer was assumed symptomless, but doctors now say there are red-flag symptoms to watch out for, Dr. Khulpateea explains.
- Symptoms such as bloating, pelvic pain, changes in bathroom habits, back pain, appetite or menstrual changes, and pain during sex, Dr. Khulpateea says, affect women between their late 40s to mid-60s.
- Taking notes on symptoms can help women mention them to their doctor, Dr. Khulpateea advises, especially for persistent signs like early satiety.
- One of the ones that's more specific is early satiety, Dr. Khulpateea says, noting it can overlap with reflux symptoms in older adults.
