Recognizing the 10 Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer

3. Loss of Appetite

Loss of appetite can be an early symptom of ovarian cancer. Like many other symptoms, however, it is difficult to make the connection between the two initially. If a woman finds herself regularly skipping meals or being unable to finish favorite dishes, this could be an early sign of a medical issue. Early warning signs may include feeling full quickly when eating a meal and sensations of being unusually full or bloated afterward. Other conditions can cause these symptoms, but it's important to have them evaluated if they're persistent or of recent onset.
