What are the Symptoms of the 14 Most Common Cancers?

11. Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer is another condition that affects women -- specifically the ovaries in the lower abdomen. Unfortunately, ovarian cancer signs and symptoms are similar to premenstrual syndrome, making it difficult to detect. Women with ovarian cancer experience bloating, abdominal pain, increased abdominal girth, trouble eating, lack of satiation, and a frequent, urgent need to urinate. More severe symptoms include fatigue, heartburn, stomach aches, back pain, pain during sex, constipation, and changes in the menstrual cycle.
