Can urinary frequency/urgency or constipation be a sign of ovarian cancer?

Noticing changes in your bathroom habits? Urinary frequency, urgency, or constipation can have many causes, but when these changes are new, persistent, or different from your normal, they're worth paying attention to. Ovarian cancer can sometimes cause pressure on the bladder or bowel, leading to a more frequent or urgent need to urinate, difficulty emptying your bladder, or changes in bowel habits such as constipation.

These symptoms are easy to dismiss because they can be caused by many common conditions. What matters is recognizing a pattern that feels like a "new normal." If changes in your bathroom habits persist for two weeks or longer, talk with your healthcare provider and get checked.

Plant Bingo was a huge success! 🌿 🌱 🪴

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Ann Harris Smith Foundation and SEADS Garden Center at Laurel Toyota! We had an amazing turnout and are so grateful to everyone who spent the evening with us, played some bingo, and helped make the event so special.

We hope everyone had a great time while also learning more about the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. Events like this give us an incredible opportunity to bring people together, raise awareness, and encourage important conversations about women’s health. 🩵

Can your eating habits like loss of appetite or feeling full quickly be a sign of ovarian cancer?

Feeling full all the time or experiencing a change in appetite?
Changes in the way you eat can be symptoms of ovarian cancer.
Some women may feel unusually full after eating only a small amount, making it difficult to finish a meal even when they felt hungry beforehand. Persistent indigestion, nausea, or vomiting may also occur and can be associated with ovarian or other gynecologic cancers. While these symptoms can have many causes, it's important to pay attention when they happen more often than usual or feel different from your normal.

Body changes that become a "new normal" are worth noticing Having one or more of these symptoms does not mean you have cancer. But if they persist for two weeks or longer, talk with your healthcare provider and get checked.

Can bloating or an uncomfortable feeling of fullness be a sign of ovarian cancer?

It's normal to experience occasional bloating, especially after eating certain foods or around your menstrual period. But persistent bloating that doesn't go away can be a common symptom of ovarian cancer.

Bloating associated with ovarian cancer may cause visible swelling in the abdomen. Your belly may feel unusually full, puffy, or firm. Other symptoms, such as unexplained weight loss, may also occur.
Pay attention to changes in your body that feel different from your normal. If something feels like a "new normal" and doesn't go away, talk to your healthcare provider.

Ovarian cancer can be treatable when detected early, but its symptoms can be vague, subtle, and easily mistaken for something else. There is no routine screening test for ovarian cancer, making it especially important for women to know the signs and pay attention to changes in their bodies. Early detection starts with awareness. Know the symptoms, trust your instincts, and talk to your doctor.

Understanding your family's health history can help you and your doctor better understand your risk for ovarian and other gynecological cancers. Talk with your doctor about any family history of cancer and whether genetic counseling or testing may be appropriate for you. Some inherited genetic changes can increase the risk of ovarian cancer as well as other cancers, including breast cancer. Knowing your family history is an important step toward taking control of your health.
