Some of the symptoms also resemble to the normal menstrual cycle of women which makes it very much difficult to diagnose the disease. This cancer, like any other, needs to be diagnosed at an earlier stage so that its treatment can be more efficient and effective. The ovarian cancer is mostly diagnosed in women after the age of thirty and after menopause. Every year 100,000 women die of ovarian cancer. Cervical smear tests are sometime mistaken to have the capability to detect ovarian cancer. In fact, it detects cervical cancer in women. Some of the symptoms or signs of ovarian cancer are: frequent abdominal pains, swelling or bloating of the stomach, loss of hunger, more frequent urination or related problems, diarrhea or constipation, feeling tired all the time, Pains in back or neck, loss in weight. Most women think that the symptoms like abdominal pain and bloated stomach are a part of their period.

A late diagnosis results in a more intense situation than it should have been. The success rate may also be lower than and the disease can turn out to be rather fatal. Sometimes, ovarian cancer in women can be hereditary. The doctor should know about it if you have two or more than two members of your family that have suffered from either breath cancer or ovarian cancer. Mostly, the younger women don't think of these symptoms to be a matter of concern since they think that it is a part of normal menstrual cycle and that a cancer can only be diagnosed in older women. Another reason is that they have never been told about the symptoms of ovarian cancer in women. There are still many illiterate women in the third world countries that never get a chance to get even basic education.

If you have observed any symptom of the above even then consult a doctor because it is not necessary to have all these symptoms at a time. If the symptoms get worse than before then you need to ask your health professional to conduct tests again. This is a serious disease and you cannot afford to be careless at all. Cancer of any kind needs to be detected at an earlier stage so that your life or a life of your family member can be saved. You should spread awareness about it in the third world countries.
