Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor (cancer) that grows in a woman's ovaries. There can be minimal or very generalized symptoms such as bloating or abdominal discomfort or the sensation of being full very early after eating. Ovarian cancer is sometimes related to a family history of ovarian cancer or a hereditary condition such as being BRCA positive. It is more common in women who have never been pregnant and in older women. Workup is with biopsy, scans, lab tests such as "CA125" and genetic testing.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
A gynecologist or gynecologist-oncologist typically confirms the diagnosis with a biopsy. The treatment plan depends on factors such as the subtype and extent of the disease. The primary treatment option for many women is complicated surgery in which the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes are removed as well as lymph nodes and the abdominal lining (called the "omentum"). After surgery, many women are also treated with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted drugs depending on the cancer cells characteristics.

This symptom checker site is a great resource to either get an idea of what is happening inside your body or even get a second opinion without incurring another huge bill. It also provides a way to connect with a professional if needed. I really enjoy this site.

I liked it better than Mayo. It lets you give more in-depth information about the symptoms you have.

I always like coming to Ubie when I have a multi-symptom problem. I have a hard time recognizing symptoms sometimes, and Ubie asks questions that help include them.

Ubie symptom checker hit the spot right away. While answering the simple questions, I'm impressed with how there are multiples to choose from, and most of them relate to what you are looking for to get a diagnosis. This app has treated me multiple times—an A++++.
