What are the symptoms of epithelial ovarian cancer?

Epithelial ovarian cancer rarely causes symptoms in its early stage. Symptoms become more noticeable as the disease progresses. As it spreads into your peritoneum (tissue that covers your abdominal organs), fluid accumulates in your abdomen (ascites).

You may also experience:

  • Abdominal pain.
  • Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly.
  • Nausea and vomiting.
  • Bloating.
  • Pelvic pain.

Less common symptoms include:

  • Urgent need to urinate (urge incontinence) or frequent urination (overactive bladder).
  • Vaginal bleeding.
