Ovarian Cancer
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Detecting persistent discomfort in the abdomen or pelvis in time can be key, since vague symptoms sometimes accompany ovarian cancer and should not be overlooked.
Ovarian cancer is the development of malignant cells in the ovaries, the female organs that produce eggs and hormones, and in the early stages it usually causes few manifestations.
Symptoms worth monitoring: Abdominal bloating, a feeling of early fullness when eating, pelvic pain, and changes in urinary or bowel habits.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologic oncologist and the medical oncologist study these cases. When there is abdominal or pelvic discomfort that persists without explanation, it is advisable to discuss it with a professional for a careful evaluation.
