D. BLOATING

Always feeling uncomfortably full for weeks is a sign of ovarian cancer. However, it can be a normal day-to-day experience, especially after taking gassy foods, or during one’s menstrual period. Persistent bloating, one that doesn’t go away, can be credited to ovarian cancer, which will cause visible swelling in the abdomen.

The bloating is usually caused by the build-up of ascites or fluids in the abdomen and is sometimes due to lymphatic system blockage caused by cancer. Especially when already paired with sudden weight loss, these symptoms should be cause for concern and should be talked over with your physician.
