Feedback:
Symptoms that are believed to have a strong correlation to ovarian cancer include abdominal pain, increased abdominal size or bloating, and difficulty in eating or feeling full quickly after ingesting food. Pain and bleeding after intercourse are usually associated with an inflammatory process. Colicky low abdominal pain and adnexal mass are associated with cancer of the fallopian tube. Localized abdominal pain to one side with referred shoulder pain is common in ectopic pregnancy.
