Early Warning Signs of Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer is often missed in the early stages because the warning signs are not always obvious. Some of these early signs include:

• Lack of appetite and trouble eating
• Becoming abnormally full after eating
• Abdominal pain, pressure, and bloating
• Urinating more frequently

There are several other symptoms that may indicate the presence of ovarian cancer, including:

• Indigestion and heartburn
• Constipation
• Fatigue
• Differences in menstrual cycles
• Back pain
• Intercourse becomes painful
• Dermatomyositis - an inflammatory disease characterized by skin rash, inflamed muscles, and muscle weakness

What Should I Do If I Think I Have Ovarian Cancer?

Cancer is treated most effectively when it's diagnosed early. If you're concerned that you may have ovarian cancer caused by Zantac, you should see a doctor immediately.

Regular women's health exams can also help detect ovarian cancer and other cancers as soon as possible.

If you've used Zantac in the past, these exams are even more important, as Zantac users may be at a higher risk of developing cancer.
