March Is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in Kent and Medway. The Main symptoms are:

persistent bloating or a swollen tummy
reduced appetite or feeling full quickly after eating
pain or tenderness in your tummy or pelvis (the area between the hips)
urinary symptoms (needing to wee more urgently or more often).
These will be:

frequent - they will usually happen more than 12 times per month
persistent - they don’t go away
new - they’re not normal for you.
There are many other (non-cancer) causes for these symptoms but if you are concerned, it’s best to get them checked out.

Finding ovarian cancer early can mean it’s more treatable.

Have the conversation. Contact your GP practice.
