Symptom 7. Feeling Full Quickly or Difficulty Eating
Ovarian cancer can also cause a feeling of fullness after eating only a small amount of food or difficulty eating altogether. This symptom may occur due to the tumor pressing on the stomach or intestines, which can limit the amount of food you can comfortably consume. If you consistently feel full quickly or have trouble eating, it’s important to consult your doctor.
Feeling full quickly or having difficulty eating can also result from various other factors, such as gastrointestinal issues or changes in appetite. However, if these symptoms persist and cannot be attributed to other causes, it’s important to consider the possibility of ovarian cancer and seek medical evaluation.
When discussing these symptoms with your doctor, provide information on the onset, severity, and duration of the symptoms. Be sure to mention any additional symptoms you may be experiencing, such as abdominal pain or bloating. This information will help your healthcare provider determine the best course of action for diagnosis and treatment.
