Symptom 9. Back Pain
Back pain, particularly lower back pain, can be another symptom of ovarian cancer. This pain may be caused by the tumor’s growth, which can put pressure on nearby nerves or organs. If you experience persistent or worsening back pain without an apparent cause, it’s essential to consult your doctor.
It’s important to remember that back pain can result from various factors, such as muscle strain, poor posture, or other medical conditions. However, if your back pain persists and cannot be attributed to other causes, it’s important to consider the possibility of ovarian cancer and seek medical evaluation.
When discussing your back pain with your doctor, provide information on the onset, severity, and location of the pain. 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. (7)
