6. Constipation
Changes in your bowel habits can mean a lot of different things, from IBS to an infection. However, sudden and persistent constipation can point to a cancer in or around the digestive tract: a tumor that presses on the nerves in the spinal cord can slow down the movement of your bowel, or if the mass pushes against the intestines, it may narrow the rectum and make it difficult to poop. Pay attention to constipation that comes with abdominal swelling or chronic bloating, two of the more common ovarian cancer symptoms.
