Bloating
Menopause or cancer? First, you need to know that bloating is a common symptom for women who are in the menopausal transition. Bloating is an unpleasant feeling of tightness or heavy pressure that is typically felt around your belly. It varies from person to person.
In the case of cancers such as ovarian cancer, bloating, and abdominal swelling are some pretty common symptoms. Difficulty eating, nausea, and feeling full immediately after eating are other signs that might indicate ovarian cancer.
In the US, those 63 and older make up around half of ovarian cancer diagnoses. However, those who have hereditary ovarian cancer syndrome may get the disease earlier in life.
