What Are The Symptoms Of Ovarian Cancer?
hi I am going to my gyno tomorrow, I go every year. I am 65 years old and in good health I am very worried about ovarian cancer because I gained like 10 pounts in 6 months. I do eat a lot, too much, I do exercise, but not very good workouts as I have two bad knees I do have urgencies to urinate and can t hold it when the feeling comes on I cannot have intercourse as it is painful I don t have bloating I do have lower back pain, but I was diagnosed with bulging disks So my hope is that my symptoms are just normal menopause and aging symptoms. I am so scared to hear the doctor tomorrow

Hi
Weight gain is commonly seen and associated with menopause and pre-menopause so there should be no issue regarding that. Ovarian cysts are common but assuming this is cancer would be wrong, as weight loss is more commonly seen in cancer and not weight gain.
