A leading charity has warned that too many women are "ignoring" the symptoms of ovarian cancer, prompting fears that more will end up facing a late-stage diagnosis.
According to the NHS, frequent symptoms of ovarian cancer include persistent bloating; feeling full quickly after eating or loss of appetite; pelvic pain or tenderness, and needing to pee more frequently.
New data obtained from a poll by Target Ovarian Cancer found that 99% of women did not know that needing to pee more urgently could be a symptom of ovarian cancer. Of the women surveyed 97% did not know that feeling full was a symptom, and 79% did not know persistent bloating was also another warning sign.
