Early Warning Signs Of Ovarian Cancer

Getting Full Faster

The ovaries are located in the lower abdomen. Thus, the cancerous cells that are dividing and growing are here as well. These cells will take up space in the abdomen that the woman’s intestines and other organs require. This triggers abdominal organ compression. Normally, the stomach and intestines get bigger to take the food consumed into account before digestion begins.

When ovarian cancer takes hold, the compression of the abdomen limits how much these organs can expand since space is no longer available. Thus, women will start feeling discomfort faster when they eat food. This mimics the feeling of being full, since it’s unlikely that they can ingest much more.
