Every woman should remember

Learn about the symptoms of ovarian cancer

4468 people have taken the pledge

Every year, 6,600 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK. If caught early, treatment can be very successful. If you experience any of the symptoms below on most days, get yourself checked by your GP. It's unlikely that they are caused by a serious problem, but it's best to be sure.

Ovarian Cancer Action is working to improve women's chances of surviving the disease by funding research, raising awareness, and by giving a voice to those affected by the disease. Every woman should know about the symptoms of ovarian cancer.

Please take the pledge today and pass it onto the women in your life. Together we can help more women survive ovarian cancer.

I pledge to remember
Remember the symptoms

  • Persistent tummy or pelvic pain

  • Increased tummy size or persistent bloating - not bloating that comes and goes

  • Difficulty eating and feeling full quickly

  • Women may also experience other symptoms, such as the need to wee more frequently, changes in bowel habit, extreme fatigue or back pain
