Actually, a PAP smear is not going to detect ovarian cancer - that is generally used to detect cervical cancer.

The symptoms of ovarian cancer are often very subtle early on, which is why many don't get dx'd until advance disease state. Certainly ANY abmornal bleeding should be discussed with a doc. But on top of that, the symptoms are:

Pressure or pain in the abdomen, pelvis, back, or legs

A swollen or bloated abdomen

Nausea, indigestion, gas, constipation, or diarrhea

Feeling very tired all the time

But these can also be signs of other things as well. Another indication of potential ovarian cancer is an elevatede CA-125 level. This is a simple blood test and a result over 35 MAY but does not always, indicate some type of cancer activity going on.

If you are concerned that you may have ovarian cancer you should get in to see your doctor as soon as possible.

Good luck!
