Common Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer Caused by Talcum Powder

Those women who have applied talcum powder to their genitals for many years (at least 4) may be at an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Some of the common side effects and complications of ovarian cancer include:

Vaginal Bleeding

Any vaginal bleeding that is not caused by menstruation, or vaginal discharge that is abnormal, may be a sign of ovarian cancer and should be assessed by a medical professional.

Change in bowel and bladder habits

If your bowel or bladder habits have recently made a dramatic change – for example, you all of a sudden have to use the restroom frequently or have diarrhea – this could be a sign of ovarian cancer.

Pain

Pain in the pelvic region, the back, and the abdominal area are all common symptoms of ovarian cancer.

Bloating and Pressure
