Ovarian Cancer Lawyers

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.

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

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

If you suffer from a consistent feeling of bloating or pressure in your stomach or feel unusually full when eating, you should seek the opinion of a medical professional. Only a medical professional can determine whether your symptoms are caused by ovarian cancer or a different cause.

If you are sick, injured, or suffering from unexplained symptoms, you may take for granted that your medical providers will be able to promptly diagnose your condition and provide the treatment you need to recover. Unfortunately, in far too many cases, this doesn’t happen. Medical mistakes are on the rise nationwide, and cases involving misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis of medical conditions like ovarian cancer are increasingly common.

Studies conducted by the Institute of Medicine show that as many as 12 million people each year suffer from diagnostic errors made by healthcare providers, leading to roughly 10% of all patient deaths. Unfortunately, these cases often go unreported by patients who are unaware that an error occurred or are unsure of their legal rights in holding their doctors accountable.
