Ovarian cancer
See your GP if you notice a change that isn't normal for you or if you have any of the possible signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.
Your GP should refer you to a specialist if your symptoms could be due to ovarian cancer.
There is no national screening programme for ovarian cancer in the UK. This is because there isn't a test that reliably picks up ovarian cancer at an early stage.
You have a number of tests to check for ovarian cancer. This usually includes blood tests and an ultrasound scan.
