What does ovarian cancer pain feel like?

I've been experiencing persistent abdominal pain and some bloating, which has me worried. My mother had ovarian cancer. What does ovarian cancer pain specifically feel like? Is it a dull ache, sharp, or something else?

At my age, every day a new body part aches and we blame gas! But they say ovarian pain is more of a constant, heavy pressure or dull ache in the lower belly or pelvic area that doesn't go away even after changing positions. If it keeps nagging you, better get it checked than guessing.

For many, it is not a sharp sudden pain, but a continuous dull ache in the lower abdomen and back, sometimes with a feeling of fullness. Please take care of yourself. I highly recommend visiting a doctor soon to find the real cause and get some relief.

Since I have thyroid, I know how hormonal issues can cause weird pelvic pains, but constant dull pain or persistent bloating should never be ignored. It is so important to do regular health checkups and blood tests. Please schedule an ultrasound and follow up with a gynecologist immediately.

In my experience with deep body awareness, ovarian discomfort often manifests as a deep, heavy congestion in the pelvic bowl, almost like a constant downward pull. It doesn't ease up with gentle stretching or breathing. If you feel this persistent heaviness, please consult a medical practitioner for a proper scan.

I went through this treatment a few years back. The pain wasn't sharp; it was a persistent, nagging pelvic ache along with a bloated stomach that made me feel full after just two bites of food. My advice is to track these symptoms for two weeks and get a transvaginal ultrasound done without delay.
