# Persistent Perimenopause Symptoms May Need Ovarian Cancer Checks 2026-08-06T23:46:32+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling full quickly, urinary changes and fatigue may need medical evaluation during perimenopause, Times Now News reports. The symptoms can have many causes, but ovarian cancer symptoms often persist, recur or worsen rather than ease. Dr Iti Parikh of Bhailal Amin General Hospital said women should not attribute every new change to menopause. There is no reliable routine screening test for ovarian cancer among women at average risk. Doctors may consider a pelvic examination, ultrasound or CA-125 blood test, though CA-125 alone cannot confirm screening or diagnosis. Symptoms lasting more than two or three weeks, occurring almost daily or becoming more severe should be discussed with a healthcare professional. Common alternatives include hormonal changes, fibroids, irritable bowel syndrome and urinary infections. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: cancer awareness, ovarian cancer, perimenopause, symptoms, women’s health Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/persistent-perimenopause-symptoms-may-need-ovarian-cancer-checks/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
