There are usually no symptoms in the early stages of fallopian tube cancer. It may be found by chance during a routine gynaecological check-up or during surgery for another condition.

However, if you notice any of the following, you should see your doctor:

• pain, swelling, pressure or a lump in your belly^1-3, pelvis^1-3 or back^2,3
• needing to urinate (wee) often or urgently^1-3
• feeling like you can’t completely empty your bowel or bladder³
• loss of appetite or feeling full quickly^1-3
• gastrointestinal problems such as gas, bloating, constipation¹, indigestion or heartburn^2,3
• tiredness^2,3
• abnormal bleeding or watery discharge from the vagina^2,3.

There are other conditions that may cause these symptoms, not just fallopian tube cancer. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important that you discuss them with a doctor.
