Which urinary symptom can be associated with ovarian cancer?

• A. Urinary Urgency/Frequency
• B. Dizziness
• C. Visual Disturbances
• D. Chest Pain

Answer: (A)

An enlarging ovarian tumor can press on the bladder in the pelvis, reducing its capacity and irritating the bladder lining. This mass effect commonly leads to urinary symptoms such as urgency and frequency. These urinary changes are a recognized clue in ovarian cancer because they reflect how a pelvic mass can physically interact with nearby organs. The other symptoms listed—dizziness, visual disturbances, and chest pain—are not typical consequences of a pelvic ovarian mass and would suggest other underlying issues rather than an ovarian cancer-related bladder irritation.
