Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Hiccups happens due to nerve irritation in the chest region. It is not a confirmatory sign of cancer.

The ultrasound scan is most essential in your case. However there is no need to worry as most lumps are benign. When evaluating a probable condition of the ovary, it is important to know your age, menstrual history, any intake of hormone pills and the chief complaints other than abdominal distension and, back pain, shortness of breath, shoulder pain.

It will also help to know if there are any ovary cancers running in your family. Doing a ovary tumor marker test like CA 125 will also help but again this is not confirmatory. Please get your ultrasound scan done and send report details for more discussion. Please do not worry.
