Symptoms of ovarian cancer?

I have been having stomach bloating problems for at least the last 6 months. However, it is not constant. In the morning, it is not so bad. However, after eating, I tend to get very bloated. I don't eat foods that would cause this bloating, such as milk or dairy products, and have not made major changes to my diet. I looked up stomach bloating online and came across a lot of information about it being a symptom of ovarian cancer. I have gained approximately 10lbs in the past year, even with healthy eating and daily cardio exercise (60-90 minutes). Although I am constantly bloated, I am not fatigued, or have any pains. In addition, no one in my family has cancer. Could one have ovarian cancer without pain or weight loss?

21 is not too young for OVCA  I'll give you the signs
1.  Bloating
2.  Pelvic or abdominal pain
3.  Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
4.  Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency)
And of course, there are others but you should
go to your gynocologist first and see where this leads.  Please listen to your body
OVCA is silent and whispers....it did this to me.  
I'll be praying for you

To add, I am only 21 yrs old. Isn't this too young for ovarian cancer? Also, I have very regular periods.
