Increased perception and sensitivity to what is happening in the digestive tract Increased curvature of the lumbar region of the spine (lumbar lordosis), which decreases the capacity of the abdomen to hold gas These tests include: Stool analysis Blood workup [iffgd.org]
Treatment
Conventional treatment for SIBO is typically focused on antibiotics to eradicate the bacterial overgrowth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Unfortunately, ovarian cancer typically purports a poor prognosis; the five-year survival rate is less than 50 percent. A malignancy identified early (stage 1) has a cure rate more than 90 percent. ( Am J Obstet Gynecol 2003;189[4]:1120.) [journals.lww.com]

Etiology
New suggestions on its etiology include recent weight gain, weak abdominal muscles, and retained fluid in loops of small intestine. No treatment is of proven benefit, but treatment by weight loss, exercise, and prokinetics should be studied. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The exact etiology is unknown, but the primary risk factor for developing ovarian cancer is a positive family history. ( Obstet Gynecol 1992;80[4]:700.) [journals.lww.com]
