Symptoms Of Endometrial Cancer

By far the most common symptom of endometrial cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding.

In women who have experienced menopause, any vaginal bleeding is abnormal and should be evaluated by a physician.

In women who have passed menopause or are going through menopause, distinguishing normal bleeding abnormal menstrual bleeding can be difficult. A period of heavier bleeding or more frequent or between periods is sometimes linked to cancer in women who menstruate. During the transition to menopause, shorter periods and frequency should be more distant. All other bleeding should be reported to a doctor.

The following symptoms are much less frequent and generally indicate a fairly advanced cancer:

Pelvic pain

Mass (swelling or a lump sum) is the pelvic area

Weight Loss
