Signs & Symptoms of Endometrial Cancer

 

There are a few signs and symptoms that can point to endometrial cancer. As the cancer develops and spreads, these symptoms may become more noticeable. Recognizing the potential signs and symptoms of endometrial cancer may lead to an earlier diagnosis, when it may be more easily treated. This can sometimes be difficult because some of these symptoms are similar to other more common health conditions. Therefore, it is very important to listen to your body and share anything unusual with your healthcare team.

 

Being persistent and proactive in communicating your signs and symptoms to your healthcare team may help lead to an earlier diagnosis.

Most Common Sign of Endometrial Cancer:

  • Abnormal bleeding or spotting from the vagina (bleeding between periods, bleeding after menopause, or abnormal vaginal discharge)

Other Endometrial Cancer Signs/Symptoms:

  • Non-bloody vaginal discharge
  • Pain in the pelvis
  • Feeling a mass (tumor) in the pelvic area
  • Sudden weight loss

These are not all of the possible signs/symptoms of endometrial cancer, so it is important to talk to your healthcare team if you notice anything unusual.
