Endometrial Cancer Symptoms
Since endometrial cancer
develops, in most cases, in postmenopausal women, early symptom is most often bleeding or unusual discharge from
the vagina. While other health problems can lead to abnormal vaginal bleeding, in postmenopausal women it is a
red flag.
Fortunately, unlike many
other types of cancer, symptoms of endometrial cancer usually appear early; therefore, the mortality rate of
endometrial cancer is low.
In general, if you have
endometrial cancer, you will experience at least one of the following symptoms
- weight
loss
- abnormal bleeding
after menopause
- vaginal discharge
- bleeding between
periods (premenopausal women)
- difficult or painful
urination
