Signs of uterine cancer may include irregular vaginal bleeding, particularly postmenopausal bleeding or abnormal menstruation periods. It can also manifest as pelvic pain or discomfort, pain during intercourse and unexplained weight loss. It is very important to seek immediate guidance from a doctor if you have any of these symptoms. Routine gynecological exams, Pap smears and pelvic ultrasounds are other essential tools used for early detection. Through regular check-ups and open communication with your doctor concerning any issues, uterine cancer can be diagnosed and managed at an appropriate time.
