- Uterine cancer most commonly presents with bleeding ( heavy bleeding during periods, erratic bleeding on and off or continuously, spotting).
- Sometimes there might be only discharge, or only ultrasound report showing some changes.
- These are most common starting signals. Rarely it may present with unusual symptoms.

- Uterine cancers usually present with vaginal bleeding like you have during periods, but it is not cyclical like normal periods and can also occur after menopause.
- Some uterine cancers can also present with lower abdominal mass or pain due to enlarged size of the uterus.
