Uterine Cancer Symptoms

• Vaginal bleeding, spotting, or brownish discharge after menopause
• Irregular or heavy bleeding in younger women
• Pelvic pain or pressure
• Symptoms common in later stages:
  • Feeling a mass in the pelvis
  • Losing weight without trying
• Less common symptoms:
  • Difficult or painful urination
  • Pain during intercourse

Although these symptoms can be caused by factors other than cancer, it is important to be evaluated by a gynecologist who may recommend additional testing. The diagnosis of uterine cancer often relies on obtaining a tissue sample through a surgical procedure called a biopsy.
