Endometrial Cancer Signs & Symptoms (& Why They Occur)

Endometrial Cancer Signs & Symptoms (& Why They Occur)

Endometrial Cancer (also known as Endometrial carcinoma or Corpus cancer) is a cancer of the inner lining of the uterus known as the endometrium. Female patients (and patients with a uterus) are susceptible to endometrial cancer. Endometrial Cancer is caused by high levels of estrogen for prolonged periods of time or from “unopposed” estrogen, which can occur in some medical conditions and with the use of certain medications. Endometrial Cancer can occur in two types (Type 1 and Type 2), with each type causing particular signs and symptoms. In this lesson, we discuss the signs and symptoms of Endometrial Cancer and why signs and symptoms occur.

Ladies, if your under 40 you need to advocate for yourself. Most doctors will not take your symptoms seriously. I was talked out of my symptoms for 7 years until I pushed for an ultrasound. From there, it went to biopsy to the cancer diagnosis. Protect yourself and your fertility.

I found this video while trying to justify canceling the hysteroscopy/D&C procedure my doctor wants to do because of thickened endometrium/ heavy bleeding. (it's expensive and I'm broke) I'm grateful i watched it because I changed my mind and will be going through with the surgery after all.

[elizabethmercurius]

I am 63 year old and thank God I do not have cancer or none of these signs thank u for sharing

[thisoldbag]

Very interesting. I had none of these symptoms and in the middle of menopause. I got a big surprise when I had a PET scan which showed I likely have uterine cancer along with cancer in lymph nodes by my ear. If I didn't have the PET scan, I would have never known about the uterine cancer. Fair warning for others viewing this video and think they are good-to-go by not having the symptoms described in this video.

[laurainrevison]

If you have fibroids it will be worse. Inconsistent periods can happen, but I know many women that had heavy bleeding until they went through menopause. Explain that?

[sjordan]

I had sudden horrendous abdominal pain while walking one day, and later an huge flood of bleeding. For more than two years I had been telling my MD that I could tell there was something wrong with my body, I just did not feel well. all he did was stare at me, and said nothing. I was misdiagnosed twice in a year by another so called 'professional'. 2.5 years later, since my surgery, and radiation, I am down to an Endometrial Cancer recurrence risk of 3%. Vag. vault brachytherapy is nasty and caused Radiation Disease and a host of other issues. I tried meds, Botox, Bulkamid and have an Interstim implant, still have issues. I have changed my diet from Vegetarian to Plant-based whole foods, organic where possible. My Oncologist is totally impressed. She now eats Ezekiel organic sprouted bread like me. Need to focus more on losing more weight and riding my bike. I am in my mid-seventies. Thank you to Dr. Elise for saving my life!

I am 16 and i have thickened endrometrial... What should i do?

[mzcyberbat]

Bleeding for more than 20days is *not* normal. If your periods are not normal and your're tired. Please go and see the doctor

[hartleyb]

I just found your channel and oh my gosh!!!! Let me say, I’m in love! ☺️ I love learning all this new information. I was wondering if there was any way you could cover Intracranial Hypertension? It used to be called Pseudotumor Cerebri. I’ve been diagnosed with it since 2002 and I’ve had 13 brain surgeries & 200+ lumbar punctures. Most people have never heard of it. Thanks so much for all of the awesome videos!!!

Was recently Dx with lower rectum cancer and with MRI they saw something so here I am 😢

[alynesternon]

2 months ago today, I was diagnosed by Endometrial Cancer. I am 33 years old. Just got married and devastated when we finally plan to have a baby we had to stop so I can be cured with this. I dont know what to do. Im getting more anxious by the day. I dont want my uterus be removed without having baby yet. Im so scared. 😢

[jassi-im]

Not your typical symptoms ive had ovarian cyst and uterine polyp which was found during hysteroscopy. Never had any bleeding. Endometrial thickening 11mm, biopsy clear. All i had was abdominal bloating and heaviness. 3yrs later severe abdominal distension no bleeding. Endometrial hyperplasia 23mm. 3.5cm polyp removed. Biopsy clear

[flippingforreal]

Thanks for sharing the video but I wanted to know what causes these types of cancers to happen.

[barbarameehan]

I was dx with st3c111 agressive endometrial cancer, clear cell, in oct. 2023.
I had a biopsy in dr. office...no pain. I had a hysterectomy in nov. 2023, recovered quickly. Started chemo jan. 2024...6 rds. Then 3 radiation and am now on immunotherapy. So far so good .. NED...it is a journey, it can be scary but take it one day st a time. I get a scan on mon. I am 83.❤

I came here looking for answers after my doctor did an ultrasound and said I have a malignant tumor in my uterus. I think I am in the beginning stages of menopause, been having hot flashes and missing periods. And I am 44 years old. My moms menopause started when she was only 38, so I figured mine would be early too.

[giselleocasio]

Im 35 and in less than 8hrs I'll have hysteroscopy/polypectomy procedure. Been having pain/discomfort with bleeding everyday for the past two months. Previously for the past 4-5 yrs had heavier periods. Hopefully all goes well. Had to advocate for myself a little because Dr doesn't think anything could be wrong because of my age. But the sonogram showed something and made him to finally listen.

[carmenstevenson]

I got mine in my 40s! It runs in my family

Is a metastatic uterine cancer curable?

[glendadalejones]

Never knew about the changes inbetween the pre and peri menopause, and the second change in this phase and what it means and what you need to do.
Thankyou . If I wasn’t subscribed i would not have come across learning about this, and that is most likely!
Thankyou. You have a fantastic channel!
