Signs and Symptoms of Endometrial Cancer

What are the signs and symptoms of endometrial cancer?

In this video, Ursula Matulonis, MD, chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at Dana-Farber, shares common symptoms of endometrial cancer to look out for as well as treatment options.

Endometrial cancer is curable if the disease is diagnosed at an early stage. It's important to speak to your doctor if you notice any abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge.

I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer just after I turned 39 (biopsy done when I was 38). My main symptom was anaemia from the incredibly heavy bleeding and I had spotting in between periods. 5 years on, and i lost my ability to have children, but I'm still here. Took me two years to get diagnosed though as I was "too young" even though I knew something was wrong.

I have NO energy. Was diagnosed two weeks ago. Im 64. Going in next week for full hysterectomy. Not doing chemo. I'm done. To many health issues.

Uterine cancer is a major disease and my aunt was suffering from it. We tried all the treatments but she wasn't getting the energy to get back to her daily routine. All thanks to the products and services of Planet Ayurveda that she was able to gain her energy back and got back to her daily routine.

I am 59 yrs old. I had my period 3 times in 2020 and I had it every month in 2019 and every month in the previous years. Then in April 2021 I spotted a little. In May 2021 I had a period for 5 days(light bleeding). I had a physical 3 wks ago. and my Dr. examined me. She said I had a polyp and said that is what caused my bleeding, not a period.(which I think it was a real period). So, She ordered an ultra sound. The ultrasound showed thick lining of the uterus of 6 MM. The finding is abnormal because it was over 5MM.
Now I need to see a gynecologist. I have an appt July16th. They will do a biopsy. The thing is I would not consider myself post menopausal because I did not miss my period for full 12 months.
I hope they find no cancer. I still do not get why they are going to do a biopsy when I am not post menopausal yet.
Any feed back from anyone would be appreciated.

Could I possibly need to be checked if I have PCOS, on medication to have a period and my body still won’t have a period? I am only 20 and was diagnosed when I was 17.

Anyone else have lymph node swelling of the inguinal /groin area? And or hip/upper leg pain? Is the endometrial biopsy painful, i have mine in office in 4 days and im a big wimp so wondering if i need to take a sedative prior?
