Understanding Uterine Cancer Risk Factors: Protect Your Health

🔬 Changes in hormonal balance can significantly impact your risk of developing uterine cancer. Be aware of how hormonal shifts affect your body.

👩‍🦳 More years of menstruation may increase your chances. Women who start menstruating early or experience late menopause have a higher risk due to longer exposure to estrogen.

👶 Never being pregnant, also known as nulliparity, is a factor to consider. Pregnancy and childbirth can offer some protective effects against uterine cancer.

🕰️ Age plays a significant role in uterine cancer risk. As you grow older, especially after menopause, your risk tends to increase.

💊 Hormone therapy, particularly estrogen without progesterone, can affect risk levels. If you're considering or currently on hormone therapy, discuss the risks with your healthcare provider.

🧬 Lynch syndrome is a genetic predisposition that can increase your risk of uterine cancer, along with other types of cancer. If you have a family history, genetic testing may be advisable.

Understanding these risk factors is crucial for early detection and prevention. Regular check-ups and open communication with your healthcare provider are essential steps in maintaining your reproductive health. Remember, knowledge is power when it comes to protecting yourself against uterine cancer.
