Symptoms of endometrial cancer
There is no effective screening for endometrial cancer. This disease is therefore diagnosed when symptoms appear.
The main symptom of endometrial cancer is bleeding from the uterus.
- This bleeding occurs most often after menopause
- But the persistence of abnormal bleeding (too heavy or too frequent periods) before the menopause must also be investigated for this cancer.
Bleeding may be minimal or even almost absent, especially in women whose cervix is not very permeable (age, history of conization).
More rarely, a discharge of pus or clear liquid is observed.
Advanced stages may be associated with pelvic or abdominal pain.
