Episode Description
Welcome to Onco Life Centre Podcast.
This episode explains the symptoms of uterine cancer, especially abnormal bleeding, and when they're worth getting checked.
You'll learn:
- Why bleeding that is heavier, longer, or oddly timed is the clearest early sign of uterine cancer
- Why post menopausal bleeding in particular needs urgent attention, even light spotting
- Other symptoms beyond bleeding, including pelvic pain, unusual discharge, and bloating
- What raises the risk of uterine cancer, including Lynch syndrome and other inherited factors
- The difference between endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma, the two main types
- How doctors actually diagnose uterine cancer, from a pelvic exam to a transvaginal ultrasound and tissue sample
- Why no blood test alone can confirm or rule out uterine cancer
If you've noticed a change in your bleeding pattern, this episode covers what it might mean and when it's worth a doctor's visit.
