Cancer Society Awareness: August
Gynecologic Cancer Awareness
Signs
and symptoms of cervical cancer:
Early
cervical pre-cancers or cancers often have no signs or symptoms. That's why
it's important for women to have regular Pap tests. Symptoms usually appear
when the cancer is further along and has spread to nearby areas. You should
report any of the following to your doctor right away:
- any unusual discharge from the
vagina (not your normal period)
- blood spots or light bleeding
other than your normal period, such as bleeding after sex, bleeding after
menopause, bleeding and spotting between periods, and having periods that
are longer or heavier than usual
- bleeding or pain
after sex, douching, or after a pelvic exam
Signs
and symptoms of endometrial cancer:
·
Unusual bleeding, spotting, or other
discharge
·
Pelvic pain or a mass and weight loss
Signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer:
- swelling of the
stomach (abdomen) or bloating caused by a build-up of fluid or a
tumor
- pelvic pressure
or stomach pain
- trouble eating
or feeling full quickly
- having to
urinate often or feeling like you have to "go" right away
