Endometrial Cancer - Signs and Symptoms

Signs and Symptoms

  • Vaginal bleeding and/or spotting in postmenopausal women.
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding, abnormal menstrual periods.
  • Bleeding between normal periods in premenopausal women in women older than 40: extremely long, heavy, or frequent episodes of bleeding (may indicate premalignant changes).
  • Anemia, caused by chronic loss of blood. (This may occur if the woman has ignored symptoms of prolonged or frequent abnormal menstrual bleeding.)

Famous quotes containing the words signs and/or symptoms:

    “They lock me in this chair at eight a.m.
    and there are no signs to tell the way,
    just the radio beating to itself
    and the song that remembers
    more than I.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The human condition is such that pain and effort are not just symptoms which can be removed without changing life itself; they are the modes in which life itself, together with the necessity to which it is bound, makes itself felt. For mortals, the “easy life of the gods” would be a lifeless life.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
