What are the symptoms of cancer of the uterus?
This will vary according to whether or not the woman is still having periods. If she is still having periods then the cancer may make her periods more irregular or heavier. If her periods have stopped, then any bleeding from the vagina is abnormal and cancer of the womb needs to be considered as a possibility. Any woman past the menopause should consult her doctor immediately if she has sudden and unexpected vaginal bleeding. The fact that cancer of the uterus often develops very slowly should not lead any woman to take any unexpected bleeding lightly.
