Uterine Cancer
Other names: Uterine Cancer
The uterus is a major female reproductive organ. It’s where a baby grows during pregnancy. There are many types of uterine cancer. The most common type begins in the Endometrium, the lining of the uterus. This cancer is sometimes called endometrial cancer.
Uterine cancer symptoms include:
* Vaginal bleeding or unusual
* Difficulty urinating
* Pelvic pain
* Pain during sex
Uterine cancer usually occurs after menopause. Obesity and hormone replacement with estrogen also increases the risk. Treatment varies depending on your general health, cancer progression and whether hormones affect growth. Treatment is usually a hysterectomy, a surgery to remove the uterus. Other options include hormone therapy and radiotherapy.
