Are there any symptoms to uterine cancer? my mother had it and said she had none?

Most cases of endometrial (uterine) cancer develop in postmenopausal women, whose periods have stopped. The first clue that something is wrong may be abnormal vaginal bleeding.

Signs and symptoms of endometrial cancer may include:

* Any bleeding after menopause
* Prolonged periods or bleeding between periods
* An abnormal, non-bloody discharge from your vagina
* Pelvic pain
* Pain during sex
* Unintended weight loss

Many of these same symptoms may be associated with noncancerous (benign) conditions, such as vaginal infections, uterine fibroids or uterine polyps.

Since you may be at increased risk of endometrial cancer, talk with your doctor about what screening tests might be appropriate for you.

Best of luck.

I was not postmenopausal, in fact I was only 34 when I was diagnosed, I had very heavy periods and they came very frequently and lasted a long time (10 days on/10 days off) and mild pain during sex.

post menopausal bleeding of any nature gives a suspition of uterine cancer --- some tinmes recurrent urinary tract infection always result in malignancy around the uterus

My mother died from it, and her sympton was excessive bleeding.
