About
Endometrial Cancer

Abnormal vaginal bleeding and bleeding after menopause can be associated with Endometrial cancer, also known as womb cancer.

Abnormal vaginal bleeding (AVB) is present in 75-90% of all women with EC. However, the likelihood of a woman presenting with AVB and then being diagnosed with EC is low. Only a small proportion of women with abnormal bleeding after menopause were diagnosed with EC.

Please consider reaching out to your healthcare professionals if you have any of the below signs in the first instance for further consultation.
