 The most common sign of uterine cancer is vaginal bleeding and/or spotting in postmenopausal women. In premenopausal women, abnormal uterine bleeding such as bleeding in between or abnormal menstrual periods such as extremely long, heavy, or frequent episodes of bleeding which may indicate premalignant changes, is also an important sign, especially in women over 40.

Other signs include:

• Anemia which can be caused by chronic loss of blood. (this may occur if the woman has ignored symptoms of prolonged or frequent abnormal menstrual bleeding)
• Lower abdominal pain or pelvic cramping
• Thin white or clear vaginal discharge in postmenopausal women.

If any of these symptoms occur, a woman should contact her gynecologist for further evaluation.
