History and Symptoms

• Abnormal uterine bleeding, abnormal menstrual periods
• Bleeding between normal periods in premenopausal women
• Vaginal bleeding and/or spotting in postmenopausal women

In women older than 40: extremely long, heavy, or frequent episodes of bleeding (may indicate premalignant changes)

• Anemia, 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.
