Overview

Signs 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.
