Uterine & Endometrial Cancer

Early Symptoms, Diagnosis, Management & Hopeful Outcomes

At Oorkid Hospital & IVF Centre, uterine and endometrial cancer care focuses on early symptom recognition, accurate diagnosis, and responsible management.

Endometrial cancer is often detected early because symptoms appear sooner than many other gynecological cancers—leading to better outcomes with timely care.

Understanding Uterine & Endometrial Cancer

• Uterine cancer refers to cancer arising in the uterus
• Endometrial cancer is the most common type and begins in the uterine lining (endometrium)

Abnormal bleeding is often the earliest warning sign, making early detection possible.

Uterine & Endometrial Cancer Symptoms

Common symptoms include:

• Abnormal vaginal bleeding
• Bleeding after menopause
• Heavy or prolonged periods
• Spotting between cycles
• Pelvic pain or pressure
• Mass detected in uterus
• Thick uterine lining on ultrasound

Important: Any abnormal bleeding—especially after menopause—should not be ignored.

Endometrial Cancer Causes & Risk Factors

Risk factors are often linked to hormonal imbalance:

• Prolonged estrogen exposure
• Obesity and metabolic conditions
• PCOS or irregular cycles
• Diabetes or hypertension
• Late menopause or no pregnancies

Understanding risk helps guide timely screening and evaluation.

Diagnosis & Uterine Cancer Report

Diagnosis typically involves:

• Detailed medical history
• Ultrasound (endometrial thickness assessment)
• Endometrial biopsy when required

A uterine cancer report helps determine:

• Cancer type
• Grade and severity
• Next steps for treatment

Reports are explained clearly for informed decision-making.

Endometrial Cancer Staging

Staging helps guide treatment and prognosis. It depends on:

• Depth of invasion in the uterus
• Spread to nearby organs
• Lymph node involvement

Uterine & Endometrial Cancer Management

Treatment depends on stage and overall health:

• Surgical treatment
• Medical oncology care
• Regular follow-up and monitoring

At Oorkid, we focus on early detection, diagnosis, counselling, and referral coordination.
