Uterine Cancer

Uterine cancer, also known as endometrial cancer, begins in the lining of the uterus, the organ where a fetus develops during pregnancy. It typically affects postmenopausal women and is often marked by unusual bleeding. Risk factors include obesity, hormone imbalances, and a history of certain health conditions. Symptoms can also include pelvic pain and changes in menstrual cycles. Early diagnosis improves treatment outcomes, which may involve surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Regular check-ups and awareness of changes in health can help in early detection and intervention.
