The cancer rate for women under age 50 is rising, according to the American Cancer Society. Fortunately, cancer mortality is on the decline, mainly due to early detection. However, many women overlook certain cancer symptoms, especially if they are young and healthy. But this disease can affect anyone at any age, so it’s important to know what signs to look out for. Women are more likely to get breast, endometrial, cervical, lung, colorectal, and skin cancer compared to men. So look out for strange symptoms indicative of these conditions
Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding
Women carry a sanitary napkin to use to cure vaginal discharge.
Over 90% of people with endometrial cancer have non-period bleeding. It may not be easy to tell the difference for those with irregular menstrual cycles. Therefore, tracking periods is important for overall female health, and it can also be useful for cervical or vaginal cancer screening. Contact your doctor if you experience abnormally heavy bleeding, bleeding between periods, bleeding during intercourse, or bloody discharge. Additionally, people after menopause shouldn’t experience vaginal bleeding or spotting at all, according to the MD Anderson Cancer Center. Seek medical attention if this occurs.
