Gynaecological Cancers
What it is:
Gynaecological cancers include cancers of the womb, cervix, ovaries, vulva, and vagina. They begin in the female reproductive system and each has its own signs and risk factors.
Symptoms:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Unusual vaginal discharge
- Persistent bloating
- Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
- Discomfort during relations
Occasional symptoms are common, but repeated or unusual changes should be checked.
Diagnosis:
Your doctor may suggest pelvic exams, scans, or biopsies depending on the suspected type.
Treatment:
There are different treatment options available, depending on the type and stage of the cancer. If you are diagnosed, your doctor will explain what’s best for you and guide you through the next steps.
