GYN Cancer Signs & Symptoms
You Know Your Body Best, Our Experts Are Here to Help
At Woman’s our gynecological (GYN) specialists are here to address your concerns and changes in your body. We offer expertise in diagnosing and treating gynecological cancers. No one knows your body better than you. If you feel like something isn’t normal, pay attention. Make notes. And see your doctor.
Common symptoms of gynecologic cancers include:
- Abnormal bleeding or vaginal discharge
- Abdominal or back pain
- Bloating
- Changes in bathroom habits
- Changes in vulva or skin color (rash, sores, warts)
- Itching and/or burning vulva
- Pelvic pain or pressure
See your doctor right away if you have unusual or severe vaginal bleeding, or symptoms that last more than two weeks.
Convenient timing is not a trait of GYN cancers.
Check the Symptoms Chart of Gynecologic (GYN) Cancers. Not all women with gynecologic cancer will have the same symptoms. Symptoms can be difficult to recognize because they may be related to other conditions.
