Womb cancer
Cancer of the womb (uterus) is a common cancer of the female reproductive system that often causes abnormal vaginal bleeding.
The most common symptom of womb cancer is abnormal bleeding from the vagina, although most people with abnormal bleeding do not have cancer.
It's not known exactly what causes uterine (womb) cancer, but there are certain things that can increase your risk.
You should visit your GP if you have abnormal vaginal bleeding. While it's unlikely to be caused by womb cancer, it's best to be sure.
Surgery is the main treatment for womb cancer, although different methods can be used depending on your personal circumstances.
A diagnosis of cancer is a challenge for most people. How cancer affects your daily life depends on the stage of your cancer and the treatments used.
