Endometrial cancer has been on the rise in Canada over the past 20 years. People who are older and living with obesity are more likely to be diagnosed with endometrial cancer. However, it can occur in younger people as well.<\/p>\n

The good news is that endometrial cancer may be detected early if you notice the warning signs and seek medical attention right away!<\/p>\n
It may also be prevented in many cases, since we know of conditions that may place some people at a higher risk.<\/p>\n
The most common first sign of endometrial cancer is Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding<\/strong>. This is any vaginal bleeding after menopause in older people (post-menopausal bleeding),or abnormally heavy periods in younger people. It is also more common in people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or polycystic ovary syndrome.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”warning” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F5F5F5″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Warning Signs and Causes of Endometrial Cancer” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_text_color=”#F14F50″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_heading title=”Do you have the warning signs for endometrial cancer?
