Uterine cancer.
A malignant growth of the uterus. Endometrial cancer, which usually develops after menopause, is the most common reproductive cancer in women. If detected and treated in an early stage, it is most often curable. Symptoms commonly include vaginal bleeding or spotting in a woman who has completed menopause or abnormal bleeding at any age, such as unusually heavy menstrual flow or bleeding between menstrual periods. Pain and discomfort are usually experienced only in advanced stages of the disease. After menopause, any vaginal bleeding other than that associated with hormone replacement therapy must be considered abnormal and should be reported to the doctor as soon as possible.
