​Endometrial Cancer

Book Appointment

Endometrial cancer is a cancer that starts in the uterus. It usually starts in the layer of cells that make up the lining (endometrium) of the uterus. Endometrial cancer is often found and detected in its early stages, because it often results in abnormal vaginal bleeding.

If detected early, a surgical procedure to remove the uterus often cures endometrial cancer.

When to seek expert advise

You should be watchful of your menstruation cycle. Visit a medical practitioner working with the Women's Health Care Service Line at The Aga Khan University Hospital immediately if you notice vaginal bleeding or unusual vaginal discharge that is not linked to your periods.

You should be wary of the slightest change, even if it is abnormal spotting. Consult a doctor working with the Oncology Service Line at The Aga Khan University Hospital if you feel pelvic cramps and experience pain during urination or intercourse.
