Signs and Symptoms

Early uterine cancer usually is asymptomatic (i.e., does not cause symptoms). Abnormal vaginal bleeding, which is the most common symptom, may also result from a condition called dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB).

Other symptoms of uterine cancer include the following:

  • Abnormal vaginal discharge
  • Painful or difficult urination
  • Pelvic pain
  • Pain during intercourse

Advanced uterine cancer may cause weight loss, loss of appetite, and changes in bladder and bowel habits.
