Abnormal Bleeding and Uterine Cancer: What You Should Know

Age: The risk of uterine cancer increases as you get older, with most cases diagnosed in women over the age of 50.
Hormonal Imbalance: Estrogen stimulates the growth of the uterine lining. Conditions that increase estrogen levels without a corresponding increase in progesterone such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or taking estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy elevate your risk.
Obesity: Fat tissue produces excess estrogen. Maintaining a higher body weight significantly increases the amount of estrogen circulating in your body, which overstimulates the endometrium.
Reproductive History: Starting menstruation at an early age or entering menopause late increases the total number of years your body is exposed to estrogen.
Family History: A genetic predisposition, such as a family history of endometrial, colon, or ovarian cancer (including Lynch syndrome), can elevate your susceptibility.

Experiencing unexpected changes in your body can be unsettling. Abnormal vaginal bleeding is a common gynecological concern that prompts many women to seek medical advice. While it frequently stems from entirely benign conditions, it is important to understand its potential connection to more serious health issues, such as uterine cancer.
