🌸September is Gynaecological Cancer awareness month🌸
Each year in the UK, over 22,000 women are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer. These include ovarian, cervical, uterine, vaginal and vulval cancers.
Early diagnosis is key – spotting symptoms early can save lives. Most symptoms won’t be cancer, but it’s always best to get checked if something doesn’t feel right.
👉Symptoms to look out for include:
– Unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge (including after the menopause)
– Persistent bloating, feeling full more quickly, or nausea
– A persistent itch, lump, or changes to the vulval skin or vagina
– Unexplained lower back, abdominal, or pelvic pain
