Gynaecological Cancers

Early Awareness Saves Lives

Understanding Gynaecological Cancers

Gynaecological cancers are cancers that develop in a woman’s reproductive organs. These include cancers of the:

  • Cervix (cervical cancer)

  • Ovaries (ovarian cancer)

  • Uterus or womb (uterine/endometrial cancer)

  • Vulva (vulval cancer)

  • Vagina (vaginal cancer)

The female reproductive system, like the rest of the body, is made up of millions of tiny cells. Normally, these cells grow and divide in an orderly way. Gynaecological cancer begins when some of these cells start to grow abnormally and uncontrollably.

Early detection plays a crucial role in successful treatment. Recognizing symptoms early and seeking timely medical advice can significantly improve outcomes. If you notice unusual bleeding, persistent pelvic pain, bloating, or changes in your menstrual cycle, it’s important not to ignore them.

👉 Take charge of your health. Regular gynaecological check-ups and screenings can help detect problems early—when treatment is most effective. Book a consultation today for expert care, early diagnosis, and peace of mind.

Know the Signs. Act Early.

Symptoms of Gynaecological Cancers You Shouldn’t Ignore

Gynaecological cancers can affect different parts of the female reproductive system, so symptoms may vary depending on the location of the cancer. In many cases, early signs are subtle and easy to overlook. Being aware of changes in your body and seeking timely medical advice can make a meaningful difference.

Common Symptoms to Watch For You may notice one or more of the following symptoms:

  • Unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge, especially bleeding after menopause
  • Persistent pain in the lower abdomen or pelvic area
  • Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse
  • Itching, irritation, or skin changes around the vaginal opening
  • Difficulty passing urine or a frequent urge to urinate
  • Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation or ongoing discomfort

Having these symptoms does not automatically mean you have cancer. However, if symptoms are new, persistent, or worsening, it’s important to have them checked by a qualified gynaecologist.

When to See a Doctor

If you notice ongoing or unusual symptoms, don’t wait. Early consultation allows for accurate diagnosis, reassurance, or prompt treatment if needed.

Tips for Talking to Your Doctor

To get the most out of your appointment, consider the following:

  • Write down your symptoms, noting when they started, how often they occur, and what makes them better or worse
  • Share your family history of cancer, if any, with your doctor
  • Follow up if symptoms persist, even if initial tests are normal—seeking a second opinion is okay
  • Bring a trusted family member or friend for emotional support and clarity
