September is Gynaecological awareness month, please swipe through the carousel below for some key symptoms to look out for

You know your body better than anyone. Knowing what is normal for you can help you recognise when something changes.

Symptoms can have many different causes and having one or more of these symptoms does not mean you have cancer. However, it’s important to speak to your GP if you notice something that is unusual for you, particularly if it doesn't go away.

If symptoms are caused by cancer, finding it early may mean it is easier to treat.
