Abnormal bleeding is never "normal" especially after menopause. It could be an early sign of Endometrial Cancer.

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer, and when detected early, it is highly treatable. Paying attention to your body's warning signs can lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatment outcomes.

Watch out for these symptoms:
🔸 Abnormal vaginal bleeding (especially after menopause)
🔸 Irregular or unusually heavy periods
🔸 Persistent pelvic pain or pressure
🔸 Unexplained weight loss
🔸 Ongoing fatigue

These symptoms don't always mean cancer, but they should never be ignored. A timely consultation with a Gynecologist can help identify the cause and ensure appropriate treatment if needed.

Why Awareness Matters

Awareness can save lives. Recognizing potential symptoms and risk factors may lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment, when outcomes are often more favorable. Common symptoms can include abnormal uterine bleeding, post-menopausal bleeding, pelvic pain, pelvic mass, or unexplained weight loss. Because these symptoms can be mistaken for other conditions, it is important to seek medical evaluation when changes occur.

Risk factors for endometrial cancer may include obesity, diabetes, family history, prior tamoxifen use, and certain genetic conditions, while uterine sarcoma risk factors can include prior pelvic radiation and other rare inherited syndromes.

May is National Women’s Health Month! 💜

Led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health, this month is a reminder for women of all ages to put their health first.

Your health matters — not just when something feels wrong, but every single day.

This is the perfect time to:
✔ Schedule your annual well-woman exam
✔ Stay up to date on Pap smears and mammograms
✔ Prioritize mental health and stress management
✔ Move your body and fuel it with nourishing foods
✔ Have open conversations about reproductive and sexual health
✔ Know your family history and risk factors

Preventive care saves lives. Early detection makes a difference.

Take a moment this month to check in with yourself and encourage the women in your life to do the same. A small step today can protect your health for years to come.

Taking care of your sexual health is just as important as any other part of your wellness routine — and regular STD testing plays a key role in that care.

Many sexually transmitted infections don’t show symptoms right away (or at all). That means you can feel completely fine and still have an infection that could affect your health or be passed to a partner. The good news? Most STDs are easily treatable when caught early, and testing is simple, confidential, and quick.

We recommend STD testing if you:
• Have a new partner
• Have multiple partners
• Are starting a new relationship
• Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
• Haven’t been tested in the past year

Getting tested is not a sign that something is wrong — it’s a sign that you’re proactive, responsible, and taking control of your health.

If it’s been a while since your last screening, this is your reminder. Your peace of mind is worth it. Call our office today to schedule a confidential STD screening.
