Like all organs in the body, the female reproductive system is made up of cells. Gynaecological cancers begin when these cells grow uncontrollably and form abnormal tissue.
The symptoms of gynaecological cancers vary depending on the affected organ. While these symptoms do not always indicate cancer, persistent or unusual changes should never be ignored and should be evaluated by a gynaecologist as early as possible.
Abnormal bleeding or discharge, especially after menopause or between menstrual periods.
Persistent pain, pressure, or discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvic region.
Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse that persists or worsens over time.
Ongoing itching, irritation, or skin changes around the vulva or vaginal opening.
