COMMON SYMPTOMS

Symptoms of Gynecological Cancers

Gynecological cancers often develop silently during the early stages. While many symptoms may be caused by non-cancerous conditions, persistent or unexplained changes should never be ignored. Early consultation with a gynecologic oncology specialist can help ensure timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

01

Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding

Bleeding after menopause, between menstrual periods, or after sexual intercourse should always be evaluated by a specialist.

02

Persistent Pelvic Pain

Continuous pelvic discomfort, pressure, or unexplained pain lasting several weeks requires medical assessment.

03

Abdominal Bloating

Frequent bloating, abdominal swelling, or feeling full quickly can sometimes be associated with ovarian cancer.

04

Changes in Urination

Frequent urination, urgency, or difficulty emptying the bladder without infection may require further evaluation.

05

Persistent Vaginal Discharge

Unusual discharge with an unpleasant odour, blood, or persistent changes should not be ignored.

06

Pain During Intercourse

Persistent pain during sexual intercourse may indicate an underlying gynecological condition that requires assessment.

07

Loss of Appetite

Feeling full after eating small amounts of food or experiencing unexplained appetite loss may require further investigation.

08

Unexplained Weight Loss

Significant weight loss without changes in diet or exercise should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional.

When Should You See an Oncologist?

If any of these symptoms persist for more than two weeks or worsen over time, seek medical advice promptly. Early diagnosis can improve treatment options and outcomes.

EARLY DETECTION MATTERS

Risk Factors & Diagnosis of Gynecological Cancers

While not every woman with a risk factor develops gynecological cancer, understanding your personal risk and recognising early symptoms can help with timely diagnosis and treatment. Our specialists perform comprehensive clinical evaluations and recommend appropriate investigations based on individual risk factors and symptoms.

Who May Be at Higher Risk?

  • Family history of ovarian, breast or endometrial cancer
  • Inherited genetic mutations such as BRCA1, BRCA2 or Lynch syndrome
  • Persistent HPV infection (especially cervical cancer)
  • Increasing age, particularly after menopause
  • Obesity and metabolic disorders
  • Hormonal and reproductive factors
  • Smoking and tobacco use
  • Previous history of gynecological precancerous conditions

How Are Gynecological Cancers Diagnosed?

Clinical Examination

A detailed consultation and pelvic examination performed by an oncology specialist.

Ultrasound Scan

Pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound help evaluate the uterus, ovaries and surrounding structures.

Pap Smear & HPV Testing

Recommended for cervical cancer screening and detection of precancerous changes.

Biopsy

Tissue samples are examined under a microscope to confirm the diagnosis.

CT Scan / MRI / PET-CT

Advanced imaging helps determine the stage of the disease and assists in treatment planning.

Blood Tests & Tumour Markers

Selected tumour markers, such as CA-125, may support diagnosis and treatment monitoring in appropriate clinical situations.

PERSONALISED TREATMENT

🏥

Gynecologic Cancer Surgery

Surgery remains an important treatment option for many gynecological cancers. Depending on the diagnosis and stage, procedures may include hysterectomy, lymph node assessment, ovarian surgery and tumour removal. Whenever appropriate, minimally invasive surgical techniques may be considered.

💉

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy may be recommended before surgery, after surgery or for advanced disease. Treatment plans are individualised to maximise effectiveness while supporting quality of life.

🎯

Targeted Therapy

Selected patients may benefit from targeted therapies based on tumour biology and molecular testing. These medicines are prescribed only when clinically appropriate.

🛡️

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy may be an option for certain gynecological cancers based on tumour characteristics and current treatment guidelines.

☢️

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy uses advanced planning techniques to accurately target cancer while minimising exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
