4. Endometrial Cancer
Medical science refers to cancer of the uterus as “endometrial.” The womb is the pear-shaped organ found in the pelvis, and it’s responsible for fetal development. Endometrial cancer occurs when the cells in the lining of the uterus start to experience mutation.
Sometimes called “uterine cancer,” this condition is easy for doctors to identify and diagnosis usually occurs in the early stages of the disease when it’s treatable. Other forms of cancer, such as uterine sarcoma, are far less common than the endometrial type, and far more aggressive.
If detected early, doctors can cure endometrial cancer by removing the uterus. Symptoms of the disease include bleeding or “spotting” at irregular times in-between periods, as well as severe pain in the pelvic region that may spread to the lower back.
If your doctor provides you with an endometrial cancer diagnosis, they may conduct further tests to check for signs of LS.
