Womb cancer symptoms most women ignore

WOMB cancer is the fourth most common type of the disease in women in the UK.
But worryingly, many have no idea what the most common symptoms are, meaning it's often found at a late stage.
Almost 10,000 people are diagnosed every year. Around 2,500 die.
Of those told they have womb cancer early, 90 per cent survive.
But only one in five patients will live beyond five years if it isn't detected until the disease is in an advanced stage.
Campaigners believe the survival rate would improve dramatically if people could identify the key warning signs.
The Eve Appeal and Peaches Womb Cancer Trust are encouraging Brits to 'spot check' the gaps in their knowledge after finding almost a quarter of people have never heard of womb cancer and only 43 per cent know to look out for blood.
This includes learning that the following symptoms need to be checked out:
Bleeding after sex
'Blood-stained' vaginal discharge (which can be pink, red or brown)
Blood in the urine (haematuria)
Bleeding between periods (before the menopause)
Periods that are heavier than normal (before the menopause)
Any vaginal bleeding after the menopause (including spotting)
Abdominal pain
