Is any of this happening?
Be seen today
Arrange a prompt medical appointment for:
Any bleeding or spotting after menopause
Bleeding between periods or after sex
Periods that become unusually heavy, prolonged, or unpredictable
Persistent watery or blood-stained discharge
Continuing pelvic pain, pressure, or abdominal swelling
These symptoms often have causes other than cancer, but they should not be ignored.
If an initial test is reassuring but bleeding continues or returns, seek reassessment.
Seek urgent medical care for very heavy bleeding, especially if you feel weak, dizzy, or short of breath.
During cancer treatment, follow your care team’s urgent instructions for fever, uncontrolled vomiting, sudden leg swelling, or new shortness of breath.

And for anyone, someone who:
has noticed a lump, a mole that has changed, or unexplained weight loss
Every sign above is quoted from the sofidex article on Endometrial cancer. If you are not sure, err upward — it is always reasonable to be checked.
