Symptoms of Endometrial Uterine Cancer - 326 | Menopause Taylor

Do you know the typical symptoms of endometrial uterine cancer? And do you know which ones are early symptoms versus those that are late symptoms? Knowing this stuff can make the difference between recognizing endometrial uterine cancer early enough to treat and cure it and failing to do so. I’ll teach you all about it in this video.

My mother had to fight with her gynecologist 40 years ago when she was perimenopausal and started bleeding. He maintained it was only a sign of menopause. But her instinct told her it was abnormal. More profound exams confirmed she was right : very early endometrial carcinoma. Surgergical hysterectomy. She lived up to 88.

[@mariatolentino8243]

Thanks for this assuring reply. I'm so worried that after having a hysterectomy two years ago it can affect how longer I will live.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You see, when you advocate for yourself, you win! I applaud your mom.

[@gabrimenini4464]

@@mariatolentino8243 happy to have been of some comfort and reassurance. Prevention is key😊

I was 55, still having cycles, spotting all the time and in excruciating pain for over 3 years. My GYN just told me it was my way of experiencing Perimenopause after my ultrasound didn't show anything. My periods became super heavy, with clots. And then I started hemorrhaging. I was rushed to hospital and had an emergency radical hysterectomy for a stage 2, 8 cm! endometrial cancer. I had to have 6 blood transfusions and almost lost my life. If anything feels off, please keep insisting on getting checked properly, and get a second or even third opinion. It could save your life! I'm lucky to be here.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

This is what my menopause education can prevent. Knowing how to recognize things before they become an emergency can be lifesaving.

[@lisaolah7477]

You are a master at your craft!!! Thank you for providing this education to all of us :)

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Well, that is such a kind compliment. Thank YOU!

[@yvettebennett6170]

Hello Dr Taylor. I am still here watching your videos in order. I dont have a uterus so I dont have a lot to say. But I did enjoy the sloughin the stuffin comment. This video makes sense. Bleeding when you shouldn't bleed is a great clue to remember about this cancer. Thank you as always for this education.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are so very welcome, my dear. And learning this stuff will still be important for later videos, I promise.

[@dmm5022]

Very helpful video- thank you. Who else would provide such important and useful information? All women should watch this.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

My big dream is for all women to get this entire education in their 20s!

[@cm1906]

Despite it being a video about the “basics” of endometrial uterine cancer, there are just so many valuable pieces of information that one otherwise does not get when asking “google”, in my experience! This lecture felt so balanced - the important facts, “positives” to know, no scaremongering … Thank you, Dr Taylor! 🥰🌸

[@mcanultymichelle]

I think all her videos are valuable ,lv learned so much and am working on doing something about my menopause.lf l didn’t come across her videos l would of gone on with my symptoms.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts. I just love making these videos for you.

I consulted with Dr. Taylor 4 years ago. Recently, I insisted on getting biote hormones and I am taking progesterone by mouth. I still have my uterus and ovaries. Two weeks into it, I feel so much better already. I will be setting up another follow up with Dr. Taylor. Thank you

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I just love knowing that this education and my consultation are making a positive difference in your life.

[@EffSharp]

You are amazing. I just had an unexpected biopsy after presenting with almost all of those symptoms. Waiting on results and you gave me all the info I needed and forgot to ask at my appointment. ❤️

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME after you have all your diagnostic data and can upload it to the questionnaire. I'll help you make sense of it.

[@karenb3662]

This important information is so comforting. Thank you.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are so very welcome, my dear.

What a Gorgeous blouse and the hat you have! Love your outfit. As far as this subject, why my 2 gynecologists could not explain this in 5 simple minutes to me??? Either they do not know themselves or they don’t care for a patient to know. I appreciate you so much!

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Most doctors do not know how to "translate" our medical lingo into lay terminology. In addition, they don't invest any time in doing so during office visits. It's a real shame. And that's why I give this education to you. It empowers you to advocate for yourself.

[@stuffstuffstuffyay]

I had endometrial cancer stage 1. It took my doc 3 years of me complaining about bleeding to figure it out. My bleeding was pretty extreme- I ended up badly anemic. Instead of my normal periods of heavy, heavy, med, light, light, I would get a HEAVY flood! All of a sudden, unexpectedly. The blood was a little on the clear side too. Then it would go normal blood the next day but heavy for 2-3 days. it might go light then heavy again too- with large clots. Strange, and I told my doctor so. But she kept saying this was normal perimenopause. It got to the point that I had a really sore lower back too, and a feeling of something in there when bouncing around at Zumba. I thought ah !! Fibroids, and was determined to get my doc to do an ultra sound at the next visit. She did, for the first time. at this exam feel the mass, and off I went for an ultrasound and it came up on the scan. I had thought the year before to ask for an ultrasound, but didn't follow through because I was so relieved to hear her say don't worry its peri-menopause. I wish I had asked for it, and now I ask for everything at every twinge lol. Anyway they got it all out last year, (lime size) and I'm doing fine. Moral of story, if in doubt ask for an ultrasound!

I had no bleeding whatsoever. Only had some intermittent shooting pain in lower left abdomen for a couple of days. That was it. I already had scheduled an appointment with a new gynecologist prior to this so when I saw her about a month later just thought I’d mention the pain. She ordered a vaginal and abdominal ultrasound. Showed thickness in the uterine wall. Set things in mention and turned out to be uterine cancer. Had a total hysterectomy. Age at diagnosis was 66. Oh and wasn’t on any HRT.

You would benefit from a consultation with me. This is precisely the kind of thing for which I do one-on-one consultations. You definitely need one. I cannot tailor things specifically to you in a comment box. It requires much more information than you can give me here, and you deserve much more information than I can give you here. No two women are alike, and addressing your situation requires tailoring all the facts specifically to YOU. I do them all via online video conferencing. You can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I look forward to meeting you and helping you.

Hello Dr Barb, I'm 61 At age 55 I had a ablation for heavy bleeding. I was on Duavee from age 55 to 57, then it was discontinued. I tried to tough out my menopause symptoms. In march this year at age 61, I went on estratest to help with low libido, and hot flashes, that did not work out so I was prescribed 2mg of estradiol and 100mg of micronized progesterone. I then watched all of your vids and learned since I was ablated, I did not need to take progesterone. So after I dropped the progesterone June this year, I started getting symptoms of on coming period, then spotting, then in August a full on super heavy period. Went to the doc who did uterine ultrasound and discovered uterine lining at 12mm. Then was advised to lower dose of estradiol to 1mg, and restart the progesterone again (100mg) Went back 40 days later and uterine lining down to 7mm, which doctor is ok with. Bleeding has stopped with exception of some spotting. I am concerned I may have caused the uterine lining with unopposed estrogen, and now could be at risk for uterine cancer. Help

Hi Barbie, started estradiol patch .05 was on 3 weeks went up to .1 and got swelling, fluid retention under my eyes. My doctor has never seen this before, have you addressed this on any of your videos? Did I over look it? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated 😢

Your body needs time to adjust watch your salt intake, make sure you stay active take potassium (helps with water retention)

[@bellarosita100]

@@juleszimmer1210 Hi, how much potassium would help?

[@theworldofjuniperthecat1307]

Take vitamin b3. It help relieve water retention.

[@manuelilla5949]

most gynecologists, when you go with a bleeding, do not do hysteroscopy. They don't have the training, they don't have the equipment.10 years ago I went to the gynecologist for abnormal bleeding and they gave me the contraceptive to control them. Today I still have abnormal bleeding and pain when sitting down...I'm going to have a hysterectomy, but I'm afraid of the worst

Thank you for your lovely video! It is so helpful as aways! If you have a slightly spotty-not really bleeding and was to doctors for all kind of internal and external exams,the lining of the endometrium after menopause is still thin less than 4 mn is this reassuring and could be Vaginal atrophy?
