Question 3

i was biopsied for uterine cancer now i am finding bruising in odd places like right next to my pelvic region on my upper inner leg, what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Check with your doc: most likely it is not related to you biopsy 
you could be having low platelet or condition that will make you bruise easy
so it will be a good idea if you are taking aspirin
stop it or if you are taking any blood thinner stop it and check with your doctor
some vitamin and supplement could cause bleeding like vitamin E for example
check with your doctor any way for a good peace of mind

Question 4

a year of night sweats lower back pain weight loss anaemia heavy periods and pelvic /hip pain. i'm miserable. uterine cancer??

Accepted Answer

Possibly, but...: Uterine cancer seldom causes night sweats.  Lymphoma can.  Obviously, you need the kind of complete evaluation you cannot get here online.

Question 5

have pelvic pain and  nausea. will ct with contrast show ovarian/uterine cancer if present?

Accepted Answer

CT: CT is an overall good way to image the abdomen and pelvis, but a pelvic ultrasound is more affordable and also does not involve the use of radiation. A biopsy of the endometrium (uterine wall) is done if the ultrasound shows anything suspicious (increased endometrial thickness). A CA-125 test may also help.

Question 6

breast cancer and uterine cancer in my family. i have back/leg with ovarian volume at 49ml, 19mmthicken endomet wall. constipation and pelvic pain?

Accepted Answer

Get tested.: I can't tell you what your doctor should do, but i would be aggressive with you. You didn't give enough info to say much. How old are you? You have a family history of breast &/or ovarian cancer: who are they? One side of the family or both. Have you had genetic testing? Talk to your doctor about these issues.

Question 7

32 yo- periods nml 7 days & heavy. last 2 were light and 3-5 days. preg neg- pelvic exam & pap 1 mo ago nml. ct of ab &pelvis nml 2 mos ago. should i be worried? could this be ovarian cancer or uterine cancer? what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See below: Being obsessed about cancer is not helpful. Take oral iron and vitamins to prevent anemia from heavy periods.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 8

whats the chances of me having ovarian cancer or endometrial cancer.. pelvic pain & abnormal spotting on and off. 19, black, overweight, pcos?

Accepted Answer

Remote: You symptoms are very unlikely to be due to cancer. Hormonal imbalance is the likely explanation. Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
