Dr. Paul Nowicki answered

Specializes in Gynecologic Oncology

See a doctor: You should see a gynecologist, these symptoms should be worked up. Usually the evaluation would include a pelvic exam , ultrasound of ovaries and uterus and endometrial biopsy. It is important to rule out endometrial cancer or an ovarian tumor.
