See a gynecologist: It is unlikely to be uterine cancer at age 32 but not impossible. More likely is a fibroid, polyp or hormone imbalance which can be easily managed by a gynecologist. You should definitely get it evaluated and most likely all that will happen initially is a painless ultrasound on the first visit.
