  2. Amenorrhea, lack of a menstrual period for more than 90 days, and you are not entering menopause
  3. Menorrhagia, excessive bleeding greater than 80 milliliters (more than 16 soaked sanitary pads or 1/3 cup of blood) during the regularly expected menstrual period OR
  4. Metrorrhagia, irregular uterine bleeding between expected menstrual periods OR
  5. Menometrorrhagia, heavy and irregular uterine bleeding during the expected menstrual period and also at irregular, unexpected intervals OR
  6. Polymenorrhea, bleeding too frequently, less than every 21 days OR
  7. Post menopausal bleeding (PMB), when a woman over 40 who has not bled for at least 18 months resumes bleeding, AND her doctor has verified her menopause through blood tests for hormone levels
  8. Difficult urination

Well advanced uterine cancer causes pelvic pain, loss of appetite (anorexia), weight loss, and bowel and bladder changes.
