What is Gynecologic Cancer? 

Gynecologic cancer refers to cancers that originate in the female reproductive system. These cancers can affect the cervix, ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva.

Symptoms vary depending on the type of cancer but may include abnormal bleeding or discharge, pelvic pain or pressure, changes in bathroom habits, and unexplained weight loss. Recognizing these signs early can be crucial for prompt medical attention and effective management. 

Common Risk Factors for Gynecologic Cancer 

Understanding the factors that can increase the risk of gynecologic cancers can help women make informed choices about their health. Here are some common risk factors to consider: 

• Age: Advancing age increases the likelihood of developing certain types of gynecologic cancers. 

• Family history: A family history of gynecologic cancers can elevate individual risk. 

• Personal history: Previous instances of gynecologic cancer or certain reproductive conditions may increase susceptibility. 

• Obesity: Being overweight or obese can contribute to a higher risk. 

• Smoking: Tobacco use has been linked to various gynecologic cancers.
