Summarize:

See your health care provider if you have any of the signs or symptoms listed or are concerned that you might have uterine cancer. It's always better to be safe than sorry. It might be a good idea to ask a friend to go with you to your appointment. They can be there for moral support, to help you remember the information the doctor gives you, and to ask questions that you may forget in the moment. Make sure you prepare for your appointment ahead of time by researching your symptoms, keeping track of your symptoms, and writing down any questions you may have. It is important to ask your doctor questions when you consult with him or her about your concerns regarding uterine cancer. Doing research on your own is a great way to find out some preliminary information, but getting information directly from your doctor is more beneficial. If you often have trouble remembering all of the questions you want to ask, write your questions down ahead of time as you think of them so you'll be sure to ask all the right things when you're discussing it with your doctor. You can also take notes during your appointment with the doctor so that you will be able to accurately recall all of the information later. There is also no simple and trustworthy way to test for uterine cancer in women who are symptom-free. The Pap test (also known as Pap smear) does not check for uterine cancer. If you do have signs or symptoms of the cancer, your health care provider may perform one or more of the following tests: Pelvic exam Transvaginal ultrasound Endometrial biopsy Pap test (to test for other possible causes) Once you have tracked all of your symptoms, discussed your symptoms with your doctor, and undergone any testing your doctor deems necessary, your doctor should be able to give you an accurate diagnosis about whether or not you have uterine cancer. Keep in mind that your doctor may need to do some tests on your before they can make a definitive decision about your symptoms.
Prepare for your appointment. Ask questions. Know what to expect. Get a diagnosis.
