GYN Cancer Symptoms

If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your gynecologist IMMEDIATELY. Early detection is the best chance for a full recovery with minimal treatment! Please remember that early stage cancers often show no symptoms, and that many of these symptoms are ambiguous. PLEASE see your gynecologist for annual Pap smears. And listen to your body - you know it best. If something feels wrong, seek help, and do not stop until you get some answers.
