Irregular Periods: Persistent changes in menstrual cycles can sometimes signal underlying health issues, including certain cancers.
Heavy Bleeding: Abnormal bleeding or spotting between periods may be a sign of uterine or cervical cancer.
Menopause Symptoms: Early menopause or severe symptoms may require evaluation to rule out cancer risks.
Screenings: Regular gynecological check-ups and screenings are essential for early detection of cancers affecting menstrual health.
