September is Womb Cancer Awareness Month.

We all know there's a lot of good work done to raise awareness of women's cancers such as breast, cervical and ovarian, but there's another cancer all women need to be aware of: womb cancer.

On average, up to 1900 women die from womb cancer each year in the UK. Although the stereotype is overweight/obese post-menopausal women, womb cancer can affect women of all ages and sizes.

Womb cancer is easier to treat when caught early but there is currently no screening programme - smear (pap) tests aren't designed to pick up womb cancer and a negative smear result doesn't rule it out, so be sure to tell your GP about any unusual symptoms connected with your monthly cycle, or after menopause.
