September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. Let's learn about the 5 most common gynecologic cancers.

Cervical cancer symptoms include abnormal vaginal discharge, bleeding after s*x, and pelvic pain. Regular screening and HPV vaccination (recommended from age 9 to 45) can prevent most cases.

For ovarian cancer, which currently has no reliable screening method, watch for persistent bloating, urinary issues, or pelvic pain.

Endometrial cancer, the most common gynecologic cancer, is often treatable when caught early. Unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge can be warning signs.

Vaginal cancer symptoms may include bleeding after s*x, pain, or unusual discharge, while vulvar cancer can present as itching, skin color changes, or abnormal bumps.

Early detection is key. Make sure to schedule regular checkups with your gynecologist.
