June is Uterine (womb) Cancer Awareness Month, led by IGCSociety and International Gynecologic Cancer Advocacy Network

Here are five things we want everyone to know about womb cancer.

1- It’s the 4th most common cancer in women. 9,500 new cases are diagnosed each year in the UK.

2- It is most commonly diagnosed post-menopause, but it can happen to anyone with a womb at any age.

3- Womb cancer is on the increase in the UK. The number of people being diagnosed has increased by 12% in the last 10 years.

4- Most womb cancers begin in the womb lining.

5- Cancer of the womb may be called several different names by your healthcare professional including uterine cancer (the medical name for the womb is uterus), or endometrial cancer which is a cancer of the lining of the womb.

Did you know that the most common symptom of womb cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding?

But when exactly is vaginal bleeding 'abnormal' and needs to get checked:
-Bleeding after the menopause, like blood in discharge (pink, brown, red)
-Bleeding between periods
-Bleeding that is unusually heavy for you
-Vaginal discharge that is blood-stained

ANY post-menopausal bleed or blood stained discharge is abnormal. It is important to get any new bleeding checked by your GP. It is more likely to be caused by something less serious than cancer, but it is always worth getting checked. Just in case. The earlier womb cancer is caught, the best possible chance you will have of successful treatment.

For peri and post-menopausal women and people with gynae organs it can take a while to know the new ‘normal’ for your bleeding pattern and vaginal discharge. If you aren’t sure, do speak to your GP or practice nurse. You can also contact our Ask Eve nurses for free and confidential information.

There are five gynaecological cancers: womb, ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal.

Today, 60 women and people with gynae organs in the UK will hear the devastating news they have one of these cancers, and 21 will die because of the gynae cancer they were diagnosed with.

Each year, that’s thousands of lives lost to cancers that most people don’t know enough about, are rarely discussed, and receive nowhere near enough research funding.

At The Eve Appeal, we’re determined to change this unacceptable situation. Our aim is to prevent gynae cancers from developing in the first place, but if they do develop, we want to make sure they’re detected early so more people survive their diagnosis.

To make our goals a reality, we fund research that aims to identify the causes of gynae cancers, predict and reduce a person’s risk of developing them, and improve their detection and diagnosis.

We also educate people about their gynaecological health and anatomy and the signs and symptoms of gynae cancers. And we answer people’s questions about their gynae health and gynae cancers through our Ask Eve nurse service.

But, as an organisation that depends on the generosity of people like you, we can only do this with your help.

Thank you so much to everyone who has joined us and Got Lippy and loud about gynaecological cancers all through May!

With your support we have raised awareness of the symptoms of the five gynae cancers and raised money for research to stop these cancers before they start.

A particularly big thank you to all of our partners who supported this month including our event sponsors and founding partners Sculpted By Aimee, Palmolive, Elemis, Centrum_uk, Tesco and Cosmetic Executive Women UK.

And a big thank you to all of you who shared our gynae health information, joined in on Get Lippy Day or bought any of our Get Lippy products.

💋We couldn’t have done it without you all!

Zoe talks about how it feels as someone with experience of vulval cancer to have awareness posts about vulval health and cancer censored on social media.

A huge thanks to Jane and Zoe for coming to Westminster with us to speak to about this issue ahead of her debate on ending the censorship of gynae health information.

29/05/2026

When Zoe was diagnosed with the vulval diseases lichen sclerosus and lichen planus and vulval cancer, she was given very little information to understand what was happening to her body.

She found information online from places like The Eve Appeal and the LS and vulval cancer support group on Facebook .

She has been using social media to raise awareness of vulval cancer and has had her experiences censored.

We will be meeting with soon to discuss their community standards and how we can ensure life-saving health information isn’t censored.

🩸It's Menstrual Health Day! Are you keeping track of your periods?

Unexpected changes to your periods and vaginal bleeding can be a sign something is wrong. It can also be a symptom of three of the five gynae cancers: womb, cervical and vaginal, and sometimes some rarer forms of ovarian cancer.

Whilst the majority of people who experience any abnormal bleeding won’t have cancer, it’s still important to always get anything that is unusual for you checked out by your GP.

If you have periods, keep a note of them so you can see what your regular/normal period patterns look like. There are many different apps that people use to track their periods and/or fertility, but you can simply just make a note in your diary if that’s easier.

You could use one red dot for ‘light flow’, two red dots for a medium flow and so on. This visual aid will help you compare/track your period month to month.

If you don’t have periods, but any other vaginal bleeding, do track that too.

Regularly check back over your last few entries so that you can spot and report any changes.

What to track and look out for:
Don’t disregard very heavy and/or very painful periods.

What counts as a heavy period? Everyone is different and will have a different period, losing different amounts of blood, but generally speaking:
-Heavy bleeding for 7 days or more
-Pain/heavy flow that disrupts your daily activities
-If you need to change your tampon/pad every 1-2 hours or
-You need to use 2 period products at the same time
-If you have to get up during the night to change your products.

Heavy periods can happen for lots of reasons, including change in pregnancy status (miscarriage), hormonal contraception change, endometriosis and fibroids, so if something like that happens e.g. change in contraception it can take a few months to settle down, but very heavy and painful periods should be checked out.

It’s unlikely to be caused by cancer, but it is also not something we should just put up with or think of as ‘one of those things’ or ‘women’s problems’.
