Bloating or abdominal discomfort
Bloating or abdominal discomfort can be symptoms of endometrial cancer, although they are not the most common or specific symptoms associated with this type of cancer. In some cases, abdominal bloating or a feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen may occur. This sensation may be similar to the bloating experienced during menstruation or due to gastrointestinal issues.
Endometrial cancer can spread to nearby structures in the pelvis, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the peritoneum. When this happens, it can cause pelvic pain, discomfort, or bloating. In advanced cases of endometrial cancer, the cancer cells can seed the peritoneal cavity, accumulating fluid called ascites. Ascites can cause abdominal distension, discomfort, and a feeling of fullness or bloating.
