Endometrial cancer often presents with subtle signs such as unusual vaginal bleeding, abnormal discharge, constant pelvic pain, changes in bathroom habits, and unexplained weight loss. Recognizing these symptoms early and consulting a doctor is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment, especially since there is no screening test for this cancer.

Research conducted by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health suggests that COVID-19 vaccines or the body's response to them may lead to unexpected vaginal bleeding in women across different reproductive stages. The study found that unexpected vaginal bleeding was reported in a significant percentage of postmenopausal, perimenopausal, and premenopausal women, with around half of the cases occurring within 28 days after vaccination. The study also suggests that the type of vaccine may influence the risk of vaginal bleeding, with the Spikevax (Moderna) vaccine associated with a higher risk compared to Comirnaty (Pfizer), particularly in premenopausal women. Further research and surveillance are needed to better understand and address this potential side effect.

A study analyzing data from over 20,000 women has confirmed that the Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca Covid vaccines can cause unexpected vaginal bleeding in older women and women on birth control. The risk of vaginal bleeding increased two to three times in the four weeks after vaccination compared to before the shot, with higher risks for women entering menopause and premenopausal women. While the exact cause is unknown, some experts believe the vaccine may cause inflammation in the body's tissue, leading to changes in the uterus lining and hormone levels. It is important to note that these changes are minor, temporary, and do not impact fertility. Vaginal bleeding in postmenopausal women should be taken seriously as it can be a sign of a serious condition.
