Postmenopausal bleeding in particular should always be investigated. Any bleeding between cycles, even if it’s light, deserves your attention.
🎈 12. Chronic Bloating or a Swollen Abdomen
Feeling bloated all the time—even when you’re not overeating—can sometimes point to uterine issues. Uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts can cause abdominal distension or pressure.
If your clothes suddenly feel tighter or your belly looks visibly larger, don’t assume it’s just bloating. Rule out uterine growths with a professional exam to ensure peace of mind.
🩺 What You Should Do If You Notice These Symptoms
Listening to your body is the first step toward healing. If you recognize one or more of these signs, take action early. Many uterine issues are treatable when caught in time.
Make an appointment with a gynecologist for a pelvic exam or ultrasound. These tools can help detect fibroids, cysts, or structural abnormalities in the uterus. Blood tests may also help reveal hormonal imbalances.
Tracking your cycle with a menstrual app or journal can provide useful patterns to share with your doctor. The more information you can offer, the better your diagnosis will be.
