Uterine Cancer has been given an Awareness Month.. June.

Uterine Cancer is also known as Womb Cancer Or Endometrial Cancer.

My battle begin when I was just 24 years old and it still continues till this day.

This cancer is supposedly rare in young people but through this whole process I��ve learnt that so many young people are affected.

I had no clue what to look for regarding the signs or symptoms. This Cancer is rarely talked about, so how are we supposed to know when things go wrong.

Uterine Cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer.

Hearing that C word changes your life.

It’s time to put the spotlight on Uterine Cancer 🧡✨

Following the news that Kate Middleton has in fact been diagnosed with cancer, I’d like the take the time to offer some information on cancer in afab people and some charities to support.

Cancer is a very personal and scary thing to face, and according to Cancer Research UK, every two minutes in the uk someone is diagnosed with cancer. Over 182000 women in the uk are diagnosed every year.

Almost half of all cancer cases are diagnosed at stages 3 & 4, and screening rates for breast and cervical cancers have fallen in the last few years in England and Scotland.

According to The Eve Appeal, around 60 afab people are diagnosed with gynecological cancers alone every day in the uk, and 21 of them will not be able to receive appropriate treatment in time.

People around the world are woefully uneducated about cancer as a whole, but the stigma and lack of proper knowledge given to the public and young afab people about our own bodies means that we often go under diagnosed, or are too afraid or ashamed to see a doctor until it’s too late.

I’ll be listing some informational pages to help people learn about the signs of breast and gynecological cancers that I believe every young person with an afab reproductive system needs to know. On the pages from The Eve Appeal and Breast Cancer UK there is also information for transgender and intersex people.

All of these sites have information on how to identify possible markers of cancer, information on how to get tested, and on how to donate to their charities. I highly suggest everyone regardless of gender identity have a look through to potentially help yourself or a loved one.

PSA to anyone with a cervix: you can ask your GP/gyno for a self administrated PAP smear* for your next routine checkup.

This is new as of last year, but no one told me until I requested a trans masculine doctor after my cismale doctor wrongfully dismissed and belittled my health concerns.

*its not the same as a pap smear actually, but… ASK YOUR DOCTOR!

Is Birth Control a Carcinogen? Yes, but Let’s Break It Down.

Hi, I’m Summer, a cancer epidemiologist specializing in gynecologic cancer and women’s health. I posted this on TikTok back in July 2024 when I was seeing a lot of chatter about birth control being a “class 1 carcinogen." Let’s talk about what that actually means—and why your favorite influencer might be talking about it in bad faith.

This Isn’t Breaking News

First, let’s clear up the idea that this is some shocking new revelation. The link between oral contraceptives and cancer risk isn’t new. Research showing a small association between oral contraceptives and breast or cervical cancer has been around for years—since at least 2007. So, if you suddenly feel blindsided, take a deep breath. The science hasn’t changed overnight.

What Does “Class 1 Carcinogen” Actually Mean?

This is the part that really drives me up the wall: people hear “class 1 carcinogen” and equate it to “high risk of cancer.” That’s not what it means. Class 1 simply refers to the strength of the evidence showing that something can cause cancer—not the magnitude of the risk.

To give you some perspective, processed meats and sunlight are also class 1 carcinogens. Does that mean eating bacon or going outside is as dangerous as smoking? Absolutely not. It just means scientists have enough evidence to classify these things as carcinogenic. The same goes for oral contraceptives—but the risk is small and context matters.

The Pros of Birth Control Outweigh the Cons

Yes, there’s a small increased risk of breast and cervical cancer with birth control. But here’s what often gets left out of the conversation: oral contraceptives also reduce the risk of uterine and ovarian cancer. These protective effects are important and should be considered just as much as the risks associated with breast and cervical cancers.

Here's the kicker: birth control isn’t just about cancer risk. It’s primarily used for contraception and managing gynecologic symptoms, like painful periods or conditions like endometriosis. The benefits for quality of life can’t be overstated. For most people, these pros far outweigh the cons—unless you have specific high-risk factors like a history of blood clots, stroke, or a genetic predisposition to cancer.

Beware of Misinformation

A lot of the anti-birth control content you’re seeing on social media is right-wing propaganda, full stop. By scaring people away from oral contraceptives, these narratives are doing the groundwork for policies that limit folks' access to reproductive healthcare. It’s straight out of the Project 2025 playbook.

People deserve access to treatments that improve their health and autonomy—whether that’s managing period symptoms, treating gynecologic disease, or deciding when (or if) to have kids. Spreading misinformation undermines those rights and does more harm than good.

How to Protect Yourself from Misinformation

If I can leave you with one piece of advice, it’s this: learn how to read a scientific paper. Not just skimming the abstract—really reading it. That’s one of the best tools you can have in an age of misinformation.

Take care of yourself, and don’t let viral posts scare you without digging deeper. If you want sources or have questions, I’m always happy to share the research <3

How to Support a Loved One with Gynecologic Cancer

It’s over.

It’s finally over.

I’m free.

Had my final appointment at the cancer clinic today.  It was a pelvic exam and colposcopy to make sure that I was all healed up inside after the hysterectomy and that there were no traces of any abnormalities.  I’d been anxious about the appointment for WEEKS.

It wasn’t my surgeon who saw me, it was one of her associates, but she was so kind and understanding and empathetic that I felt good about it going into the procedure. The procedure itself was super un-fun given how one of the symptoms of menopause is vaginal dryness/atrophy.  All the lube in the world didn’t make that speculum go in any easier and it hurt like hell, but once it was in place it was fine.

After a thorough look and feel and a LOT of anxiety on my part, the doctor pronounced me fully healed and fit to return to all activities.  She said that there is no need for them to see me again, that this is it, but that if I have any concerns come up or any questions in the future or issues related to any pelvic health, to give them a call back and they’d take me back on without question.

That said, though, I never need another pelvic exam.  I never need another pap test.  I never need to deal with all of the menstrual bullshit again.  I can bid cancer goodbye and good riddance.

It’s actually, finally over.

(Inspired by this post, but separate to avoid derailing.)

I’m going to get more personal here than I would really like to, but I know a lot of other people have had awful gynecologist experiences, and I hope sharing both the negative and positive experiences could help.  

I have had three Pap smears. The first two were traumatic, not in a hyperbolic way but in an “I cried about them to my therapist when trying to face the idea of having to get another one and she specifically called it medical trauma” kind of way. 

For me, they were extremely painful, and I was told “no it isn’t,” both by the doctors in the moment and by everything I was able to look up about Pap smears afterwards. Counterintuitively, I was also told that if it was painful, it was because I was doing something wrong. The only people I saw saying Pap smears hurt were other women who had had terrible gynecologist appointments and who were also planning on never going back.

After my first experience, I did what you are supposed to and warned my next doctor that my last experience was painful. Some warning signs that I should have left and found a different doctor include that she acted inconvenienced by that idea, and then was actively annoyed by my admission that I’d never had penis-in-vagina sex, because that would presumably have made it easier to insert the speculum. I went through with the procedure with her anyway, and she somehow couldn’t reach my cervix at first and guilted me for it while actively rooting around in my vagina. I felt like I had to go through with it once it had started, but I kind of wish I had exercised my rights and called it quits. Which is something you can absolutely do. If you’re uncomfortable with the way your doctor is talking to you, or if you think something is going wrong and your doctor is ignoring your needs, you can call off the whole thing and go somewhere else.

Aside from the physical pain and misplaced blame, in both of my bad experiences I was explicitly told that part of the problem was that I wasn’t having “real sex” (referring, of course, to penis-in-vagina sex). If anyone ever asks, I will confidently tell them that the most homophobic experiences I’ve had have been in the gynecologist’s office. 

After years of being nagged by my primary care doctor and multiple therapy appointments, I researched my options and was able to find a specifically LGBTQ+ aligned clinic. In my research, I also found that, while gynecologists seem to understand and discuss the need for trauma-informed practice, it is hard to find gynecologists who describe themselves as trauma informed.

At my third Pap smear, I explained my past experiences to the doctor. After listening, the doctor gave me a list of options that could suit a variety of comfort levels. These included a traditional Pap smear, the doctor trying to swab my cervix without using a speculum, and me self administering the test in private, also without a speculum. I chose the last one, and she gave me a swab and detailed instructions on what to do. The only risk to this approach was the possibility that I might not get a usable sample. In that case, I would have to come back to the office to try again. I was able to get a usable sample on the first try, and it was so quick and easy that I’m honestly baffled that this isn’t how Pap smears are usually administered.

Some green flags at this appointment included that I was given space to explain my past experiences, I was not criticized or judged for those experiences, and the conversation about what I needed happened before any move toward the exam table. In fact, that doctor never even touched me. I was also given clear explanations of my options, and the doctor explicitly included the option of leaving the office without getting a Pap smear at all.

Pap smears do not have to be painful or traumatic, and I’m angry that I had to have the first two experiences before the third. I understand that there is probably a reason the traditional method is preferred, but I strongly believe that by actually presenting patients with options and treating us with respect, getting a Pap smear can become a significantly less awful experience. And if patients don’t feel dehumanized and abused for experiencing pain during an objectively unpleasant procedure, they might actually get the tests done. 

I have been one of the women who considered just never getting any more Pap smears, in spite of the risks, and I’m glad I had an experience that changed my mind. I hope others who have had negative experiences, or even who are worried about it, are given the choices I was and are able to advocate for themselves and be heard and respected.

I don't know if this is your department but what would happen if a complete hysterectomy was medically necessary (cancer) in the middle of puberty?

Hi Anon,

This is technically not my department - a patient undergoing this would be under the care of a gynecologic oncologist, and a fertility specialist will also probably be a part of the team.

That said, I can discuss the physiology of what would happen:

Uterine cancer in an adolescent is exceedingly rare, and a total hysterectomy would be a treatment only of last resort. The result of a hysterectomy is that the person would become unable to become pregnant.

If the uterus is taken but the ovaries are spared, the person would still go through puberty as normal, developing female secondary sex characteristics, but they would just never menstruate. They would still ovulate, and could theoretically produce a biological child using in vitro fertilization (when eggs are retrieved surgically and fertilized outside the body) and a surrogate to carry the pregnancy.

If both ovaries also had to be removed in addition to the uterus (exceedingly, very very, super rare), the young person would become permanently sterile (no more eggs), and need to receive estrogen hormone replacement therapy to ensure proper growth and health. Estrogen isn't just responsible for the menstrual cycle or for feminizing features - it's also important for bone and cardiovascular health.

For those who are wondering how rare this is:

The annual incidence (how many people per year get a thing) of gynecologic cancers in adolescents (age <18) is 6.7 per MILLION. Of those, 87.5% are of the ovary and only 2.5% are of the uterus. So, out of a MILLION adolescent AFABs, 5.6 people will get ovarian cancer, and 0.2 will get uterine cancer.

That's 2 out of 10 MILLION!

The good news is the survival rates for these cancers is very high!

If this is your situation, Anon, I am very sorry to hear about it. I wish you good health and excellent care!

Cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide and  can affect women of all ages. However, it is most often diagnosed in women between  35 and years of age.

 Causes of cervical cancer:

 The main cause of cervical cancer is infection with  human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted virus. There are more than 100 different types of HPV, and some types can cause cervical cancer. Other factors that can increase the risk of  cervical cancer include smoking,  a weakened immune system,  a family history of cervical cancer, and  multiple sexual partners. 

 Symptoms of cervical cancer:

 Cervical cancer does not necessarily cause symptoms in its early stages. As the cancer progresses, symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or discomfort, pain during intercourse, and unusual vaginal discharge. It is important to note that these symptoms can be caused by other diseases, so it is important to consult a doctor to get a proper diagnosis. 

 Prevention and early detection of cervical cancer:

 The most effective way to prevent cervical cancer is  the HPV vaccine. The HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that cause most cases of cervical cancer, as well as against other types of HPV that can cause other types of cancer. The vaccine is recommended for  males and females between  9 and 26 years of age.

 Regular cervical cancer screening is also important for early detection. A Pap test is a test that checks for abnormal cells on the cervix. It is recommended that women start regular Pap tests from the age of 21. In addition, the new  HPV test can also detect the presence of the virus that causes cervical cancer. Women should discuss with their healthcare provider which exams are right for them. 

 Treatment of cervical cancer:

 Treatment of cervical cancer depends on the stage of the cancer and other factors such as the woman's age and general health. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these treatments.

  In summary, cervical cancer is a common female cancer  that can be prevented by vaccination and detected early by regular screening. Women should consult with their health care provider to determine  appropriate screening and vaccination. If cervical cancer is diagnosed, early treatment can lead to a better outcome.

1. Regular Screening & Pap Smear Tests

Regular Pap smears and HPV tests can help detect precancerous changes in the cervix. Women above 21 years should undergo routine screening as per medical recommendations.

If you experience persistent symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, pain, or discharge, consult a specialist immediately for an accurate diagnosis.
