thisisGO.ie is an online personalised resource for you and yours who have been impacted by a gynaecological cancer.
Gynaecological cancers refer to any cancer of the female reproductive system which includes the uterus (womb), the ovaries, the cervix (the neck of the womb), the vulva (the outer part of the female genitals) or the vagina.
Each gynaecological cancer has different symptoms. We invite you to watch our webinar created for World Gynaecological Oncology Day 2024 highlighting the signs and symptoms of the 5 gynaecological cancers and prevention strategies. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms in the chart below for more than two weeks, please make an appointment to see your doctor to discuss further. You may feel embarrassed discussing some of these symptoms, this is normal, your doctor is here to help, and it may save your life.
