September is #GynaecologicalCancerAwarenessMonth. Swipe to learn the key symptoms of the five gynaecological cancers.
Knowing what’s normal for you can help you spot changes.
Having any of these symptoms doesn't mean you have cancer, but it’s important to get checked by a GP.

ALT Copy reads: 'Key symptoms of gynaecological cancers: unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge, including any bleeding after the menopause; persistent bloating, feeling full more quickly or nausea; a persistent itch, lump or changes to the vulval skin or vagina; unexplained lower back, abdominal or pelvic pain'. NHS logo is in the top right corner. An arrow to encourage swiping is in the bottom left corner.
