When people think of cancer, factors such as genetics and family history often come to mind.
However, for endometrial cancer, everyday lifestyle choices can also play a significant role.
Understanding these risk factors can help women make informed decisions about their health.
Endometrial cancer, which begins in the endometrium, that is, the inner lining of the uterus, is one of the most common gynaecological cancers in developed countries.
Over the past several years, its incidence has been rising in India.
It is mostly diagnosed after menopause, but other conditions can also increase risk.
