Do I need an Endometrial Cancer test?
I'm sorry in advanced if this is a really obvious question, but I was struggling to find an answer. I (22) got diagnosed about a year ago and a big part of why I got diagnosed with PCOS is because I didn't have my period for an entire year before that.
I only found out a month or so ago (from this sub ofc lol) that not having your period for so long increases your cancer risk. And I was hesitant to worry about it because I figured my OGBYN would've mentioned it if she thought I was a risk and maybe she didn't because the tests I got for diagnosing PCOS would've caught it, but actually I'm not sure. I got a pelvic X-Ray and a colposcopy, and I'm pretty sure the blood test and colposcopy wouldn't detect it, but maybe the X-Ray?
Either way, it makes me nervous that something like that was never brought up, even as a 'btw don't worry you didn't get cancer lol'. So all this is to ask if it sounds like I need to message my OBGYN about getting an endometrial cancer test, since I figure other people here have probably had similar situations. Thank you :)
