- Your family history of breast, ovarian, or other cancers.
- Other symptoms you may have, such as:
- Abnormal discharge from your vagina.
- Irregular menstrual cycles or bleeding after sex.

- Urinary problems, including frequent urination, burning or stinging with urination, or urinating in small amounts.
