What are the symptoms of uterine cancer

In life, many patients with uterine cancer feel deep fear when talking about uterine cancer, and deeply understand what pain is. Uterine cancer still causes great trouble to patients. Only by timely discovering uterine cancer and treating it according to the symptoms of uterine cancer can we reduce the harm caused by uterine cancer. So what symptoms of uterine cancer do you know?

1. Pain

The cancer extends along the adjacent tissues, invades the pelvic wall, and compresses the peripheral nerves, with clinical manifestations of persistent pain in the sciatic nerve or one side of the sacral or iliac region. The tumor compresses or erodes the ureter, causing narrowing and obstruction of the ureter, leading to hydronephrosis, which manifests as unilateral low back pain or even severe pain, and further develops into renal failure and uremia. Invasion of the lymphatic system leads to obstruction of lymphatic vessels, which hinders reflux and causes symptoms such as lower limb edema and pain.

2. Increased secretions

It often occurs before vaginal bleeding and is one of the early symptoms of uterine cancer. Initially, vaginal discharge may not have any odor. As the tumor grows, the tumor becomes infected and necrotic, and the discharge increases, like rice washing water or mixed with blood, and has a foul odor. When the tumor spreads upward and affects the endometrium, the patient may experience symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort, lower abdominal pain, back pain, and fever.

3. Vaginal bleeding

Irregular vaginal bleeding is also an early symptom of uterine tumors. It accounts for about 80% of cases, especially vaginal bleeding after menopause should be paid more attention. The amount of vaginal bleeding can be more or less. Vaginal bleeding is often caused by rupture of tumor blood vessels. Especially for vegetable-type tumors, bleeding symptoms appear earlier and the amount is larger. Excessive blood loss can lead to severe anemia. In late cases, vaginal bleeding may cause shock, which is more common in invasive tumors.
