Menstrual changes during menopause should prevent endometrial cancer

In recent years, endometrial cancer has become one of the most common cancers in clinical practice and seriously troubles menopausal women. Therefore, once menopausal menstrual changes occur, such as increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual periods, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment in a timely manner. The patient will first undergo corresponding examinations, including B-ultrasound, diagnostic curettage and pathological biopsy to rule out endometrial cancer and precancerous lesions, and then receive treatment based on the cause, otherwise it is easy to miss the diagnosis.

The main treatment for endometrial cancer is surgery, and whether postoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy is needed is determined based on the intraoperative situation and postoperative pathological report results. The first treatment of malignant tumors is very important and greatly affects the patient's prognosis. Therefore, once endometrial cancer is diagnosed, a reasonable treatment method should be selected.

According to statistics, 90% of endometrial cancer patients have a history of irregular vaginal bleeding, and 10% have vaginal bleeding after menopause. Therefore, it is recommended that all postmenopausal women with irregular vaginal bleeding should undergo cervical cytology examination, B-ultrasound, etc. to rule out the possibility of endometrial cancer as soon as possible. Among them, young women who suffer from endometrial cancer often show symptoms of shortened menstrual cycles, prolonged menstrual periods, increased menstrual flow, or continuous menstrual bleeding, which need to be differentiated from menstrual disorders.
