What are the main symptoms of uterine cancer?

What are the main symptoms of uterine cancer? I believe many people have this question. In the very early stage, patients may have no obvious symptoms and are only discovered accidentally during gynecological examinations for general surveys or other reasons. Let our experts introduce the symptoms of uterine cancer to you.

1. Uterine bleeding: Irregular vaginal bleeding before and after menopause is a symptom of uterine cancer. It is usually a small to moderate amount of bleeding, and rarely a large amount of bleeding. Not only are younger or near-menopausal patients prone to mistaking it for irregular menstruation and not seeking medical treatment in time, but even doctors often neglect it. Some people also have delayed menstrual cycles, but the symptoms are irregular. Postmenopausal patients often show continuous or intermittent vaginal bleeding. Patients with endometrial cancer generally do not have contact bleeding. Late bleeding may be mixed with rotten meat-like tissue.

2. Vaginal discharge: Because adenocarcinoma grows in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is less than that of cervical cancer, so in the early stage, there may be only a small amount of bloody leucorrhea, but later, if infection and necrosis occur, a large amount of foul-smelling pus and blood will be discharged. Sometimes the discharge may be mixed with small fragments of uterine cancer tissue. If pus accumulates in the cervical cavity, it will cause fever, abdominal pain, and leukocytosis, and the general condition will deteriorate rapidly.

3. Pain: The cancer and its bleeding and the accumulation of fluids stimulate the irregular contraction of the uterus and cause paroxysmal pain, accounting for about 10-46%. This symptom mostly occurs in the late stage. If the cancerous tissue penetrates the serosa or erodes the connective tissue around the uterus, bladder, or compresses other tissues, it can also cause pain, which is often stubborn and progressively aggravated; and it often radiates from the lumbar sacral region and lower abdomen to the thighs and knees. This is also a symptom of uterine cancer.

4. Others: Late-stage patients may feel the enlarged uterus and/or adjacent tissues and organs in the lower abdomen, which may cause swelling and pain in the lower limb on that side, or compress the ureter to cause hydronephrosis or renal atrophy on that side; or experience anemia, weight loss, fever, cachexia and other systemic failure symptoms.
