What are the early symptoms of uterine cancer?

Uterine cancer is the main killer threatening women's health and has a low cure rate. However, if it is discovered early and treated as soon as possible, the possibility of cure is relatively high. The main early symptoms of uterine cancer are vaginal bleeding, pain on contact, abnormal vaginal secretions and cervical erosion, which have many similarities with other cervical disease symptoms, so you need to be careful to identify it after you become ill.

1. Vaginal bleeding

Symptoms of vaginal bleeding mainly occur after sexual intercourse. Normal women will not experience vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse, but women with uterine cancer will experience vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse. Some patients will also experience vaginal bleeding after constipation. Vaginal bleeding after constipation does not belong to anal bleeding. Especially for elderly women over 30 years old who have given birth, if these symptoms occur, they must be taken seriously.

2. Pain

In the early stages of uterine cancer, local pain and discomfort may also occur. The pain is generally located in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region. Sometimes the pain can extend to the upper abdomen, thighs, and hip joints. Especially during menstruation, the symptoms will worsen during bowel movements.

3. Abnormal vaginal discharge

Under normal circumstances, the quality and quantity of leucorrhea vary with the menstrual cycle. After the menstruation is over, the amount of leucorrhea is small and paste-like. If the leucorrhea suddenly increases and has a strange smell, you need to pay attention. The increased leucorrhea is mostly turbid, rice-washing water-like or purulent with blood, mostly serous, and accompanied by a special smell. If this kind of leucorrhea occurs, you need to pay special attention and go to the hospital for a routine leucorrhea examination as soon as possible.

4. Uterine erosion

Uterine erosion is also one of the early symptoms of uterine cancer. If young women suffer from uterine erosion for a long time, or have uterine erosion after menopause, they need to pay special attention to it, which may be an early symptom of uterine cancer.
