Early symptoms of uterine cancer

The early symptoms of uterine cancer may not be obvious, but abnormal vaginal bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain or discomfort, frequent urination or dysuria, contact bleeding and other symptoms should be taken seriously. If you have any discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take appropriate measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Abnormal vaginal bleeding: One of the most common early symptoms, manifested as bleeding during the menstrual cycle, increased bleeding during menstruation, or irregular vaginal bleeding. Postmenopausal women should pay more attention to vaginal bleeding outside of menstruation. For abnormal bleeding, the cause of bleeding must first be determined through gynecological examinations, B-ultrasound, and other means. If uterine cancer is confirmed, treatment methods include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc., and the specific plan needs to be formulated according to the condition.

2. Abnormal vaginal discharge: Increased vaginal discharge may be accompanied by odor and abnormal color. For abnormal discharge, the cause must also be determined through examination. The treatment of uterine cancer is mainly surgery, supplemented by comprehensive treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

3. Lower abdominal pain or discomfort: It may manifest as dull or persistent pain in the pelvis, uterus or abdomen, which may worsen during menstruation or sexual intercourse. Pain management is also very important in the treatment of uterine cancer. In addition to the treatment of the tumor itself, analgesics can also be used to relieve symptoms.

4. Frequent urination, urgency, or difficulty urinating: Due to the compression of the bladder or urethra by the tumor, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating may occur. For abnormal urination, the tumor compression must be relieved first. Treatment methods include surgical removal of the tumor, radiotherapy to reduce the size of the tumor, etc.

5. Contact bleeding: During sexual intercourse or gynecological examination, the cancer may be squeezed and hit, which may cause blood vessels to rupture and cause contact bleeding. Contact bleeding is an important warning sign of uterine cancer and requires immediate medical attention. The treatment method is the same as above, mainly surgery, supplemented by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Although the early symptoms of uterine cancer may not be obvious, once these symptoms appear, you should seek medical attention in time for early detection and early treatment. At the same time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as a balanced diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption, can also help reduce the risk of uterine cancer.
