If you often have lower abdominal pain, you should be careful about uterine cancer. You should know the 3 early symptoms of uterine cancer!

1. Pain in the lower abdomen

In fact, the early symptoms of uterine cancer are not very obvious. Only when the tumor becomes larger and larger will there be obvious symptoms, such as lower abdominal pain. 70% of uterine cancer patients will experience lower abdominal pain. This is mainly because the tumor has accumulated in the uterine cavity, which eventually causes pus to accumulate in the uterine cavity, leading to abdominal distension and pain, and even spasmodic pain. In the late stage, the cancer will infiltrate the surrounding tissues or compress the nerves, eventually causing lower abdominal pain. The tumor of patients with advanced uterine cancer will increase significantly. When combined with uterine cavity pyometra, there will be obvious pain when touching it with the hand, and the patient may even experience unexplained weight loss, anemia, etc.

2. Vaginal bleeding

80% of uterine cancer patients will experience irregular vaginal bleeding, mainly during the non-menstrual period. Some patients will also experience vaginal bleeding during sexual intercourse. The amount of vaginal bleeding caused by the uterus is not much. For uterine cancer patients who have not reached menopause, the blood flow is slightly more, which is mainly manifested as an increase in menstrual volume, a prolonged menstrual period, and even irregular menstruation.

3. Vaginal discharge

Most patients with uterine cancer will have symptoms of vaginal discharge, and some bloody fluid or discharge similar to purulent nasal discharge will appear in the patient's vagina. When combined with infection, purulent and bloody discharge will appear with a foul odor. When women find that their vaginal discharge is more and has a foul odor, they should pay attention to it and choose a regular hospital for corresponding examinations to rule out the occurrence of uterine cancer.
