What are the high-risk factors for endometrial cancer? Pay attention to 5 points

One of the high-risk factors for endometrial cancer is long-term ovulation disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome. If you have a functional ovarian tumor that produces estrogen, your chances of developing endometrial cancer will also increase greatly. In addition, endometrial hyperplasia, obesity, and estrogen replacement therapy are all high-risk factors for endometrial cancer.

Endometrial cancer mainly occurs in menopausal women, but in recent years, it has become younger, and many young women are also troubled by the disease. This disease has some high-risk factors, and the incidence rate of women with high-risk factors is much higher than that of ordinary women. So what are the high-risk factors for endometrial cancer?
1. Long-term ovulation disorder <br/>One of the high-risk factors for endometrial cancer is long-term ovulation disorder. Many patients are now under the age of 40, and about 19% to 25% of these patients suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome. Compared with young women of the same age who are not sick, the risk of endometrial cancer in this group of people is 4 times higher. From this aspect, it can be seen that the occurrence of this cancer is related to long-term ovulation disorder.
2. Suffering from functional ovarian tumors that produce estrogen <br/> Nowadays, there are many people suffering from ovarian tumors. Some ovarian tumors produce estrogen, such as granulosa cell tumors. If you suffer from this part of ovarian tumors, the possibility of suffering from endometrial cancer will be greatly increased.
3. Endometrial hyperplasia <br/>Endometrial cancer itself is a malignant tumor that occurs in the endometrium. If there is a problem of endometrial hyperplasia, the possibility of causing the disease will be greatly increased. The probability of simple hyperplasia becoming cancerous is about 1%, the probability of complex hyperplasia becoming cancerous is about 3%, the probability of simple atypical hyperplasia can reach 8%, and the probability of complex atypical hyperplasia is 29%.
4. Obesity <br/>Obesity is also one of the high-risk factors for endometrial hyperplasia. Relevant data show that if you are overweight by more than 50 pounds, the possibility of developing endometrial cancer will increase by 10 times, and if you are overweight between 21 pounds and 50 pounds, the possibility of developing the disease will increase by 3 times.
5. Estrogen replacement therapy <br/>Some people need estrogen replacement therapy because of certain diseases, but this treatment often increases the incidence of endometrial cancer. The risk of people who receive estrogen replacement therapy is 3 to 4 times higher than those who do not receive this treatment, and it is also related to the amount of estrogen used and the duration of medication.
