Related hazards of endometrial cancer

We all know that endometrial cancer is a disease that causes harm to female friends. Speaking of endometrial cancer, it is a disease that makes most women feel particularly afraid. However, many patients do not understand the harm of endometrial cancer. Therefore, when endometrial cancer occurs, many patients do not take it seriously. Only when it occurs do they think of actively seeking treatment, which results in increased pain due to the treatment.

What are the hazards of endometrial cancer? The main ones are as follows:

1. Endometriosis dysmenorrhea: The clinical feature of endometriosis is progressive dysmenorrhea, which is a common and prominent feature. It is mostly secondary, that is, since the occurrence of endometriosis, patients complain that they did not have pain during menstruation in the past, but dysmenorrhea began to occur from a certain period, which can occur before, during and after menstruation.

2. Rectal irritation symptoms: progressive and aggravated periodic rectal irritation symptoms are rarely seen in other gynecological diseases and are the most valuable symptoms for diagnosing this disease. The rectum, anus, and vulva are distended, painful, and feel tenesmus, and the frequency of bowel movements increases. As the lesion gradually worsens, the symptoms become more obvious, and disappear after menstruation.

3. Pain during sexual intercourse: Pain during sexual intercourse may occur when there are ectopic endometrial nodules, rectal pit nodules or adhesions in the vaginal vault, or when the ovaries are adhered to the pelvic floor.

4. Endometriosis dysmenorrhea: The clinical feature of endometriosis is progressive dysmenorrhea, which is a common and prominent feature. It is mostly secondary, that is, since the occurrence of endometriosis, patients complain that they had no pain during menstruation in the past, but dysmenorrhea began to occur from a certain period, which can occur before, during and after menstruation.

5. Infertility: About 50% of endometriosis patients are accompanied by infertility. Among patients with unexplained infertility, about 30-40% suffer from endometriosis. Endometriosis causes infertility, which is often caused by pelvic masses, adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, poor follicle development or ovulation disorders caused by the disease. In the early stage of endometrial cancer, there may be no abnormalities in gynecological examinations. In the late stage, the uterus may be significantly enlarged. When combined with uterine cavity pyometra, there may be obvious tenderness. Occasionally, cancerous tissue may prolapse in the cervical canal, which is easy to bleed when touched. When the cancer infiltrates the surrounding tissues, the uterus is fixed or irregular nodules can be palpated beside the uterus.

Based on the above symptoms, auxiliary examinations can usually confirm whether it is endometrial cancer. Therefore, women should pay attention to changes in their menstruation and the nature of vaginal secretions at any time; once symptoms appear, go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

Now that we know about the harm that endometrial cancer can cause to female friends, we must be more determined to avoid the occurrence of this disease. Protecting our bodies is something that every woman must do. Don't wait until your body becomes sick or injured before you think about treating the disease. This will only cause your body to suffer greater pain.
