Early symptoms of endometrial cancer

In life, many patients with uterine cancer feel deep fear when talking about uterine cancer, and deeply understand what pain is. Uterine cancer still causes great trouble to patients. Only by timely discovering uterine cancer and treating it according to the symptoms of uterine cancer can we reduce the harm caused by uterine cancer. So what symptoms of uterine cancer do you know?

1. Pain

The cancer extends along the adjacent tissues, invades the pelvic wall, and compresses the peripheral nerves, with clinical manifestations of persistent pain in the sciatic nerve or one side of the sacral or iliac region. The tumor compresses or erodes the ureter, causing narrowing and obstruction of the ureter, leading to hydronephrosis, which manifests as unilateral low back pain or even severe pain, and further develops into renal failure and uremia. Invasion of the lymphatic system leads to obstruction of lymphatic vessels, which hinders reflux and causes symptoms such as lower limb edema and pain.

2: Increased secretions

It often occurs before vaginal bleeding and is one of the early symptoms of uterine cancer. Initially, vaginal discharge may not have any odor. As the tumor grows, the tumor becomes infected and necrotic, and the discharge increases, like rice washing water or mixed with blood, and has a foul odor. When the tumor spreads upward and affects the endometrium, the patient may experience symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort, lower abdominal pain, back pain, and fever.

3. Vaginal bleeding

Irregular vaginal bleeding is also an early symptom of uterine tumors. It accounts for about 80% of cases, especially vaginal bleeding after menopause should be paid more attention. The amount of vaginal bleeding can be more or less. Vaginal bleeding is often caused by rupture of tumor blood vessels. Especially for vegetable-type tumors, bleeding symptoms appear earlier and the amount is larger. Excessive blood loss can lead to severe anemia. In late cases, vaginal bleeding may cause shock, which is more common in invasive tumors.

Vaginal discharge:

Because adenocarcinoma grows in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is less than that of cervical cancer. Therefore, there may be only a small amount of bloody leucorrhea in the early stage, but later infection and necrosis will occur, and a large amount of foul-smelling pus and blood-like fluid will be discharged. Sometimes the discharge may be mixed with small fragments of cancerous tissue. If pus accumulates in the cervical cavity, it will cause fever, abdominal pain, and leukocytosis. The general condition will also deteriorate rapidly. Pain: A common complication of endometrial cancer. Due to the congestion of the tumor and its bleeding and discharge, the irregular contraction of the uterus is stimulated and causes paroxysmal pain, accounting for about 10-46%. This symptom mostly occurs Occurs in the late stage. If the cancerous tissue penetrates the serosa or erodes the parauterine connective tissue, bladder, straight or compresses other tissues, it can also cause pain, which is often stubborn and progressive; and often radiates from the lumbosacral region and lower abdomen to the thighs and knees. Uterine bleeding: Common complications and physical manifestations of endometrial cancer. Irregular vaginal bleeding before and after menopause is the main symptom of endometrial cancer, which is often a small to moderate amount of bleeding, rarely a large amount of bleeding. Not only are younger or near-menopausal patients easily mistaken for irregular menstruation and fail to seek medical treatment in time, even doctors often neglect it.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of uterine cancer. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. There are many early symptoms of uterine cancer in life. Not only are younger or near-menopausal patients prone to mistaking them for irregular menstruation and not seeking medical treatment in time, but even doctors often neglect them. I hope that patients with uterine cancer can recover soon.
