How to prevent endometrial cancer

Women are like flowers. Every female friend loves beauty. Beauty does not only rely on makeup. The real beauty is the beauty from inside and outside, and the foundation of beauty is health. Many female reproductive system diseases threaten women's health, and endometrial cancer is one of them. Staying away from endometrial cancer and strengthening cancer prevention awareness are the key.

1. First of all, we need to know the high-risk factors for endometrial cancer

Through the investigation and analysis of the factors causing endometrial cancer, we found that some factors are related to the occurrence of this disease, which we call high-risk factors. Among the general population, women with these high-risk factors should pay more attention to the possibility of endometrial cancer.

Several risk factors for endometrial cancer:

(1) Early menarche and late menopause: Early menarche and delayed menopause: Women's risk of endometrial cancer increases as their menstrual age increases.

(2) Hypertension: The survey found that the risk of hypertensive patients suffering from endometrial cancer is 1.5 times that of the normal population.

(3) Diabetes: The risk of endometrial cancer is 2.8 times higher than that of normal people. 3% to 17% of endometrial cancer patients are diabetic.

(4) Menstrual irregularities: Among endometrial cancer patients, the number of women with irregular menstrual cycles and heavy menstrual flow is three times that of normal women, which may eventually lead to cancer.

(5) Long-term use of estrogen for medical or other reasons can also lead to endometrial cancer.

(6) Endometrial cancer often occurs in nulliparous or infertile women. The incidence of endometrial cancer in nulliparous women is three times higher than that in multiparous women.

(7) Excessive body fat in obese people increases the storage of estrogen, and increased estrogen synthesis in the body is considered to be a carcinogenic factor for endometrial cancer.

2. Secondly, regular physical examinations are required

Experts strongly recommend that healthy adult women should have a health check-up once a year.

Screening for endometrial cancer requires: gynecological color B-ultrasound. When B-ultrasound finds irregular endometrial thickening and uterine cavity fluid accumulation, further cervical canal aspiration and endometrial sampler brushing can be used to obtain endometrial cells for pathological examination. Pathological diagnosis is the gold standard for endometrial cancer. Other auxiliary examinations include blood tests for tumor marker CA125 (if it is cancer, its value will increase), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT examinations to clarify the local infiltration and metastasis of the tumor as early as possible.
