Life expectancy after endometrial cancer surgery

Cancer, like a devil, has been eroding women's hearts. Many women become extremely depressed after getting sick and have almost no courage to live, because they always feel that once they have cancer, they will not live long. In fact, this is not absolute. So, how long can you live with endometrial cancer?

Endometrial cancer is a common tumor. The possibility of cure through surgery and chemotherapy is about 70%. However, considering that the tumor is prone to recurrence and metastasis into malignant tumors, experts recommend that patients should take medication for conditioning, and also strengthen physical exercise to enhance their own immunity to resist the spread and metastasis of cancer cells. In this way, the cure rate can be increased to 85%. Therefore, patients should not be pessimistic.

Once a female friend finds out that she is ill, she should seek treatment in time and not delay the disease. Endometrial cancer is common in the endometrial layer of the uterus, mainly adenocarcinoma, and often occurs in women during menopause or menopause. Once diagnosed, surgery is often used for treatment. If the patient can do a good job of self-care and nursing in the following aspects, it will have a significant effect on early recovery and improving the quality of life.

1. Build confidence in overcoming the disease

Patients should reduce their worries, build confidence, actively cooperate with treatment, and maintain a good mental state. This is a necessary measure for auxiliary treatment and an important condition for recovery from the disease.

2. Take precautions against possible complications after surgery

If patients can maintain a good attitude and communicate more with fellow patients and medical staff, symptoms can be significantly alleviated. When vomiting is severe, antiemetic drugs can be used appropriately, and white blood cell counts should be checked regularly. To prevent infection, accompanying visits should be reduced and public gatherings should be avoided as much as possible.

3. Pay attention to your diet

To prevent vaginal stump bleeding and intestinal adhesions after surgery, patients with endometrial cancer should keep their bowels open and eat high-calcium, high-protein, high-vitamin, easily digestible foods rich in fiber, such as milk, seafood, tofu, fruits, vegetables, etc.

4. Daily Activities and Sexual Life

Because malignant tumors are prone to recurrence after surgery, regular reexaminations are required to determine whether sexual life can be resumed and the degree of physical activity. Pay attention to whether there are recurrent lesions. If patients with endometrial cancer experience symptoms such as decreased vaginal discharge and sexual intercourse pain after surgical treatment, appropriate measures can be taken to increase the comfort of sexual life.

With the development of medical technology, the cure rate of cancer is constantly improving. Therefore, patients with endometrial cancer should not be discouraged, but should maintain a good attitude, have the confidence to defeat the disease, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and believe that endometrial cancer can be cured. Of course, this generally refers to early endometrial cancer.
