Endometrial cancer brings a lot of troubles and causes serious damage to the health of the uterus. We need to be more vigilant about the occurrence of endometrial cancer, especially we need to have a thorough understanding of the harm caused by this disease.

Endometrial cancer risks:

1. Endometriosis dysmenorrhea: The clinical feature of endometriosis is progressive dysmenorrhea, which is a common and prominent feature. Most of them are secondary, that is, since the onset 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. Rectal irritation symptoms, progressive and aggravated cyclical rectal irritation symptoms are rare in other gynecological diseases and are the most valuable symptoms for diagnosing this disease. The rectum, anus, and vulva are distended, painful, and have a sense of tenesmus and an increased frequency of bowel movements. As the lesions gradually worsen, the symptoms become more and more obvious, and the symptoms disappear after menstruation.

2. Pain during sexual intercourse: When there are ectopic endometrial nodules in the vaginal vault, nodules or adhesions in the rectal pit, or ovarian adhesions on the pelvic floor, sexual intercourse pain can occur. Endometriosis dysmenorrhea, the clinical feature of endometriosis is progressive dysmenorrhea, which is a common and prominent feature. Most of them are 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 at a certain period, which can occur before, during and after menstruation.

3. Infertility: About 50% of endometriosis patients are infertile. Among patients with unexplained infertility, about 30-40% suffer from endometriosis. Endometriosis causes infertility, which is often caused by pelvic masses, adhesions, fallopian tube obstruction, poor follicle development or ovulation disorders.

Symptoms of Endometrial Cancer:

1. Abnormal vaginal discharge, bloody or serous vaginal discharge, and a large amount of purulent or rice-like foul-smelling vaginal discharge when the uterus is infected. Late-stage symptoms of uterine cancer may manifest as vaginal discharge that is like "water leaking from a thatched house".

2. Vaginal bleeding: The late stage symptoms of uterine cancer are more obvious than the occasional, small amount of contact bleeding in the early stage. It manifests as vaginal bleeding after menopause or during non-menstrual period, sometimes dripping like leakage, sometimes heavy like metrorrhagia. Vaginal bleeding is very irregular, usually less at first and then more, sometimes less and sometimes more, rarely intermittent. The late stage symptoms of uterine cancer may include heavy bleeding leading to anemia. Some women never have symptoms of vaginal bleeding, mostly those with invasive cancer or those who have no sex life. This is a common late stage symptom of uterine cancer.

3. Pain: Early cervical cancer is painless. In the late stage of uterine cancer, the cancer tissue infiltrates near the cervix, affecting the pelvic wall, obturator nerve, lumbosacral nerve, etc., and corresponding pain symptoms appear. Lower abdominal pain, lumbosacral pain, sciatica, etc. are all late symptoms of uterine cancer.
