Symptoms of Advanced Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial cancer is a common disease in recent years. It often causes great harm to the patient's physical and mental health, especially for patients with advanced endometrial cancer. Patients should discover it in time and go to the hospital for treatment in time. Let us learn about the symptoms of advanced endometrioma below.

What are the symptoms of late-stage endometrioma? The main ones are as follows:

1. Pain

The cancer and its bleeding and the accumulation of fluids stimulate the irregular contraction of the uterus, causing paroxysmal pain, accounting for about 10 to 60 percent of cases. This symptom mostly occurs in the late stage. If the cancerous tissue penetrates the serosa or erodes the connective tissue around the uterus, bladder, or straight or compresses other tissues, it can also cause pain, which is often stubborn and progressively aggravated; and it often radiates from the lumbosacral region and lower abdomen to the thighs and knees.

2. Vaginal discharge

Because adenocarcinoma grows in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is less than that of cervical cancer, so in the early stage, there may be only a small amount of bloody leucorrhea, but in the later stage, infection and necrosis will occur, and a large amount of foul-smelling pus and blood will be discharged. What are the symptoms of late-stage endometrial cancer? Sometimes the discharge may contain small fragments of cancerous tissue. If the cervical cavity accumulates pus, it will cause fever, abdominal pain, and leukocytosis, and the general condition will deteriorate rapidly.

3. Uterine bleeding

Irregular vaginal bleeding before and after menopause is the main symptom of endometrial cancer. It is usually a small to moderate amount of bleeding, and rarely a large amount of bleeding. Not only are younger or near-menopausal patients prone to mistaking it for irregular menstruation and not seeking medical treatment in time, but even doctors often neglect it. Some people also have delayed menstrual cycles, but they are irregular. What are the symptoms of late-stage endometrial cancer? Postmenopausal patients often show continuous or intermittent vaginal bleeding. Endometrial cancer patients generally do not have contact bleeding. Late-stage bleeding may be mixed with rotten meat-like tissue.

4. Others

In the late stage, patients can feel the enlarged uterus or adjacent tissues and organs in the lower abdomen, which can cause swelling and pain in the lower limb on that side, or compress the ureter to cause hydronephrosis or renal atrophy on that side; or experience anemia, weight loss, fever, cachexia and other symptoms of systemic failure.

What are the symptoms of late-stage endometrial cancer? The above is a detailed introduction for you. I believe everyone has a certain understanding. Once the patient has the above symptoms, he must go to the hospital for treatment in time. The doctor will help you choose the appropriate method according to your situation and treat the symptoms, so as to reduce unnecessary harm.
