Endometrial cancer is not menstrual disorder. What are the symptoms of endometrial cancer
Endometrial cancer is a serious disease, and also a malignant tumor of women. Many abnormalities will occur after illness. We must pay attention to the changes of body abnormalities and immediately carry out reasonable examination.
Endometrial cancer is often mistaken for menstrual disorder
For menopausal women, menstrual disorder seems to be a normal phenomenon, but it is dangerous. In the center of the pelvis in the depth of the uterus, the general symptoms of endometrial cancer at the initial stage are not obvious. Without the investigation conditions of cervical biopsy screening like cervical cancer, it is generally difficult to find endometrial cancer at the initial stage. With the progress of the disease, endometrial cancer can gradually increase vaginal secretions, which are mostly bloody. When combined with infection, malodorous and purulent secretions can appear.
In addition, there is also a very important signal - vaginal bleeding. Menopause women have intermittent vaginal bleeding, and non-menopausal women can have increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual period or menstrual disorder. Unfortunately, this important warning signal has not been recognized and valued by many middle-aged women, and many patients have developed into malignant lesions before being examined.
Symptoms of endometrial cancer
1. Purpose-like leucorrhea: abnormal leucorrhea is one of the main manifestations of endometrial cancer. There may be only a small amount of bloody leucorrhea at the initial stage, but with the deterioration of the disease, infection and necrosis may occur at the later stage, and a large amount of malodorous pus and blood like fluid will be discharged. Sometimes the drainage can be mixed with small fragments of cancer tissue.
2. Abnormal menstruation: The most common is irregular vaginal bleeding, which is not clean immediately, and the amount of bleeding is small at the beginning. With the development of the disease, the amount of bleeding increases, but massive bleeding is rare. Patients without amenorrhea have increased menstruation, prolonged menstruation, more and less menstruation. Intermittent amenorrhea may have vaginal bleeding. Patients with irregular vaginal bleeding after amenorrhea in medicine are alert to the possibility of endometrial cancer.
3. Pain: At the end of endometrial cancer, paroxysmal pain often occurs, mainly cancer and its bleeding and fluid deposition, which stimulate the irregular contraction of the uterus. Cancer tissue causes pain by penetrating the serosa or eroding the connective tissue, bladder, straight line or compressing other tissues near the uterus, and the obstinacy and progressivity increase, radiating from the lumbosacral and lower abdomen to the thigh and knee
4. Lower limb swelling and pain: the tumor at the end of the stage increases rapidly, and the patient can contact the enlarged uterus and adjacent tissues and organs in the lower abdomen, causing swelling and pain of the lower limb on that side.
