The uterus is an important part of women, and its role is particularly significant. It is also important to pay attention to the maintenance of the uterus in daily life. Endometrial cancer is a serious disease of the uterus, and its harmfulness must be taken seriously.
Symptoms of endometrial cancer
1. Irregular vaginal bleeding: This is the main symptom in the early stage of endometrial cancer. Patients may experience vaginal bleeding after menopause and amenorrhea, and the amount of blood may vary depending on the duration.
2. Vaginal discharge: Some patients experience an increase in vaginal discharge, which appears watery and has a foul odor due to the ulceration of the cancer tumor. After infection, purulent discharge occurs in the vaginal discharge, and eventually pus appears in the uterine cavity, infecting the entire body.
3. Pain: Pain often occurs in the late stage and rarely occurs in the early stage of endometrial cancer, but the possibility of its occurrence cannot be completely denied, such as patients may experience pain in the lumbosacral and lower abdomen.
4. Changes in physical signs: The patient showed no obvious abnormalities during early gynecological examinations, but the uterus did not atrophy after menopause. After the cancer grows, the uterus grows larger and has a slightly softer mass. Concomitant uterine cavity effusion results in a significantly enlarged, soft or tense uterus.
Endometrial cancer is susceptible to infection
1. Obesity: About 80% of patients with endometrial cancer are overweight or obese, meaning their weight exceeds the normal value by 10%. Obesity is a manifestation of endocrine imbalance, as fat increases the level of estrogen in the blood, leading to endometrial hyperplasia and even cancer.
2. Diabetes: diabetes patients have abnormal metabolism, and the risk of endometrial cancer is 3 times higher than that of patients with normal blood sugar.
3. Hypertension, coronary heart disease: This is the result of hypothalamic pituitary adrenal dysfunction and metabolic abnormalities. At the same time, endometrial cancer is also related to unhealthy lifestyles such as frequent consumption of high calorie and high fat diets, and lack of exercise.
4. Reproductive endocrine disorders: including amenorrhea, irregular vaginal bleeding, infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), etc. These diseases and manifestations are all related to abnormal ovarian endocrine function.
5. Hormone replacement therapy: People who take exogenous estrogen for a long time have an increased likelihood of developing endometrial cancer, which is related to the amount and duration of use.
6. Bad dietary habits: High fat has the function of storing estrogen, causing endometrial hyperplasia and turning into cancer. Therefore, people who consume more fat and oils will increase the risk of endometrial cancer. Vegetables and fruits have protective effects, and eating more can reduce the risk.
