Symptoms of recurrence after cervical cancer surgery

If a woman is diagnosed with cervical cancer, she will need surgery in most cases. Some women are prone to recurrence after surgery, which makes treatment very difficult. Here are some symptoms of cervical cancer recurrence after surgery.

1. More than 60% of recurrences occur within 2 years. This requires women who have undergone cervical cancer surgery to have a physical examination within two years so that if a recurrence occurs, it can be discovered early.

2. Patients with cachexia in the late stage may experience systemic wasting syndrome, such as loss of appetite, rapid weight loss or emaciation in a short period of time, and even cachexia. If a series of changes in diet and body occur within two years, you must pay attention and seek medical attention in time.

3. Distant recurrence and metastasis: For example, cough, chest pain and/or back pain in case of lung metastasis; coughing up blood in sputum or hemoptysis; fixed focal pain in case of bone metastasis; discomfort or pain in the liver area and hepatomegaly in case of liver metastasis; enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes

4. The diagnosis of recurrent cervical cancer must be combined with clinical pelvic examination and a variety of auxiliary examinations, comprehensive evaluation and analysis, and timely detection and early diagnosis.

If a woman experiences the above-mentioned changes in her body within two years of cervical cancer surgery, it is very likely that the cervical cancer has recurred. It is recommended that women go to the hospital where the surgery was performed for appropriate examinations in a timely manner after symptoms of recurrence appear. If the recurrence is not treated in time, it will have a great impact on women.
