The difference between ovarian cancer and uterine cancer

Ovarian cancer originates from the ovaries, which are the main place where egg cells are produced and estrogen and progesterone are secreted. In recent years, the treatment of ovarian cancer has become more and more advanced. The earlier the disease is discovered, the better the treatment effect. So what are the differences between ovarian cancer and uterine cancer?

Symptoms include: bloating, abdominal or pelvic pain, feeling full easily when eating, frequent urination, etc. These symptoms may not be caused by cancer. If the above symptoms continue for more than a few weeks, you should see a doctor immediately. If a close relative has had a similar disease, the chance of developing ovarian cancer is greater. Experts believe that genetic abnormalities account for 10% of the risk of disease, including mutations in the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 that can cause breast cancer. Women with a family history of the disease should consult a doctor in advance.
Uterine cancer may not cause any discomfort in the early stage, and is often discovered during physical examinations and censuses. Many patients seek medical attention because of contact vaginal bleeding. During sexual intercourse, defecation, and vaginal examinations, there is often painless vaginal bleeding. A small number of patients have increased vaginal discharge, which is pink and has a foul odor. For postmenopausal women, vaginal bleeding should be given enough attention and they should go to the hospital gynecology department for a special examination in time.
