Experts introduce the main symptoms of uterine cancer

Compared with other diseases, uterine cancer is very harmful to women's health. If it is not treated in time, it may lead to the death of female patients. What are the common symptoms of uterine cancer ? Here are some common symptoms of uterine cancer.

Common symptoms of uterine cancer include:

1. Vaginal discharge: Because adenocarcinoma grows in the uterine cavity, the chance of infection is less than that of cervical cancer. Therefore, in the early stage of uterine cancer, the symptoms may only be a small amount of bloody leucorrhea, but later, when infection and necrosis occur, a large amount of foul-smelling pus and blood-like fluid will be discharged. Sometimes the discharge may be mixed with small fragments of cancerous tissue. If pus accumulates in the cervical cavity, it will cause fever, abdominal pain, and leukocytosis, and the general condition will deteriorate rapidly.

2. Pain: Pain is particularly prominent among the symptoms of uterine cancer. The cancer and its bleeding and the accumulation of fluid stimulate the irregular contraction of the uterus and cause paroxysmal pain, accounting for about 10-46%. This symptom mostly occurs in the late stage. If the cancer tissue penetrates the serosa or erodes the connective tissue around the uterus, bladder, 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.

3. Others: In late stage, patients can feel the enlarged uterus and/or adjacent tissues and organs in the lower abdomen, which may cause swelling and pain in the lower limbs on that side, or compress the ureter to cause hydronephrosis or kidney atrophy; or symptoms of systemic failure such as anemia, weight loss, fever, cachexia, etc. These are all common symptoms of uterine cancer.

The above is an introduction to the common symptoms of uterine cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once the symptoms of uterine cancer appear, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
