What are the symptoms of endometrial cancer?

1. Patients with endometrial cancer generally have symptoms such as vaginal bleeding and abnormal vaginal discharge.

2. The cause of endometrial cancer is still unclear. Endometrial cancer patients often present with vaginal bleeding and abnormal vaginal discharge as the main clinical manifestations, often accompanied by lower abdominal distension and pain. Late-stage patients also have systemic symptoms such as anemia and weight loss. If the above symptoms occur, you need to seek medical attention in time. After the doctor inquires about the medical history, he or she will usually perform a physical examination on the patient to find out if there are any abnormal signs. It is recommended that patients undergo cytology, ultrasound, diagnostic curettage, hysteroscopy, CT, MRI, tumor marker examination, etc. to further clarify the diagnosis.

3. Active treatment is required after the diagnosis of endometrial cancer. Early-stage patients are mainly treated with surgical treatment, postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other auxiliary treatments. Late-stage patients are treated with a combination of surgery, radiation, and medication. For young patients with endometrioid cancer whose imaging evaluation is limited to highly differentiated endometrium, fertility-preserving treatment with progesterone therapy can be considered. Commonly used drugs generally include megestrol acetate dispersible tablets, tamoxifen citrate tablets, anastrozole tablets, etc.

4. It is recommended that patients avoid excessive tension and stress, maintain a good attitude, and avoid negative emotions to avoid affecting the recovery of the disease. Usually, they should avoid eating spicy food, pay attention to a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat more high-protein, high-nutrition, and dietary fiber-rich foods.
