Prevention of endometrial cancer

Endometrial cancer is a common disease that threatens women's health. Female friends are not very clear about the prevention of endometrial cancer. So what are the good prevention methods for endometrial cancer? Let me introduce the prevention measures in detail below.

Endometrial cancer is one of the three most common malignant tumors of the female reproductive system in my country. Is there any convenient and easy way to prevent it? A special survey recently reported shows that drinking tea, especially green tea, may have a certain preventive effect on endometrial cancer, but this preventive effect may only be limited to premenopausal women.

The researchers took all new cases of endometrial cancer diagnosed between January 1997 and December 2002, aged 30 to 69 years old, with permanent residence in Shanghai as the research subjects, and randomly selected healthy women of corresponding age groups from the entire population of Shanghai city as controls.

The survey results show that tea drinkers, especially green tea drinkers, have a lower risk of endometrial cancer than non-drinkers. And the more times you drink tea, the more significantly your risk of endometrial cancer is reduced. For those who drink tea 7 times or more per week, their risk of endometrial cancer is reduced by about 20%. For green tea drinkers who have no history of drinking or smoking, their risk of endometrial cancer is reduced by about 23%; among them, those who drink more than 200 grams of green tea per month have a risk of endometrial cancer reduced by about 30%.

Researchers pointed out that endometrial cancer is a hormone-dependent tumor, and excessive estrogen exposure is its main cause. Green tea may reduce the risk of endometrial cancer by reducing estrogen levels in the body. In addition, tea polyphenols can enhance lymphocyte proliferation and enhance the body's immune function. Since there are no other reports on tea drinking and endometrial cancer, further epidemiological studies, especially cohort studies, are expected to confirm this.

1. Carry out cancer prevention publicity and survey, strengthen health and medical knowledge, and educate women with abnormal menopausal bleeding, vaginal discharge, obesity, hypertension or diabetes to be vigilant, seek medical treatment in time, and get early diagnosis.

2. For patients with a history of precancerous disease and excessive endometrial hyperplasia, especially those with atypical hyperplasia, active treatment and close follow-up should be given. If the treatment is not effective, the uterus should be removed surgically in a timely manner. If the patient already has children, has no desire to have children, or is older, there is no need for conservative treatment and the uterus can be removed directly.

3. When there is a benign gynecological disease, it is best not to use radiotherapy to avoid inducing tumors.

4. Strictly follow the indications for the use of estrogen. Menopausal women should use estrogen for replacement therapy under the guidance of a doctor, and use progesterone at the same time to regularly transform the endometrium.

The above content is about the relevant preventive measures for endometrial cancer. I hope that after reading the above, everyone will have a clearer understanding of the relevant preventive measures for endometrial cancer. In this life, everyone should focus on prevention and supplement with treatment. It is very necessary and critical to do a good job of prevention in daily life.
