Patient's question:
I had an issue last year. After checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which quickly controlled the problem through both topical and oral use. However, recently, I've been experiencing discomfort in my private area again, with abnormal discharge and a particularly strong odor. Could you please tell me: What are the causes of endometrial cancer?Doctor's answer:
Clinical manifestations of endometrial cancer include vaginal bleeding and vaginal discharge. When the tissue of endometrial cancer necrotizes and peels off, it can lead to discharge being expelled through the vagina, which may be watery and mixed with blood or purulent with a foul odor.Pain: It often occurs in advanced-stage patients due to tumor control of nerves, and can manifest in the lumbosacral region, lower abdomen, and may radiate to the legs.
Upon examination, early-stage cases often show no obvious abnormalities; in advanced stages, it may present as an enlarged and softened uterus. In postmenopausal women, the uterus may not be enlarged or may even shrink, and a palpable mass may be felt in the pelvis.
Once symptoms appear, it is important to seek medical attention early. Endometrial cancer is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia.
