What are the symptoms of endometrial cancer?

Patient's question:

Now, which hospital treats endometrial cancer? Menstruation is always excessive, and there is frequent abdominal pain. Could it be endometrial cancer? What are the early symptoms of endometrial cancer? What are the early symptoms of endometrial cancer?

Doctor's answer:

Endometrial cancer, the primary symptoms include:
1. Vaginal bleeding, specifically postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, with generally small amounts and rarely large-scale peeling. It can be either persistent or intermittent bleeding.
2. Vaginal discharge: In very few patients, the discharge may continuously increase. In the early stages, it is serous or serosanguineous, while in the late stages, it may become purulent and bloody with a foul odor.
3. Pain: Typically, there is no pain. However, in advanced stages, cancer infiltration of surrounding tissues or nerve involvement may cause lower abdominal and lumbosacral pain.
4. Systemic symptoms in late-stage patients include anemia, weight loss, cachexia, fever, and overall exhaustion.
Cancer can be effectively treated with active intervention. Early-stage cancer has a high chance of recovery, while late-stage cancer can still improve quality of life. Cancer is not an incurable disease.
