Doctor's answer:

The main symptoms of endometrial cancer are:
1. Vaginal discharge: Since adenocarcinoma grows within the uterine cavity, the chance of transmission is relatively lower compared to cervical cancer. Therefore, in the early stages, there may be only a very small amount of bloody leukorrhea. However, as it recurs and becomes purulent, there may be a large amount of foul-smelling purulent blood-like discharge.
2. Uterine bleeding: Irregular vaginal bleeding before and after menopause is a major symptom of endometrial cancer. It is usually a small to moderate amount of bleeding, rarely a large amount.
3. Pain: Due to the accumulation of the tumor, bleeding, and discharge, which cause irregular uterine contractions, paroxysmal pain may occur, accounting for approximately 10–46%.
