Patient's question:
Endometrial cancer stage 1A resection one year ago, severe lower abdominal pain on New Year's Eve (a bit tired from walking around those days). Sometimes it also hurts when walking too fast, but no other symptoms. Went for a follow-up check-up today, the doctor did a pelvic exam and said it has recovered very well. Then they recommended an MRI, but it requires a waiting list and can't be done for now. Is this a recurrence of the disease?Doctor's answer:
Recurrence and metastasis of endometrial cancer after surgery, as well as complications, are quite common. Proper treatment after endometrial cancer surgery can effectively control the patient's condition. Endometrial cancer is essentially cancer that occurs in the endometrium, most of which is adenocarcinoma. The etiology is generally very complex, and its main manifestation is postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. I don't know if you have this symptom. If so, it is likely caused by postoperative infection. Pay attention to cleanliness, maintain a clean environment, and keep a good mindset.
