Patient's question:
In recent days, I have been experiencing discomfort with bowel movements, and I also frequently have the urge to urinate. I haven't had much energy to eat, and my appetite is even worse. After being examined at the hospital, I was diagnosed with advanced pelvic cancer. I would like to ask if pelvic cancer can cause menstrual irregularity?Doctor's answer:
Generally, ovarian cysts, even bilateral ones, do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissue. Some uterine bleeding may not be due to endocrine issues or changes in pelvic blood vessel distribution caused by ovarian tumors leading to endometrial congestion; or it may be caused by direct metastasis of ovarian malignant tumors to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often accompanied by other secretory effects. For the sake of their health, everyone should do well in daily prevention. If related symptoms appear, seek early treatment.
