Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling uncomfortable with bowel movements, and I've also been experiencing frequent urination and urgency. I haven't had much energy to eat, and my appetite is even worse. After checking into the hospital, I was diagnosed with advanced pelvic cancer. I'd like to ask if pelvic cancer can cause menstrual irregularity?Doctor's answer:
General ovarian cysts, even bilateral ones, do not usually disrupt all normal ovarian tissue, so they rarely cause menstrual disorders. 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. Everyone should take good care of their health by doing daily preventive work. If related symptoms appear, seek early treatment.
