Patient's question:
I stopped having my period two years ago, and I've been having stomach pain these days. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the doctor said it was pelvic inflammatory disease. Can women still get pelvic cancer after menopause?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of cervical cancer are irregular vaginal bleeding accompanied by a sense of fullness and discomfort in the lower abdomen. A cervical biopsy can provide a definitive diagnosis. Cervical cancer is primarily squamous cell carcinoma, and surgery is the first choice of treatment after confirmation.For mid-stage cervical cancer, it is recommended to first undergo surgery for total hysterectomy, bilateral adnexal removal, and pelvic lymph node dissection. Post-surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be administered to suppress tumor recurrence.
