Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Endometrial cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the glandular cells of the endometrium, also known as corpus uteri cancer. It is one of the common gynecological malignant tumors, often occurring during menopause and postmenopause, and is more prevalent in women who are unmarried, have few children, are obese, and have comorbid hypertension or diabetes. The primary symptom is irregular vaginal bleeding. In premenopausal patients, it often manifests as increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual periods, and slight bleeding after exertion. In postmenopausal patients, it typically presents as intermittent or persistent light bleeding or bloody discharge after menopause. Secondary symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, serous, watery, or purulent discharge. Advanced-stage patients often exhibit symptoms of cachexia, such as anemia and weight loss.
