Medical Video: Detecting and Treating Endometrial Cancer
Have you ever found strange signs in the body that make you feel suspicious of an illness? There are many diseases that show the same symptoms, but some exhibit specific symptoms, such as endometrial cancer. Let's look and check for the following signs if you pay attention to this condition.
Unusual bleeding, spotting, or other vaginal fluids
About 90% of women diagnosed with endometrial cancer experience abnormal vaginal bleeding, such as changes in the menstrual cycle, bleeding while not menstruating, or bleeding after menopause. These symptoms can also appear in a number of non-cancerous conditions, but it is important to ask the doctor to check for any unexpected bleeding immediately. If you have experienced menopause, it is very important to consult regarding bleeding, spotting, or abnormal fluid from the vagina to the doctor.
Vaginal fluid that is not bleeding can also be a symptom of endometrial cancer. Even if you can't find blood in the vaginal fluid, that doesn't mean you can avoid being safe from cancer. In 10% of cases, the fluid associated with endometrial cancer is not bleeding. Unexplained vaginal fluid must be examined by a doctor.
Pelvic pain, lumps and weight loss
Some other signs of endometrial cancer can be pelvic pain, there is a lump (tumor) and weight loss when not on a diet. These signs are simpler in the early stages of this disease. However, the delay in seeking medical help can make the disease worse. This reduces the chance for successful treatment.
Although these signs can be caused by anything other than cancer, it is important to see a doctor.
At this time, there is no screening test or examination to find endometrial cancer that is still early in women whose risk of endometrial cancer is within the average limit and shows no symptoms. Check with your doctor so that this disease can be diagnosed at an earlier stage. In essence, undergoing a regular checkup is the best way to ensure that you will be helped and recover as soon as possible if you have endometrial cancer.
