In the early stages of endometrial cancer, the symptoms may only present as irregular vaginal discharge, which could be serous or bloody in nature. In advanced stages of endometrial cancer, irregular vaginal bleeding occurs, which can vary in amount and may not occur daily. This can also be accompanied by lower abdominal pain. Through an ultrasound, thickening of the endometrial lining or a mass in the uterine cavity can be seen, containing rich blood flow. It is essential to undergo a curettage and pathological examination to confirm if it is endometrial cancer. It is crucial to maintain good hygiene practices, avoid staying up late, pay attention to rest, timely diagnose at hospitals, and develop a healthy routine in daily life.

Is endometrial hyperplasia cancer?

Endometrial hyperplasia is not the same as endometrial cancer; it can be treated promptly. Endometrial cancer develops from ongoing endometrial hyperplasia, which can progress into atypical hyperplasia, a precancerous condition of the endometrium. Further development can lead to endometrial cancer. Therefore, it is crucial to treat endometrial hyperplasia actively to prevent its progression to endometrial cancer. Endometrial hyperplasia results from a lack of progesterone influence, causing the endometrium to remain in a proliferative state rather than transitioning to the secretory phase. With the influence of progesterone, the endometrium would not undergo hyperplasia; therefore, treating endometrial hyperplasia with progesterone is advisable.

How is endometrial cancer diagnosed?

If it concerns endometrial cancer, postmenopausal vaginal bleeding and menstrual disorders during the menopausal transition should prompt an exclusion of endometrial cancer. The most common and valuable method for diagnosing endometrial cancer is through pathological examination results, especially via fractional curettage. The advantage of fractional curettage is that it can differentiate between endometrial cancer and cervical adenocarcinoma, and it can clarify whether the cervical canal is involved, providing a basis for formulating treatment plans. In addition, endometrial cancer can also be assessed using a B-mode ultrasound, but this is only used to provide reference values for clinical diagnosis and management. Another method is hysteroscopy, which allows direct observation of the uterine cavity and cervical canal for any lesions, and tissue can also be collected for biopsy, which is also a very good method.

Endometrial cancer leukorrhea symptoms

The main manifestation of endometrial discharge is an increase in the amount of discharge, which can be watery or bloody. Sometimes, it can also appear as pus-blood-like discharge. Another main symptom of endometrial cancer is irregular vaginal bleeding. During an ultrasound, uneven echoes can be seen within the uterine cavity. The patient may also experience pain in the lower abdomen and increased menstrual flow. Therefore, if there are abnormalities in menstruation or unusual vaginal discharge, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for an ultrasound and gynecological examinations, and receive treatment based on the results of these tests.

Causes of Endometrial Cancer

Patients with endometrial cancer generally have factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity that induce the condition. They are more prone to developing endometrial cancer. Furthermore, endometrial cancer is divided into hormone-dependent and non-hormone-dependent types. Hormone-dependent endometrial cancer occurs when there is an excess of estrogen produced in the body without sufficient counteraction by progesterone, leading to excessive growth and proliferation of the endometrial lining. When this growth becomes uncontrolled, it can lead to cancer. Non-hormone-dependent endometrial cancer is not caused by hormonal factors and its development is more complex. Additionally, the pathology type of non-hormone-dependent endometrial cancer is also quite unique.

Stage IA endometrial cancer

Endometrial cancer is a group of epithelial malignant tumors that occur in the endometrium. Clinically, the surgical pathology staging revised by the World Health Organization in 2000 is mainly used, based on the severity of the lesion after surgery. Endometrial cancer can be divided into four stages, where, depending on the size and severity of the lesion, it can further be classified into sub-stages a, b, and c. Stage IA refers to cancer limited to the endometrium and is the earliest stage of endometrial cancer. Stage IA endometrial cancer can be completely cured with surgical treatment.
