The diagnosis of cancer always sounds unexpected. It is clear that if a woman came for examination to a hospital that specializes in oncological diseases, then she is afraid that she will find that very terrible disease, but until recently she hopes that her suspicions are not true. But on the other hand, it is good if the cancer is found at an early stage, at a time when it can still be cured.
In order not to miss the onset of the disease, you need to know the signs of uterine cancer and regularly, at least once a year, visit a gynecologist. If you do not pay attention to any symptoms , the doctor will definitely notice even the slightest changes, and your story about the deterioration of well-being can be the starting point for the appointment of a further examination. In addition, if even slight suspicions arise, a diagnosis of cervical cancer will be performed.
But do not panic if you have been given this terrible diagnosis. According to statistics, in 70% of cases, the tumor spreads only through the body of the uterus, therefore, with timely and adequate treatment, it can be eliminated. The main thing is to pay attention to the first signs of uterine cancer and consult a competent doctor immediately.
So, the most obvious symptom is spotting. Even if you had a slight bleeding, it is better to play it safe and visit your gynecologist. In addition, the symptoms also include profuse mucous discharge and pain in the lower abdomen. At the same time, the disease in the early stages usually does not affect general well-being, therefore, in women who have ignored these signs of uterine cancer and did not go to the doctor on time, the disease can be detected too late. The most paradoxical thing in this situation is that many people know about these symptoms, understand what it means, but are afraid to go to the gynecologist for an examination, and do not want to hear a terrible diagnosis.
Also, all women should know that after 40 years the risk increases. Only 5% of cases of detection of the disease occur before the age of 40. But 75% of the women who have found tumors in the uterus were older than 50 years. In addition to age, weight is also a risk factor: the more extra pounds, the higher the chance of getting cancer. In addition, endocrine diseases and prolonged use of estrogen are dangerous. If you are at risk, then do not neglect the annual examinations by a doctor. Moreover, it is better to visit it at least 2 times a year. This will help to identify the disease at the 1st or 2nd stage, when only the uterine body and, possibly, its neck are affected.
In no case do not listen to those who offer alternative cancer treatments - all alternative methods cannot stop the growth of
malignant cells or prevent the appearance of new metastases. Trying to defeat the disease with the help of decoctions and spells, you will only achieve the progression of the disease and can bring it to the stage where even the best specialists will be powerless. That is why even insignificant, in your opinion, signs of uterine cancer should alert. Be sure to see a doctor, do not be afraid that your suspicions will seem ridiculous to him. After all, uterine cancer occupies the 4th place in prevalence among all oncological diseases in women.
