Being a woman means tearing off this layer of "disguise"

Gynecological cancers such as ovarian cancer and cervical cancer are good at "disguising". Their early symptoms are not obvious and are easily ignored by patients. Most of them are in the middle or late stages when discovered. The reason for late discovery, in addition to lack of knowledge about the disease, is also the patient's negligence.

Beware of gynecological diseases that are good at "disguising" and love to "hide and seek"

Ovarian cancer - very hidden

Ovarian cancer is a highly hidden cancer, second only to cervical cancer and uterine cancer in incidence. Deaths from ovarian cancer rank first among all types of gynecological tumors. Environment, endocrine influences, regional differences, racial distinctions and eating habits can all be predisposing factors.

There are usually no conscious symptoms in the early stages of ovarian tumors. When symptoms appear, the disease is often in the late stage. Women should pay special attention to this and go to the hospital for examination in time if they have long-term unexplained digestive or urinary tract symptoms.

Suspected culprit

Abdominal mass: When you wake up in the morning with a full bladder, you may feel a mass in your lower abdomen. This is likely a benign tumor, which can worsen over time if not treated.

Gastrointestinal discomfort: There is no obvious discomfort in the early stages of ovarian tumors, just a slight feeling of abdominal distension and poor digestion. Abdominal distension and poor appetite are often manifestations of gastric ulcers. If accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and difficulty urinating, you should carefully find out the truth.

Irregular menstruation: Irregular menstruation is a common phenomenon among women, mostly caused by irregular life, not paying attention to changes in temperature or anxiety. If none of the above reasons apply, and if you even experience amenorrhea, you should consider whether there is a problem with your ovaries.

Uterine corpus cancer: a younger age group

Endometrial cancer is one of the cancers with a significantly increasing incidence in my country. Endometrial cancer has many causes and is more common in postmenopausal women. However, in recent years, this disease has also been found in premenopausal and even younger women.

The early signs of uterine cancer are actually easy to detect, such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, sudden increase in leucorrhea, and lower abdominal pain. When these symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination in time to confirm the diagnosis.

Suspected culprit

Obesity: Obese women generally have too much estrogen in their bodies, and excess fat will increase the level of androstenedione in their plasma, which is a major factor in uterine cancer.

Diabetes: Data show that the risk of uterine cancer in diabetic patients is 2.8 times higher than that of normal people. Due to physical factors, women who are overweight and have hypertension should pay special attention. Research data show that the likelihood of obese patients developing uterine cancer increases with increasing weight.

Irregular menstruation: Patients with endometrial cancer generally have irregular and heavy menstruation, and the amount of menstruation each time is three times higher than that of normal women. Therefore, women with irregular menstruation and unexplained causes should be vigilant about endometrial cancer.
