Women in menopause are more likely to suffer from this fatal disease!

Menopause is an important life process for women. According to the development process of the human body, after menopause, women’s immunity is low and the chance of being discovered with gynecological tumors also increases. Especially infertile patients should take precautions against gynecological tumors. Next, let’s learn more about it together.

Experts recommend that menopausal women should undergo vaginal ultrasound and blood tumor marker tests during their annual physical examinations, especially those with chronic diseases such as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes.

Menopause, medically known as perimenopause, occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. Experts remind that women should pay special attention to the occurrence of tumors during this period.

Experts say that menopause coincides with the peak period for endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer in women. It is common in clinical practice that menopausal women mistake tumor symptoms for normal phenomena, thus delaying treatment. Among them, the symptoms of endometrial cancer are easily masked by menopausal manifestations, especially for patients who have had uterine fibroids before, who rarely associate bleeding with cancer. Ovarian cancer is mostly ovarian epithelial tumor. Because the ovaries are located deep in the pelvic cavity, there are no external manifestations such as vaginal bleeding in the early and middle stages of cancer, and there is rarely any discomfort. By the time discomfort occurs, it is usually in the late stage. The tumor has grown very large, and even ascites has appeared. Experts said: "With current medical technology, it is still difficult to detect ovarian cancer at an early stage."

After women enter menopause, certain tumors are often discovered suddenly. The reasons for this are: first, low immunity; second, age factors; third, as time goes by, the tumor changes from quantitative change to qualitative change, and is easily discovered during examination.

Experts recommend that menopausal women should undergo vaginal ultrasound and blood tumor marker tests during their annual physical examinations, especially those with chronic diseases such as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes.

In addition, patients with breast cancer, colon cancer, and women with a history of infertility should also be wary of the occurrence of tumors. Expert Qin explained: "Infertile patients usually have problems with ovulation, which causes high estrogen levels and easily stimulates the endometrium. Childbirth is a resting period for the ovaries, and giving birth is equivalent to a year of rest. Women who do not give birth do not get their ovaries to rest, so the chance of cancer will be slightly higher."

Experts remind that cervicitis should be actively treated to prevent cervical cancer. Once an ovarian tumor is discovered, the earlier it is treated, the better the results. In this way, some benign tumors can be prevented from turning into malignant tumors, and malignant tumors can be prevented from developing to the late stage. Menopause is the peak age for gynecological tumors. The only reliable method is to conduct regular cancer prevention screenings to ensure early treatment if there is any disease, and early prevention if there is no disease.
