Don't ignore the three risk factors of endometrial cancer, which are 'hating poverty and loving wealth'!

Cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer are the three major malignant tumors in the female reproductive system. With the improvement of living standards, endometrial cancer has gradually become the female reproductive system malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate in some developed areas of China, and shows a younger trend. Why do some people unfortunately suffer from endometrial cancer? Professor Wang Jianliu, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology at Peking University People's Hospital, told you that correctly identifying the "danger signals" emitted by the body can also be prevented. The incidence of obese endometrial cancer is closely related to lifestyle, and the recognized risk factors are related to the three highs, such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes. Especially in postmenopausal obese individuals, their prevalence is higher than that of normal individuals. The main symptom of 90% of endometrial cancer patients with abnormal bleeding is abnormal vaginal bleeding. Women of childbearing age should pay attention to increased menstrual flow, irregular vaginal bleeding, incomplete menstrual flow, and postmenopausal bleeding in older women. Due to the occurrence of functional uterine bleeding due to anovulation or luteal dysfunction, the endometrium is affected by estrogen and lacks periodic changes, resulting in a long-term state of endometrial hyperplasia. In addition, abnormal vaginal discharge and lower body pain should not be taken lightly. If such situations are found, it is necessary to seek timely assistance from a professional doctor for timely diagnosis and treatment. Studies have shown that 15% -20% of endometrial cancer patients have not given birth. This is because estrogen stimulates endometrial hyperplasia, which can gradually lead to cancer over time. After pregnancy, a large amount of progesterone is produced in the body, which can counteract the stimulation of estrogen on the endometrium and thus play a protective role. In addition, stopping menstruation for a period of time after pregnancy reduces the periodic stimulation of estrogen and also protects the endometrium. Special reminder to high-risk groups should seek regular medical attention. For a long time, cancer has been recognized as an incurable disease. Talking about cancer and turning pale "is the attitude of most people towards cancer. But you know what? The primary prevention of tumors is etiological prevention, which means taking effective measures to avoid or eliminate various carcinogenic factors. Many tumors are preventable and controllable. The commonly used method for diagnosing endometrial cancer is gynecological internal diagnosis, which can detect cervical lesions, but the diagnosis of endometrium is limited; Further examination is gynecological ultrasound, which needs to pay attention to two indicators: one is to check whether the thickness of endometrial hyperplasia has increased; Another way is to check the blood flow signal. If the resistance is low and the blood flow is rich, it often indicates that there may be a problem with the endometrium. If such a situation is found, it is necessary to take an endometrial assay for diagnosis; Before the laboratory examination, an MRI can be performed to further accurately determine the size of the lesion.
