Uterine cancer usually begins in the wall (endometrium), which is the tissue that lines the uterus

 

Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial develop outside the uterine walls. Other types of uterine cancer are uterine carcinoma, which are caused by an abnormal increase in estrogen levels in the body and are usually present on the ovaries, and endometrial sarcomas, which develop in the endometrium. There are many types of uterine cancer, and different kinds have different symptoms and prognosis.

 

Uterine cancer that develops in or near the ovary usually grows into the womb. Other cancers that grow into the womb include mesothelioma and cervical cancer, and uterine leiomyosarcoma. The most common symptom of uterine cancer is bleeding or spotting that is either heavy or light. This may occur during pregnancy or may not occur during pregnancy at all.

 

Other symptoms of uterine cancer are vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, or pain during sexual intercourse. If cancer has spread to the abdominal area, abdominal swelling may result, as well as fever, chills, and diarrhea. A change in menstrual cycles may occur, or irregular bleeding. Cancerous tumors in the urinary tract may cause a burning sensation during urination, blood in urine, or no urine at all.

 

If the cancer has spread to the womb, there may be little or no symptoms, or some symptoms may signal the need for medical attention. If you are diagnosed with uterine cancer, your doctor will most likely order tests to see if they find any changes in your cervix, or in your womb. Sometimes tests are conducted to detect cancer in other areas of the body as well. If the tests show no abnormalities in the cervix, or in the womb, it is possible that the cancer has not yet spread to these organs.

 

If cancer cells have spread to the lungs, the symptoms of this type of cancer include coughing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. If the cancer has spread to the brain, the symptoms may include seizures or coma. If you have had a hysterectomy, it is common for the remaining part of your womb to be removed and you might have some symptoms such as pain during urination, pelvic discomfort, or bleeding. These are more serious than the ones mentioned above and should not be ignored.

 

Symptoms of this cancer include bone pain or weakness, loss of appetite, and infertility

 

Women who have had hysterectomies and undergone surgery may have problems while they are pregnant, and the same goes for women who have had cancer of the bone or kidney. It is very important to get a full diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible so that treatment options are available.

 

Symptoms of uterine cancer are often treated with surgery and radiation therapy, although this depends on the size and stage of the tumor. Doctors often use both to treat the largest tumors and also to try to shrink the size of tumors that are not yet large enough to cause harm.

 

Because the symptoms vary depending on what type of cancer you have, there is no one set of symptoms that will tell you whether or not you have cancer of the womb. The symptoms described here are just the more common ones and are considered to be indicators of this disease. If you have any of them, it is important that you check with your doctor immediately for a thorough evaluation.

 

Other symptoms to look out for are those that are usually associated with other cancers. They include weight gain, vaginal bleeding after menopause, blood in urine, and spotting in the vaginal area. When a woman has cancer of the uterus, it is very important for her to know the warning signs and get herself tested. She should have regular mammograms and ultrasound tests done, but it is also important for her to learn how to recognize the early symptoms so she can seek medical help right away.

 

Early detection means that a woman can often prevent complications from occurring. After menopause, you might have a recurrence of symptoms because the estrogen levels in the body change. This is why it is so important to always go to the doctor when you have any of these symptoms.

 

Cancer of the uterus is something that women should learn about and understand. There are many ways that you can prevent this from happening to you, and knowing all about it and being able to identify it is essential to your well-being.
