Endometrial Cancer Treatment

In Gurugram, Haryana

Endometrial cancer is a condition where cancer develops in the inner lining of your uterus. It usually grows slowly and is often detected early due to noticeable symptoms. This type of cancer is more common in women after menopause, but it can also occur in younger women. The disease usually begins when cells in the uterine lining begin to grow abnormally, forming a tumor. Early diagnosis plays a very important role, as it enables timely treatment and improves the chances of recovery.

Symptoms
One of the earliest and most important signs is unusual vaginal bleeding. This might include bleeding after menopause or irregular bleeding between menstrual cycles. Some women even notice heavier-than-normal periods. Other symptoms include pelvic pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, and unusual discharge. In some cases, fatigue and weight loss might also occur. These symptoms might seem minor, but they should be checked often.

Causes
Endometrial cancer is mainly linked to hormonal imbalance, especially when estrogen levels are higher than normal levels without enough progesterone. This imbalance affects how the uterine lining grows. Other risk factors include obesity, high blood sugar levels, family history, and certain medical conditions. Lifestyle factors and age also increased the risk in some individuals.

Diagnosis
Doctors usually start with a physical exam and ask about the symptoms. Ultrasound is often used to check for changes in the uterus. A biopsy is performed to confirm cancer. Additional tests help determine the stage and guide the selection of the most suitable treatment plan.

Treatment
Treatment includes surgery to remove the uterus, along with radiation therapy and chemotherapy if needed. The approach depends on the stage and your overall health.
