Uterine Cancer Treatment

In Gurugram, Haryana

Uterine cancer is a condition that affects the uterus, which is an important part of the female reproductive system. It usually begins in the lining of the uterus and often develops slowly. One of the best parts is that it often causes those symptoms early, which makes diagnosis easier compared to other types of cancer. But you might ignore the early symptoms, thinking that they are related to normal hormonal changes. As the disease progresses, it can affect the nearby hormones. Timely awareness of medical conditions makes a big difference in your treatment outcome.

Symptoms
Abnormal bleeding is the most common symptom. This might include bleeding after menopause or irregular bleeding between menstrual cycles. You might notice unusual vaginal discharge. Pelvic pain or pressure might also be felt. Pain during urination or intercourse can occur in some cases. These symptoms might not always be severe, but they should be checked if they continue.

Causes
Uterine cancer develops due to abnormal growth of cells in the uterus caused by DNA changes. Hormonal imbalance, especially increased estrogen levels, is a key factor. Obesity, diabetes, and family history might also increase the risk. Certain genetic conditions can contribute as well. Age plays a very important role in the higher risk in older women.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis begins with detailed discussions about your symptoms. A pelvic examination is done, followed by an ultrasound to check the uterus. An endometrial biopsy is also performed to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment
Treatment includes surgery to remove the uterus; depending on the stage, radiation therapy or chemotherapy might be recommended. MOC Cancer Care Center in Gurgaon offers advanced treatment by skilled experts. Our experts focus on customized care and proper guidance throughout your treatment journey.
