Endometrial cancer not only impacts the uterus but can cause symptoms from head to toe. Understanding these symptoms and how to manage them can help women find relief and improve quality of life.
Postmenopausal or abnormal bleeding should always be checked by a doctor. Women who have reached menopause must seek medical evaluation for any vaginal bleeding, while pre-menopausal women should get advice for unexpected menstrual changes.
Pelvic pain may be treated with medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen. Other options include antidepressants, anticonvulsants, nerve-blocking procedures, and integrative therapies like acupuncture, meditation, hypnosis, and massage.
Some women may experience unintentional weight loss, pain during intercourse, or painful urination. Doctors may recommend small frequent meals, vaginal moisturizers, lubricants, increased fluid intake, or prescribed medication to ease these symptoms.
Fatigue is common and can be managed with exercise, yoga, massage therapy, proper nutrition, and plenty of rest.
A cancer diagnosis can also bring depression, anxiety, mood changes, and chronic stress. It’s important to seek support from loved ones and talk to a doctor or mental health professional for help.
