How is uterine cancer detected?

Up to now, humans have not fully understood the actual cause of uterine cancer. Usually, when diagnosing the disease, basic identification can be made based on some more obvious symptoms, such as abnormal uterine bleeding and increased female secretions. In addition to analysis and judgment based on clinical manifestations, detailed examinations should also be carried out. The following is an introduction on how to diagnose uterine cancer.

1. Cytological examination. Obtain tissue cells from abnormal lesions, make them into test specimens, and then place them under a microscope to observe the changes in the tissue cells to determine whether they are lesions. Cytological examination requires certain experience and methods, but this type of examination method has a relatively high accuracy and is currently one of the main methods for diagnosing and detecting uterine cancer.

2. B-ultrasound examination. This type of examination can accurately detect the exact size and location of uterine cancer, as well as whether invasion has occurred. It can also check whether uterine cancer has affected the cervix, bilateral fallopian tubes, uterus, ovaries and other adjacent tissues. B-ultrasound examination can also provide important reference for surgery and has become a basic examination method.

3. Diagnostic curettage and dilation. This type of examination method is indispensable, especially for patients who are highly suspected of uterine cancer. Through diagnostic curettage, the corresponding tumor tissue can be obtained, and the tumor tissue can be further examined to determine the actual characteristics of the tumor. Diagnostic curettage may sometimes miss some parts, resulting in reduced accuracy of the examination results. Therefore, this examination method can only be used as an auxiliary examination measure. If no tumor cells are found in symptomatic diagnostic curettage, it does not mean that there is no uterine cancer, and further examination is needed to discover the specific situation.

The above is a detailed introduction on how to check for uterine cancer. Uterine cancer seriously threatens the health of female friends, so it should be taken seriously. It is recommended that healthy women go to the hospital regularly for uterine cancer screening every year, and seek treatment in time if they are found to be ill. Usually, you should pay attention to the hygiene of your private parts, actively prevent gynecological infections, avoid having sex during menstruation, and avoid unclean sex that may introduce pathogens and affect your reproductive health.
