How to identify gynaecology tumors
Gynaecology tumours refer to tumours occurring in the female genital organs, with common types including cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine membrane cancer and uterine membrane. Since early symptoms of these tumours are often not visible or similar to other common diseases, many women are not detected at an early stage. Through scientific methods of identification, gynaecological tumours can be detected and treated in a timely manner, significantly improving the survival and quality of life of patients. This paper will describe how to identify common gynaecology tumours and help women to be alert to early screening, early detection and early treatment.
Identification of cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in women, especially among women with high-risk HPV (human papilloma virus). The early stages of cervical cancer are usually not marked, but as the disease develops, the following symptoms may occur:
Anomalous vaginal haemorrhage: haemorrhage after sexual intercourse, irregular menstruation, post-menopausal haemorrhage.
Anomalous circulants: water samples, deodorant circulants.
pelvic pain: In particular, tumours can cause continuous or intermittent lower abdominal pain when they enter the deep tissue.
Peeing, defecation abnormalities: When the tumor is extended to bladder or rectum, symptoms such as urination difficulties, constipation, etc. may occur.
Method of identification:
Cervical cytology (Pap smear): Cervical cell changes are detected through cervical smears, pre-cancer or early cancer.
2. HPV testing: testing for high-risk HPV viruses is the main cause of cervical cancer.
Vagina lenses: For patients with cytological tests or HPV detection anomalies, vaginal lenses can further observe cervical pathologies.
Cervical examination: If a vaginal examination reveals a suspicious disease, the doctor conducts a cervical biopsy to determine if it is cancer.
Identification of ovarian cancer
The ovarian cancer is known as the “silent killer” because its early symptoms are not obvious and most women are in the middle and late stages of detection. Symptoms of ovarian cancer may include:
Abdominal swelling and discomfort: full abdomen, bad appetite or increased abdomen, especially after meals.
Declining appetite and weight loss: persistent appetite failure and unspecified weight loss.
Frequent urination: The tumor may oppress the bladder and cause frequent or acute urination.
pelvic pain: persistent pelvic or lower abdominal pain.
Menstruation: especially among women following menopause, there may be an irregular bleeding.
Method of identification:
Ultrasound: The size, shape, swelling or liquid accumulation of ovaries can be detected through vaginal ultrasound.
2. CA-125: CA-125 is a tumour mark of ovarian cancer, increasing in most ovarian cancer patients, but this indicator is less specific and may rise in other benign conditions.
CT or MRI: The scope and spread of the tumor can be further assessed.
4. Cervical lenses and biopsy: Patients suspected of ovarian cancer may need to undergo a pathological examination by obtaining tissue samples from the abdominal lens.
III. Identification of intrauterine cancer
Intrauterine cancer is one of the most common malignant tumours in women, especially in post-menopausal women. Symptoms may include:
Abnormal vaginal haemorrhage: The most common symptoms, especially post-menopausal haemorrhage. Even a small amount of haemorrhage should cause alarm.
Vaginal secretions are on the increase: they may have water samples or bloodlines.
In the lower abdominal pain: particularly when the tumor spreads to the surrounding tissue, it may cause pain.
The difficulty of urinating or defecating: Tumors can cause urination and defecation abnormalities when they break the bladder or rectum.
Method of identification:
1. Ultrasound: The thickness of the uterine membrane is measured through a vaginal ultrasound, which shall normally be thinner for women after menopausal. If the membrane is thick, it may indicate abnormality.
2. Cervical membrane active examination: screening for the presence of cancer cells through uterine cavity lenses or cervix.
CT or MRI: used to assess the extent and impact of tumours.
IV. Identification of uterine musculoma
Memomas are among the most common benign tumours in women. In most cases, uterus tumours do not give rise to serious symptoms, but in some cases, larger musculomas may cause a series of symptoms, such as:
Menstruation: increased menstruation, longer menstruation, irregular menstruation, etc.
pelvic pain: The pelvis may be discomfort due to myooma which oppresses the surrounding tissue or organ.
Utility: Large musculomas can oppress bladders, making urination difficult or frequent.
Abdominal swelling: In particular, a larger abdomen can cause a significant abdominal expansion.
Method of identification:
Ultrasound: Ultrasound is the most common means of diagnosing uterus tumours and helps doctors to observe their number, size and location.
MRI screening: If the position of myoma is complex or has an impact on the choice of treatment options, further MRI screening may be required.
V. How to improve early identification of gynaecological tumours
1. Periodic gynaecological examinations: periodic gynaecological examinations, in particular cervical cancer screening (Pap smears and HPV tests) and uterine ultrasound examinations, can help to detect anomalies at an early stage.
2. Attention to physical signals: women should be aware of the signs of menstruation, vaginal haemorrhaging, abdominal pain, urinary excrement abnormalities, etc., and should be treated early.
3. Periodic video screening: for women with family history or high-risk factors, periodic ultrasound, CT, MRI, etc. should be performed to detect potential tumours at an early stage.
4. Communication with a doctor: Any symptoms for which there is no clear cause should be consulted in a timely manner to avoid delays in diagnosis.
Concluding remarks
Early diagnosis of gynaecology tumours is essential for the safety of women. By understanding the common symptoms of gynaecology tumours and the method of identification, women can be treated in a timely manner in the event of an anomaly and are screened and examined as necessary. Regular medical examinations, attention to physical signals and good communication with doctors are essential to ensure health.
