Early stage of cervical cancer in the elderly usually has no obvious symptoms, and as the disease progresses, symptoms such as postmenopausal irregular vaginal bleeding may appear.
Elderly patients with cervical cancer often consult the doctor with irregular vaginal bleeding after menopause. Early stage of cervical cancer is usually asymptomatic, and some patients may have intermittent, painless vaginal bleeding, or small amount of vaginal bleeding after defecation; some cervical cancer patients may also have abnormal vaginal discharge, usually with foul smell or rice-water-like discharge.
When cervical cancer is in the advanced stage, abdominal pain, lumbar pain, or even oliguria may occur, and if distant metastasis occurs, the corresponding organs may be abnormal.
However, we cannot rely on this symptom alone to diagnose the disease. It is suggested that patients should consult the doctor in time if they have the above symptoms, and follow the doctor’s instruction to treat the disease if necessary, and early discovery, early diagnosis and early treatment are the keys to the treatment of cervical cancer.
