Symptoms of recurrence after cervical cancer surgery

  As a serious gynecological disease, cervical cancer not only has a high incidence rate, but also has a high possibility of recurrence after its cure. Some patients still have to beware that their surrounding organs will be affected even if they have their uterus completely removed. Today, I would like to introduce the symptoms of recurrence after cervical cancer surgery, hoping to help you better detect the disease.  The symptoms of recurrence after cervical cancer surgery are as follows: 1. Vaginal bleeding: In the early stage of recurrence, it may only be contact bleeding, but with the development of the disease, irregular vaginal bleeding will occur. Younger patients may show increased menstrual flow and prolonged periods. Older patients may have irregular bleeding after menopause.  For example, if the bladder is involved, the patient will have symptoms such as frequent and urgent urination, and some patients will also have symptoms such as constipation and painful swelling of lower limbs. If the cancer compresses or involves the ureter, symptoms such as ureteral obstruction, uremia and hydronephrosis may occur. As the disease progresses, systemic failure symptoms such as anemia and cachexia may also appear.  Vaginal discharge: Most patients with cervical cancer will have vaginal discharge after surgery. The liquid is usually bloody or white, which may be like rice slop or thin like water. In more severe cases, the cancerous tissues become necrotic and infected, resulting in a large amount of purulent, foul-smelling leukorrhea.
