HOW TO DIAGNOSE?

In this process doctor try to ask some basic questions like, symptoms, pain, to understand the condition.

When performing a pelvic ultrasound, the doctor moves a transducer over the skin of the lower abdomen. To obtain a transvaginal ultrasound, a probe is inserted through the vagina to provide a more detailed view of the uterus. It detects tumors in the uterus, thicker endometrium’s, and any abnormalities in the myometrium, the muscle-covered layer of the uterus.

It is possible to detect a tumor marker in blood tests. Pancreatic cancer cells release carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9, which may indicate a tumor when present at high levels.

In most cases of endometrial cancer, endometrial biopsy is performed. To remove the endometrium, the doctor inserts a thin, flexible tube into the uterus and suctions it out. Before the procedure, the doctor may prescribe an OTC anesthetic or prescribe NSAIDs such as ibuprofen to numb the area.
