Endometrial cancer is a cancer that forms in the endometrium, which is the fine inner lining of the uterus, or the womb. The uterus is located in the pelvic area and resembles the shape of a papaya or a pear. 90% of all uterine cancers are formed in the endometrium.

Endometrial Cancer

This cancer mainly affects women who have already gone through menopause. The majority of cases are in women aged 55-70.


Medical professionals do not know what exactly causes Endometrial cancer, but it has been linked to too much estrogen, which is a female hormone. It is the ovaries which produce the estrogen, but they also produce another hormone called progesterone which helps to balance the estrogen. These two hormones need to be in balance, but if too much estrogen is produced it will cause the endometrium to grow, thus increasing the risk of endometrial cancer.


There are other factors which increase the levels of estrogen and one of them is obesity. Fatty tissues in the body also produce the hormone estrogen. A diet with a high intake of animal fats including meat, dairy, and poultry, along with processed foods and refined sugars is the number one cause of obesity. These foods should be avoided especially by those who are at risk.


Those at risk are women who have gone through menopause, have had no children, have diabetes, have had breast cancer, or are on a high fat diet.


The first sign of endometrial cancer is bleeding or spotting. Bleeding or spotting may not always be the result of cancer, but it is good idea to have it checked out just in case.


Other symptoms of endometrial cancer are weight loss, fatigue, pelvic pain, trouble urinating and pain during intercourse.


If caught in its early stages, endometrial cancer is treatable, either by conventional medicine or natural healing.


Conventional treatment requires surgery, which is known as a hysterectomy. A partial hysterectomy is where only the uterus is removed, and a total hysterectomy is where the ovaries and tubes are removed as well.


Natural treatments which have proven to be very effective are Botanical and Chinese medicines. Both of these medicines use herbs and plant extracts. Together these will help to build the immune system so that it can fight the cancer, and be healed.


Diet is also very important, by eating a raw diet and drinking freshly squeezed fruits and vegetable juices, one can help to restore the well being of the body.
