People at high risk of cervical cancer should have regular physical examinations

The incubation period of cervical cancer is very long. From infection with the HPV virus to the occurrence and development of cervical cancer, there is a latent period of more than ten years. That is to say, as long as it is discovered in time and treated early, the disease can be completely avoided from worsening. Therefore, it is important to have regular gynecological examinations.

The following high-risk groups for cervical cancer should pay special attention:

Regular cervical cytology examinations such as Pap smears or liquid-based cytology (TCT) tests can detect cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer at an early stage for high-risk groups.

HPV infection is the cause of cervical cancer. If a person is continuously infected with high-risk HPV types, that is, if HPV virus tests show positive results for HPV16 and HPV18, the incidence of cervical cancer is extremely high.

People with bad sexual behavior factors, including starting sexual life too early, having multiple sexual partners, and poor sexual hygiene, will increase the risk of cervical cancer.

For women who marry early and have children early, and who have multiple pregnancies, the incidence of cervical cancer increases with the number of pregnancies. The incidence of cervical cancer in women who give birth to more than 7 children is more than 10 times higher than that in women who give birth to 1 to 2 children.

Patients with sexually transmitted diseases, whether male or female, suffering from genital warts, syphilis, gonorrhea, etc., will increase the risk of cervical cancer in women;

People with low immune function, smoking, and malnutrition. The incidence of cervical cancer in women who smoke and women who have quit smoking is 1.7% and 0.7% higher than that in women who have never smoked, respectively. The more you smoke, the higher the incidence.
