Is vaccination effective in preventing cervical cancer? Treatment of cervical cancer

Nowadays, many adult women suffer from gynecological diseases. According to statistics, more than 95% of women suffer from at least one gynecological disease. Cervical cancer, as a cancer with a long incubation period and low survival rate, has always threatened women's lives. In recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer has increased year by year, and the age of onset has decreased year by year, making it the second most common female cancer in China. According to the latest data in 2009, there are 130,000 new cases of cervical cancer in China every year, and 1/3 of cervical cancer patients are under 35 years old. The onset age of urban women is earlier than that of rural women.

Abnormal physical examination no longer required

"I regret it! If I had followed the doctor's advice for further treatment a year ago, my disease might have been cured now, or at least it would not have developed to this point. I am only 34 years old and my child is so young..." 34-year-old Ms. Zhong regretted getting the pathology report: early-stage cervical cancer.

Last May, Ms. Zhong's unit organized a physical examination for a female employee. She was found to have severe cervicitis and suspected cervical abnormalities. The obstetrician and gynecologist recommended further examinations, but Ms. Zhong was lucky enough to think that cervicitis was not a big problem and that it would be okay to delay treatment for a while. In addition to work and daily life, she did not follow the doctor's advice.

At the beginning of this year, Ms. Zhong found that she often had irregular vaginal bleeding. She thought it was irregular menstruation and did not go to the hospital in time. Gradually, her face became sallow, and even high-end cosmetics could not hide it. Her friends suggested that she go to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that clinically, irregular vaginal bleeding is a common disease of cervical cancer, and it is not easy for female patients to ignore it.

Early cervical cancer is easy to detect

"Another characteristic of cervical cancer is that it is easy to detect in the early stages. Signs of cervical cancer can be detected in the early stages, whether it is a routine gynecological examination or a more professional New Prescott Thin Layer Cytopathology examination," said Zhang Zhongmian.

In addition, some physical signs may also indicate cervical cancer, such as vaginal contact bleeding (such as sexual intercourse), bleeding during bowel movements, etc. If you have these symptoms, you can go to the hospital for a gynecological examination.

In addition, the following 6 types of people are susceptible to cervical cancer

① Those infected with papillomavirus (HpV). 96.7% of cervical cancer patients have HPV infection.

② People infected with genital herpes virus; ③ A study in the United States showed that the number of sexual partners ≥ 10 accounted for 36% of new cervical cancer cases, indicating that multiple sexual partners are significantly correlated with cervical carcinoma in situ and cervical cancer;

④ Early marriage and multiple births: The incidence of sexual intercourse before the age of 18 is three times that of those aged 21-25 and seven times that of those aged over 26. Due to the immature development of the reproductive tract, it is sensitive to the stimulation of carcinogenic factors. Once infected with certain bacteria or viruses, it is easy to cause cervical cancer.

⑤ Patients with atypical cervical hyperplasia: especially those with moderate to severe atypical hyperplasia and cervical erosion, if not actively treated, they may also transform into cervical cancer;

⑥ People who take oral contraceptives, smoke and have low incomes are also at high risk of cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer treatment should not be delayed

It was mentioned earlier that the cure rate of cervical cancer is high, and it slows down from the early stage to the middle and late stages, but it is cancer after all, so you must not let your guard down, especially once it is discovered, you must not delay. The earlier the treatment, the greater the possibility of recovery. "As the news said, the actor delayed for four months after discovering cervical cancer, which undoubtedly increased the risk of the disease. After discovering cancer, if you are busy with work and do not have the necessary rest, it will reduce your immunity and aggravate the cancer." Zhang Zhongmian said.

Now, because many women have a strong sense of health, cervical cancer can usually be detected in the early stage, so that it can be treated early. In the central and western regions, due to the limitations of economic development, many women have no awareness of physical examinations, and cervical cancer is often discovered in the late stage, with a relatively high mortality rate. This also reminds most women to establish a health awareness of regular physical examinations and early treatment.
