23 Liu Lin (pseudonym) is a salesman in a private enterprise. She has a beautiful figure and a beautiful face, and there are always men chasing her. After breaking up with her first boyfriend four years ago, she began to "play life", almost never rejecting the kindness of boys, and had 15 boyfriends in less than three years. A month ago, when she had a room with her boyfriend, she had vaginal bleeding many times, so she found a hospital.

Since 2003, the incidence of cervical cancer in my country has increased by nearly 30%, among which the number of young patients under 30 years old has increased year by year.

What are the chances of cervical cancer?

75% of women will be infected with HPV virus in their lives (99% of cervical cancer is related to human papillomavirus), but 90% of women will rely on their own immune system within 1-2 years. Only a few HPV viruses are eliminated from the body. The "slippery fish" may develop into cervical cancer, but how do you know that you are not the one chosen by the virus?

According to the latest statistics, the incidence of cervical cancer in Shanghai was 4.8 in 2010 and 2011, and 8.07/100,000 in 2012, almost doubling. The peak age of cervical cancer is between 35 and 55 years old.

The incidence of cervical cancer is more than 20% among this age group. This age group is the youngest and strongest, and is the backbone of the family. If a family in this age group falls, it will be a great destruction to the family and society.

Five ways to proactively prevent cervical cancer

There are many risk factors for cervical cancer, and preventive measures must be taken fundamentally.

1. Carry out health education, popularize cancer prevention knowledge, make people aware of the harm of early love, avoid chaos in couples' life, and advocate late marriage.

2. After marriage, pay attention to the hygiene of organs and sexual life of the couple, do a good job of contraception, and avoid artificial abortion because repeated abortions will cause trauma to the cervix and secondary infection

3. Regular gynecological examinations should be conducted for women over 30 years old. Cervical erosion, prolonged menopause, irregular vaginal bleeding, and contact bleeding should be treated promptly, and cervical cell scraping examinations should be performed. Those in doubt should undergo further examinations to make an early diagnosis and early treatment.

4. Actively participate in gynecological cancer prevention and screening and actively treat chronic cervicitis

5. Women with "high-risk husbands" (men with penile cancer or whose ex-wives have cervical cancer) should follow up closely if any abnormalities are found, generally once every 3 to 6 months.
