How to detect cervical cancer in its early stages Six groups of people are more likely to develop cervical cancer

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

Cervical cancer is easy to detect early

"Another characteristic of cervical cancer is that it is easy to detect in the early stages. Whether it is a routine gynecological examination or a more professional New Prescott thin-layer cytopathology examination, it can detect signs of cervical cancer in the early stages," said Zhang Zhongmian.

In addition, some physical signs may also indicate cervical cancer, such as vaginal contact bleeding (such as during 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 groups of people are susceptible to cervical cancer

① Human papillomavirus (HpV) infection: 96.7% of cervical cancer patients have had HPV infection;

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

④ Early marriage and multiple births: The prevalence of sexual activity before the age of 18 is 3 times higher than that of those aged 21-25, and 7 times higher than those aged 26 and above. Because the reproductive tract is not yet mature, it is more 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 and severe atypical hyperplasia and cervical erosion, if not actively treated, 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.

Don't delay treatment of cervical cancer

As mentioned earlier, cervical cancer has a high cure rate and a slow transition from the early to the middle and late stages, but it is cancer after all, so you must not let your guard down, especially once you discover it, you must not delay treatment. The earlier you treat it, the greater the chance of recovery. "If it is true as the news says, the actress delayed treatment for four months after discovering cervical cancer, which undoubtedly increases the risk of the disease. And after discovering cancer, if you are extremely busy at work and don't get the necessary rest, your immunity will be reduced and your cancer will be aggravated," said Zhang Zhongmian.

Nowadays, since many women have a strong health awareness, cervical cancer can often be detected in the early stage, so it can be treated early. However, in central and western my country, due to economic development restrictions, many women have no awareness of physical examinations, and cervical cancer is often not discovered until the late stage, resulting in a relatively high mortality rate. This also reminds women to establish a health awareness of regular physical examinations and early treatment.
