What does cervical precancerous lesions mean?

Cervical precancerous lesions are common cervical diseases in women, but many women do not know much about this disease. In fact, cervical precancerous lesions are malignant tumors that appear in the female cervix. The following is a detailed introduction to what cervical precancerous lesions mean.

Since young women are sexually active, their estrogen levels and frequency of sexual intercourse are both high, so bleeding during sexual intercourse is more likely to be the first symptom. Therefore, bleeding during sexual intercourse is a precursor to cervical precancerous lesions. Young patients often present with contact bleeding, which occurs during sexual intercourse, gynecological examinations, and after defecation. The amount of bleeding can be more or less, generally depending on the size of the lesion and the extent of invasion of the interstitial blood vessels.

The amount of bleeding is small in the early stage, and in the late stage, the lesions are larger and manifest as heavy bleeding. Once the larger blood vessels are eroded, fatal bleeding may occur. Young patients may also experience prolonged menstruation, shortened cycle, and increased menstrual flow. Elderly patients often complain of irregular vaginal bleeding after menopause.

The dangerous warning signal of cervical precancerous lesions is bleeding after sexual intercourse (contact bleeding). If you do not pay attention to or take seriously this life-saving signal, you may experience irregular vaginal bleeding and increased leucorrhea, which may be clear water-like at first and rice-like in the later stages, and often have a fishy smell. If the disease continues to develop, cancer cells may invade the rectum or bladder, causing constipation, frequent urination, dysuria, and urinary retention, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen or waist.

Women who have bleeding during sexual intercourse should also pay attention to it. Once precancerous lesions of the cervix are found, surgery should be performed. Other treatments such as cryotherapy, radiotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine can achieve certain effects.

The above is an introduction to the precursors of cervical precancerous lesions. Since cervical precancerous lesions are the leading cause of female malignant tumors, female friends should learn more about cervical precancerous lesions in their daily lives and pay attention to the prevention of cervical precancerous lesions.
