How to prevent cervical cancer correctly and effectively?

Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological malignant tumor in young women, and it is called the two major killers of women together with breast cancer. Although the screening and popularization of cervical cancer and breast cancer have been carried out in China at present, the high incidence and mortality still cannot be well controlled.

So, what about cervical cancer? How to prevent and treat it?

I. Basic knowledge about cervical cancer 1. Cervical cancer is usually caused by sexually transmitted human papillomavirus infection.

2. Cervical cancer can lead to irregular vaginal bleeding, but the symptoms may appear after the tumor expands or spreads.

3. Cervical curettage and subsequent biopsy can usually find abnormalities.

4. The treatment is mainly to remove the focus and surrounding tissues, and to carry out necessary adjuvant treatment such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

5. Routine cervical smear examination and HPV vaccination can prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer.

It should be emphasized that cervical cancer is directly related to human papillomavirus infection, and human papillomavirus is sexually transmitted. This virus can cause condyloma acuminatum in the reproductive system. The earlier you have sex, the more sexual partners you have, and the greater the possibility of developing cervical cancer. If her sexual partner's ex-sexual partner has cervical cancer, this kind of female myoma with cervical cancer will increase significantly.

Second, how to prevent cervical cancer? 1, cervical spatula

After the application of cervical curettage, the death toll of cervical cancer decreased by more than 50%. Therefore, we suggest that women who have a history of sexual life or have reached the age of 18 should have a cervical curettage once a year. If three consecutive curettage results are normal, as long as the patient's sexual life style has not changed, cervical curettage can be done every 2-3 years.

Women with cervical cancer or cervical epithelial dysplasia should have cervical curettage once a year.

2. Vaccination of human papillomavirus

HPV vaccine for cervical cancer helps to prevent cervical cancer.

Now that the tetravalent and nonavalent vaccines have been listed in China, you can choose according to your actual situation.

If there are only superficial cervical lesions, LEEP knife, laser or cold knife can be used to remove part of the cervix. This treatment preserves the patient's fertility. Therefore, early patients rarely need hysterectomy.

However, if the lesion scope of early patients exceeds the superficial scope of cervix, hysterectomy and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are usually needed.

2, limited to early pelvic metastasis.

In this case, it is necessary to remove the uterus and surrounding tissues, ligaments, lymph nodes, etc.

3, further infiltration, beyond the scope of pelvic cavity
