Which groups are most susceptible to cervical cancer? How to prevent it?

In recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer has been getting higher and higher, and the patients are getting younger and younger. Many young women have lost their lives due to cervical cancer. Some women may think that they are still far away from cervical cancer, so they don’t need to pay much attention to it in normal times. However, they don’t know that the following women are the most susceptible to cervical cancer. If they don’t pay more attention, they are likely to get cervical cancer.

1. Which groups of people are most susceptible to cervical cancer?

1. Obese women

Generally speaking, obesity is one of the factors that cause various diseases. When there is too much fat in the body, it is easy to damage the organs. For women, too much fat in the body will also increase the secretion of estrogen. Estrogen and cervical cancer are closely related, so if women are too obese, they are also prone to cervical cancer.

2. Women who have sexual intercourse too early

With the opening of minds, many women now have premarital sex, but early sexual activity will increase the risk of cervical cancer in women. This is mainly because the cervical tissue of underage women has not yet fully matured, and the cervix's ability to resist disease will also decrease, so it is easy for them to be infected with the cervical cancer virus and develop cervical cancer.

3. Frequent changes of sexual partners

Some women change their sexual partners frequently, but they don’t know that changing sexual partners can easily increase their risk of cervical cancer. This is mainly because chaotic sexual life can easily allow various bacteria to enter the female vagina, and easily cause cervicitis in the cervix, which in turn causes cervical cancer by causing the cervix to be infiltrated by inflammation for a long time.

2. How can women prevent cervical cancer?

1. Maintain good hygiene

Women should maintain good vaginal hygiene in normal times. Whether it is during menstruation or during sexual intercourse, the vulva needs to be washed with clean water to keep the vagina clean. In addition, they should pay attention to washing and changing underwear frequently, and expose the underwear to the sun.

2. Avoid multiple abortions

Some women become pregnant unexpectedly because they do not take proper contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse, which leads to the need to terminate the pregnancy through abortion. Repeated abortions will damage the uterus and reduce its defense capabilities, which can easily lead to problems with the uterus and even cervical cancer. Therefore, women should take good contraceptive measures if they do not plan to have children.

3. Vaccination

The cervical cancer vaccine can also prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer. The cervical cancer vaccine is a preventive vaccine that can prevent cervical cancer caused by HPV16 and HPV18 infection, and it can also prevent precancerous lesions. However, women should know that even after the cervical cancer vaccine is injected, cervical cell screening is still required once a year.

Cervical cancer is a disease that women must pay attention to. They must have good work and rest habits and lifestyle in their daily lives to completely stay away from cervical cancer.
