What are the symptoms of cervical cancer and how to treat and recuperate?

Everyone knows about cervical cancer. The reason why we know so much about it is that cervical cancer is a very common disease. The incidence of cervical cancer is relatively high throughout a woman's life cycle. However, cervical cancer is not an incurable disease. As long as effective prevention and treatment are carried out early, it can be recovered to a great extent. In recent years, the number of women in our country suffering from cervical cancer has been increasing, and their age is also relatively young. So for ordinary people like us, if we have any symptoms, we need to go to the hospital for a check-up? How can we know if we are a member of the "cervical cancer family"? If we have cervical cancer, how should we deal with it? Next, I will lead you into the lives of women and feel the suffering they have suffered!

1. What else should we know about cervical cancer?

In the life journey of female friends, cervical cancer is a relatively common disease, which always affects the daily life and even life of female friends! Its incidence rate ranks third among gynecological diseases. In our country, there are about 131,000 new patients every year, and about 55,000 patients will die because of this, that is, one patient will die from cervical cancer every 6 minutes. Having said so much, since cervical cancer is so terrible, how can we prevent it from "coming to the door"? In normal times, we should pay attention to self-protection to prevent cervical cancer. Pay attention to good sex life, use condoms reasonably, and reduce the occurrence of sexually transmitted diseases. Advocate a hygienic lifestyle. And HPV vaccine can also play a certain preventive role. For HPV vaccine, women aged 9-45 can get HPV. At the same time, women of this age have the best effect in preventing cervical cancer after HPV vaccination! There are three main types of HPV vaccines currently available, namely bivalent vaccine, quadrivalent vaccine and nine-valent vaccine.

2. How should we determine whether we have cervical cancer?

Cervical cancer is a common gynecological malignancy. Its incidence has increased in recent years, so we should pay attention to prevention and treatment. These 4 signs may be precursors to cervical cancer! (1) Vaginal bleeding: In the early stage, contact bleeding is the main type, and irregular vaginal bleeding occurs in the middle and late stages. Young women may experience longer menstrual periods, heavier menstrual flow, and irregular vaginal bleeding during menopause; 2. Abnormal vaginal secretion: increased vaginal discharge, bloody vaginal discharge, and a fishy odor. (3) Urinary dysfunction: Cancer cells will grow larger as the uterus develops, which will lead to squeezing of the pelvic cavity, causing urinary urgency and pain. (4) Pain: After cervical cancer occurs, pain will occur in the lower abdomen and waist. However, it should be noted that women may also experience this during their menstrual period, so be extra careful.

3. Why does cervical cancer “come knocking on your door”?

In the current situation where cervical cancer is rampant, it is very necessary to protect yourself. So why does cervical cancer come to you? The following are some reasons that may tell you. (1) Premature sexual intercourse: Having sex with the cervix when its immune function is not yet perfect will cause damage to the cervical immune system, thereby increasing the risk of cancer. (2) Reasons for problems with the immune system. The spread of HPV virus is mainly due to the existence of malignant diseases such as diabetes and AIDS, which reduce the body's immunity and increase the chance of HPV virus transmission. (3) There are problems in life. For example, long-term alcoholism will cause certain harm to the human body, which will in turn cause the spread of HPV virus and have a certain negative effect on one's own health. The same is true for smoking.

4. What should we do once cervical cancer comes knocking on our door?

At present, cervical cancer is generally diagnosed by cytology, vaginal secretion examination, cervical histology examination and other examinations. For early stage without obvious clinical manifestations, surgical treatment can be adopted, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be adopted for late stage. (1) Surgery: Wide cervical resection is the main surgical treatment. After wide cervical resection, lymphatic duct clearance is required to avoid complications. If it is a small lesion that cannot be removed, terminal ileal resection can be used. (2) Radiotherapy: For patients in the middle and late stages, radiotherapy can significantly improve the survival rate of patients. Radiotherapy, as a supplementary therapy after surgery, can improve the survival of cancer patients and reduce tumor recurrence. (3) Chemotherapy: For patients in the late stage, platinum drugs can be selected, generally 3-5 mg/kg, the course of treatment is 2-3 months, and the dosage can be adjusted appropriately. (4) Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: "Tonifying deficiency and activating blood circulation" is the main treatment method, and Chinese medicine internal medicine is the main method. Common ones include Chuanxiong, Danshen, Safflower, Panax notoginseng, etc. In clinical practice, a combination of Chinese medicine internal and external administration can be used for treatment.

5. During the middle and late stages of cervical cancer treatment, is there anything we can do at home?

(1) Enhance immunity: There are many ways to improve the body's immune function, and the simplest and most effective way is to adjust your lifestyle. In daily life, you should eat more milk, eggs, fish, soy products, etc., which can enhance the body's resistance. You should properly match meat and vegetables, coarse and fine, and red and white meat. (2) Have good sexual behavior: You must have regular sex and control your sexual behavior. Avoid too much sex before the test turns negative, which can promote the improvement of the disease. (3) Exercise more: HPV patients are best to insist on 1 hour of aerobic exercise every day, such as running, yoga, badminton, swimming, and skipping rope.
