Doctors tell you the facts about cervical cancer and gynecological diseases!

 Chronic cervicitis is very common in clinical practice and life, and can occur for a variety of reasons, such as injury during childbirth, a history of invasive surgery, or vaginitis.

As we all know clinically, cervicitis refers to chronic cervicitis, which includes five major categories: cervical polyps, cervical hypertrophy, cervical nuchal translucency, cervical canal mucositis, and cervical erosion.

How to treat cervicitis

In reality, cervicitis, especially chronic cervicitis, is one of the five types of cervicitis mentioned above.

If chronic cervicitis leads to abnormal discharge, then according to the results of the vaginal micro-ecological test, we can give her targeted medication to relieve the increased discharge, yellowish discharge and odor.

For example, if we check that the discharge of some patients may be mycobacteria, then we will give her targeted medication. Mycobacteria are called vulvovaginal pseudomycosis in medical terminology, and then the mycelial items can be detected. In the process of treatment, we can perform vulva washing and give vaginal nasal plugs, most commonly we can use some nifurtimox soft capsules and so on.

Introduction of cervical cancer vaccine

The cervical cancer vaccine is a preventive treatment for cervical cancer. It is mainly available in the market as bivalent, quadrivalent and nine-valent. For the nine-valent cervical cancer vaccine, which most people want to use, it has a clear age limit of 9-26 years old, while the bivalent and quadrivalent cervical cancer vaccines are before 45 years old. Patients who have already received the cervical cancer vaccine still need to be screened for cervical cancer every year.

Theoretically, the HPV vaccine is most effective when administered before sexual exposure. If we test negative for HPV after having sex, the HPV vaccine can also be administered, depending on her age. Then for the patient who has been vaccinated with HPV, we still recommend her to have regular screening for cervical cancer, because the vaccine does not prevent 100%, because the vaccine does not prevent 100% of cervical cancer from occurring.

Cervical Cancer Treatment

For patients with cervical cancer, the main treatment plan for cervical cancer is to undergo surgery up to stage IIA, and to decide whether or not additional radiotherapy is needed based on the postoperative findings. For patients with stage IIB or above, we mainly use radiotherapy, radical radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy to determine their prognosis.

At present, for patients with cervical cancer, radiotherapy can achieve a better effect, while oral drugs and related drugs can only be used as an adjunct to improve the patient's immunity or the damage caused by radiotherapy.

The treatment method of cervical cancer depends on factors such as clinical stage and pathological type, and generally an appropriate individualized plan will be formulated according to the different conditions of patients. For example, for patients with clinical stage IIA or less, radical surgery is often recommended, with adjuvant treatment such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy as appropriate; for patients with stage IIB or above, radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy are often recommended.

Which 2 pains in the body are alert to the coming of cervical cancer?

1. Pain during intercourse

If you have obvious pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse, you should be alert to cervical disease. Pain during intercourse with bleeding during non-menstrual period is cervical contact bleeding, which is a typical symptom of cervical cancer.

2. Pain in small abdomen

Generally, pain in the small abdomen is similar to menstrual cramps, so it does not cause people to pay attention to it. Usually, pain caused by menstrual cramps can be improved in 2~3 days, but the pain caused by cervical cancer lasts for a long time and worsens progressively.

3. Increased leucorrhea

In the early stage of cervical cancer, leucorrhea will increase and have an odor. When the disease develops to a certain extent, leucorrhea will be bloody, thin like rice soup or watery with fishy odor. In the advanced stage of cervical cancer, the leucorrhea will be discharged in large amount of rice-like and purulent foul-smelling leucorrhea due to the rupture of cancerous tissue, tissue necrosis and secondary infection.

4. Increased vaginal bleeding

It is normal for women to bleed during menstruation, but a small amount of blood on the underwear during non-menstrual period should be taken seriously as it may be a symptom of cervical cancer.

How to prevent gynecological diseases

In actual clinical and life, women often ask how to prevent gynecological diseases. The scope of gynecological diseases is very large, including common benign diseases such as vaginitis, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., to malignant tumors gynecological three cancers, all belong to the category of gynecological diseases.

If we ask how to prevent it, then we definitely need to differentiate between benign tumors and malignant tumors. We recommend regular medical checkups, including gynecological ultrasound, cervical cancer screening, gynecological examination and vaginal micro-ecological testing.

In addition, we should pay attention to our own hygiene and must pay attention to cleanliness. At present, one of the important causes of cervical cancer is premature birth, multiple sexual partners, pay attention to work and rest, do not develop bad habits, do not stay up late, light diet and so on, which are also necessary measures to prevent gynecological diseases.

To summarize a few points

1. pay attention to personal hygiene

Keeping personal hygiene is the basic method to prevent gynecological diseases. Wash your underwear once a day and put it in the sun after washing. You can't use cleaning solution indiscriminately as it may create drug resistance or break the vaginal flora environment. Wash your underwear separately and by hand as much as possible, and generally change your underwear every three months. You should not wear tight pants or tight clothes for a long time, as this will make the local environment hot and humid, which will easily breed viruses and bacteria, thus causing gynecological inflammation or cervical cancer.

2. actively prevent gynecological inflammation

Gynecological inflammation is a common disease among women, and once infected, it will increase the risk of cervical cancer. When suffering from gynecological inflammation, you need to actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, and not to abuse drugs or listen to so-called prescriptions and recipes.

3. Quit smoking

Cigarettes contain a lot of carcinogenic substances and also affect cellular and humoral immune functions, weakening the role of oncogenes and increasing the chances of cervical cancer. Therefore, women must quit smoking and cannot stay in the environment with grease and smoke.

4. Eat more greasy food

Usually eat more soybeans or soy products, which contain phytoestrogens that can regulate estrogen in both directions, inhibit the growth of cervical cancer cells, inhibit cell division and stop cancer cells from invading. In addition, you can also eat more citrus fruits, which contain flavonoids that can inhibit the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. It contains vitamin c, which is an antioxidant and can reduce the damage caused by free radicals to cell genes. In addition, more carotenoid-containing foods should be eaten, which can protect the immune system and enhance immunity.

5. often do lower limb back stretching exercise

Sitting for a long time will make the pelvis congested, slowing down the circulation of blood to the cervix and adnexa. In addition, prolonged sitting will also make the local ventilation poor, easy to cause infection, resulting in cervical polyps, cervicitis or cervical hypertrophy, etc.. So reduce the sedentary time, often do lower limb back stretching exercise, which can strengthen the pelvic blood circulation.

Warm Tips

It is important to stay away from all risk factors of cervical cancer, to be clean, to avoid having premature sex, and not to take oral contraceptive drugs for a long time. All women who have sexual life need to go to hospital for smear examination once a year regularly, so as to detect the preexisting lesions and treat them in time.
