Can early cervical cancer be cured?

As a common cancer, for cervical cancer patients, if the treatment is not appropriate in the early stage, the disease will progress very quickly. In the late stage, the patient's life will be immediately threatened. At the same time, the patient will continue to be severely damaged by the disease due to metastasis. So, can cervical cancer be cured in the early stages? Let the editor show you how to do it.

Can early-stage cervical cancer be cured?

Patients with cervical cancer do not need to worry. Clinical medicine shows that early-stage cervical cancer can generally be cured. If discovered early, good results can be achieved regardless of whether surgery or chemotherapy is used.

First of all, early cervical cancer can be treated with surgery, which usually involves removing the uterus and part of the vagina and paracervical tissue, and also removing the bilateral pelvic lymph nodes. Whether to preserve the uterus and ovaries depends on whether there is any disease. If not, preservation can be considered. One advantage of surgical treatment is that in early-stage cases, only one surgery is needed to completely eliminate the cancer, and the treatment period is short. The disadvantage of surgical treatment is that the scope of trauma is large, and complications such as urinary dysfunction may occur to a certain extent after surgery.

As for radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the application scope is very wide, basically covering all stages of cervical cancer, even late-stage cervical cancer. For the elderly or people with poor heart function who cannot tolerate surgery, chemotherapy is a very good treatment method. However, it should be noted that radiotherapy and chemotherapy have certain complications, including radioactive duodenum and cystitis, which require a certain period of treatment and recuperation before they can gradually recover.

Although this disease is the most common malignant tumor in women, patients do not need to be too anxious. As long as early detection and early treatment are guaranteed, the recovery period is very good. Patients must never be afraid of medical treatment. Otherwise, if they have symptoms but are afraid of treatment, they will miss the best time for treatment, and then they will suffer the consequences.

What are the early symptoms of cervical cancer?

With the accelerated pace of life of modern people, the age of onset of cervical cancer has been advanced from the 50s to the 30s today. Therefore, in order to prevent cervical cancer as early as possible, it is necessary to understand the symptoms of cervical cancer. Then when women find symptoms, they should pay attention because they may be symptoms of cervical cancer.

First, contact bleeding. The specific manifestation of this disease is that after sexual intercourse or exertion, female secretions such as vaginal secretions are often mixed with a little blood, sometimes in the form of floccules, and sometimes in dark red. Especially for married women over 30 years old, if they find that there is spotty bleeding in the vagina after sexual intercourse, they should be alert, because this may be an early signal of cervical cancer.

Second, non-menstrual bleeding in the vagina. This symptom is vaginal bleeding between two menstrual periods, in addition to vaginal bleeding after menopause. It is important to note that the former is easily regarded as irregular menstruation, while the latter is easily regarded as a symptom of menopause, and therefore they are often ignored. This type of irregular vaginal bleeding often occurs in the early stages of cervical cancer and is the patient's first symptom.

Third, female secretions are abnormal. The specific manifestation is excessive vaginal discharge, accompanied by changes in color and taste. The symptom of excessive leucorrhea usually occurs after contact bleeding. It is normal in color and smell at first, but gradually turns into serous secretions. In the late stage of cervical cancer, there will be rice-water or brown leucorrhea.
