What are the early signs of cervical cancer?

The early stage of cervical cancer is the key to treating the disease. In the early stage, patients can use surgery to remove the tumor to prevent the spread and deterioration of the tumor and control the disease. Therefore, patients should know the early symptoms of cervical cancer. The early symptoms of cervical cancer include vaginal bleeding and increased secretions, as well as smelly leucorrhea and increased menstrual flow. You can learn more about them.

Symptoms related to early cervical cancer.

1. Vaginal bleeding: It is usually irregular bleeding, especially for women who have reached menopause. Once bleeding occurs, it should be taken seriously. Still others are bleeding after sexual intercourse and gynecological examinations. Women who have not reached menopause usually have longer and heavier menstrual periods. This is bleeding caused by cancer cells corroding blood vessels. If the bleeding continues, it may cause anemia in the patient.

2. Increased secretions: Many patients experience increased secretions in addition to vaginal bleeding, and the secretions also have a fishy smell. Patients in the late stage often have foul-smelling secretions due to infection and other conditions.

3. In the late stage of cervical cancer, some related symptoms will occur due to the areas eroded by cancer cells. Such as frequent urination, urgency, etc. If the tumor affects the ureter, it is likely to cause ureteral obstruction, and in severe cases even uremia.

If any female friend has the above symptoms, she should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination. A cervical biopsy can be done, which can accurately diagnose the disease and rule out cancer.

Treatment for early-stage cervical cancer.

1. If cervical cancer can be detected in the early stages, surgery is the most common treatment. Directly removing cancerous tissue through surgery is currently the best and most thorough treatment method.

2. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy has a good therapeutic effect on early cervical cancer, especially for patients who are sensitive to radiotherapy, the therapeutic effect is very satisfactory. Radiation therapy can also be used as an auxiliary treatment for surgery. After surgery, a period of radiation therapy can effectively kill remaining cancer cells in the human body and is very effective in preventing the recurrence of cancer.

3. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is usually used for patients with cervical cancer who cannot undergo surgery or those in the middle or late stages. It can effectively inhibit and eliminate cancer cells. Its disadvantage is that it can have relatively large side effects.

The above three are the most commonly used treatments for cervical cancer. Doctors usually choose the treatment method based on the condition of cervical cancer, and sometimes choose traditional Chinese medicine for auxiliary treatment.

How to prevent cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women, second only to breast cancer. If there is a cervical cancer patient in the family, other women become a high-risk group, and it is necessary to take some preventive measures.

1. Pay attention to your physical health in daily life, especially for some gynecological diseases. Be vigilant and seek timely treatment after the disease occurs. Don't take it lightly because the symptoms are not serious, which can easily turn a minor illness into a major one.

2. Women with promiscuous sexual lives are many times more likely to develop cervical cancer than normal women. Therefore, I would like to advise everyone to return their lives to normal, even for the sake of their own health.

3. Many women do not care about miscarriage, but miscarriage can cause great harm to the female reproductive system. It can not only cause many gynecological diseases, but may also cause cancer. Therefore, when women do not want children, they must take contraceptive measures to avoid accidental pregnancy.

Women must pay attention to the prevention of cervical cancer, maintain good hygiene, and undergo relevant examinations regularly. I believe that cervical cancer will stay away from you. In addition, vaccination is available, and this vaccine can also be given to men.
