Squamous cells on cervical examination

Some female friends were found to have squamous cell carcinoma during cervical examination and are worried about what disease they may have. First of all, the cervix itself has squamous epithelium, so it is normal to find squamous cells during the examination. If atypical squamous cells are detected, a detailed examination is required, as it may be caused by chronic inflammation of the cervix or other diseases.

What is cervical squamous cell carcinoma

Everyone is familiar with cervical cancer, but is relatively unfamiliar with cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Let's take a closer look at squamous cell carcinoma.

1. Cervical cancer is a general term for tumors in the female cervix, including cervical squamous cell carcinoma, which is more common in menopausal women. However, in recent years, there has been a trend of younger patients, and many young women have unfortunately suffered from cervical squamous cell carcinoma.

2. Medically, there are several types of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, including exogenous, endogenous, ulcerative and endocervical, and relatively obvious symptoms will appear after the onset of the disease. The most typical one is irregular vaginal bleeding in women, especially in menopausal women. Sudden and unexplained vaginal bleeding is likely caused by cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Contact bleeding usually occurs after intercourse or during a gynecological examination.

3. After the onset of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, most patients will also experience increased vaginal discharge, a symptom that is easily overlooked. In addition, patients may experience frequent urination, urgency, and pain and swelling in the lower limbs.

To sum up, cervical squamous cell carcinoma is a branch of cervical cancer, and it is also a malignant tumor occurring in the female cervix. Female friends should seek medical attention promptly if they experience relevant symptoms.

Why does squamous cell carcinoma occur?

When a woman is diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma, in addition to fear and sadness, she is also confused and does not know why she got squamous cell carcinoma.

1. Now medicine has reached a conclusion on the cause of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Most of them are caused by HPV virus infection. The vaccine for preventing cervical cancer developed in recent years is targeted at this virus.

2. If a woman suffers from cervical disease, if she does not receive timely and thorough treatment, it is easy to develop a chronic disease, such as cervicitis, cervical erosion, etc., which makes it easy to be infected by viruses, and cancer may occur over time.

3. If women have sexual intercourse too early when their bodies are not fully developed, it will not only affect their physical development but also increase the risk of developing reproductive system cancer. In addition, women with chaotic and unclean sexual lives are many times more likely to develop cervical squamous cell carcinoma than women who keep themselves clean.

The mortality rate of cervical squamous cell carcinoma is still relatively high, so it is necessary for everyone to take some preventive measures after understanding the causes of the disease.
