How to prevent cervical cancer?

summary

Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies. Worldwide, more than 200000 women die of cervical cancer every year. In developing countries, cervical cancer is the most common gynecological tumor. Every year, 131500 new cases are found in China. The highest death rate is in Shanxi Province, and the lowest is in Tibet. Cervical cancer refers to the malignant tumor in the cervicovaginal and cervical canal. After knowing the incidence rate of cervical cancer, we will see how we should prevent cervical cancer.

How to prevent cervical cancer?

Avoid having sex too often and not too early. Most cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), and the main way of transmission of this virus is sexual behavior. Premature sexual behavior, and some wrong sexual life style, will lead to a significant increase in women's risk of cervical cancer, so we should avoid too frequent sex life, but also to avoid trying sex too early.

Keep away from tobacco, including secondhand smoke. Among HPV infected people, women who smoke have a much higher risk of cervical cancer than women who do not smoke. Because of the carcinogens contained in tobacco itself, coupled with its impact on humoral and cellular immune function, the anti-cancer function of immune cells becomes weaker, which aggravates the probability of HPV infection.

Eat right, exercise more, increase immunity. Although HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer, but most people's own immunity will remove HPV virus, but if a person's immunity decreases, it will be unable to remove HPV virus, in the long run, it will cause cervical cancer. Therefore, balanced nutrition, exercise and immunity are of great significance for cancer suppression and anti-cancer.

matters needing attention

The above are the preventive measures for cervical cancer, but if cervical cancer occurs, many factors must be considered before deciding the best treatment, including tumor size, patient's age, overall health status, early and late stage and so on. In general, cervical cancer has a high degree of malignancy, and 70% of the patients are in advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. The treatment of cervical cancer includes surgical resection, traditional Chinese medicine, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The operation is not suitable for the patients of stage II, III and IV. It is easy to metastasize or relapse after operation
