Cervical cancer is a common malignant tumor in women, and its incidence ranks second in women's multiple tumors, second only to breast cancer. It is a disease caused by human papillomavirus infection.

Predisposing factors for cervical cancer

1. Immunocompromised

The ability of the body to resist HPV infection is reduced in people with a weakened immune system, such as patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection and patients taking anti-rejection drugs after organ transplantation.

2. Premature sex and multiple sexual partners

Women who started an active sexual life between the ages of 16 and 18 have a higher chance of contracting HPV than other women, and the more sexual partners, the greater the chance of contracting HPV.

3. Smoking

The older you smoke, the higher your risk of developing cervical cancer after HPV infection.

4. Other

Pregnant, prolific women have a higher risk of developing cervical cancer after HPV infection. Other long-term infections of the reproductive tract can lead to an imbalance of vaginal flora, which can increase the risk. Obesity and low consumption of vegetables and fruits can also lead to the disease.

Cervical cancer is not painful or itchy in the early stage, once there are 4 "abnormalities", or the uterus is "calling for help"

Many women who have been diagnosed with cervical cancer are very puzzled when they are sad, how can they get cervical cancer when they are usually healthy? Why are there no symptoms of cervical precancer?

In fact, it is not that there are no precursors to cervical cancer, but that everyone has not noticed it. If you find these kinds of abnormalities in your body at ordinary times, it is very likely that the uterus is calling for help. Please pay more attention.

1. Contact bleeding

After sexual intercourse or constipation, the vaginal discharge (leucorrhea) is mixed with drop-shaped blood, sometimes filamentous, and sometimes dark red. Women over the age of 30, who have given birth and live together as husband and wife, suddenly experience vaginal spotting bleeding after sexual intercourse, which should be taken seriously as an early signal of cervical cancer.

2. Irregular vaginal bleeding

It manifests as non-menstrual light vaginal bleeding between menstrual periods and postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. The former is easy to be regarded as irregular menstruation, the latter is easy to be regarded as the performance of menopause. But this irregular vaginal bleeding is indeed seen in the early stage of cervical cancer and is the first symptom of the patient.

3. Abnormal vaginal discharge

Mostly manifested as increased leucorrhea, accompanied by changes in color and odor. The symptoms of increased leucorrhea generally appear later than contact bleeding. The supernatant is normal in color and taste, and gradually changes into serous secretions. Advanced cervical cancer may have rice-like or watery leucorrhea.

4. Abnormal waist and abdomen pain

In fact, the position of the uterus is the waist and abdomen of women. If you do not participate in heavy physical labor or do not exercise vigorously, but eventually develop irregular waist and abdomen pain that cannot be relieved even by rest, you need to Be alert to whether it is a signal caused by cervical lesions.
