Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor that poses a huge threat to women's health, and its morbidity and mortality have always been high. This disease is hidden, there are no obvious symptoms and signs in the early stage, and many people are diagnosed in the middle and late stages and are difficult to cure.

Although cervical cancer is scary, scientific research has confirmed that 90% of cervical cancers are related to HPV virus infection. Therefore, as long as the abnormalities of the body are detected as soon as possible and HPV persistent infection is prevented, cervical cancer can be prevented and treated well.

In fact, once the human body is at risk of cervical cancer, the legs will often issue an "early warning" in advance. If you have the following three abnormalities, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.

  1. Red warts appear on the legs

Some subtypes of HPV virus can cause skin and mucous membrane lesions, and red warts of different sizes and uneven distribution will appear on the skin. These warts are stubborn and grow larger as the disease progresses.

If this kind of wart grows on the skin of the legs, it is likely to be HPV warts caused by human infection with HPV virus, and you need to go to the hospital for further HPV screening.

  1. Lower extremity pain and edema

Most patients will first consider common musculoskeletal lesions such as lumbar intervertebral disc herniation when symptoms of lower limb swelling and pain appear. As everyone knows, lower limb swelling and pain without inducement is very likely to be a signal of cervical cancer.

Because the enlarged cancer will cause abnormal space occupation, eventually compressing the sciatic nerve, hindering the return of lymphatic and venous blood, causing swelling and pain in the lower limbs, and clinical manifestations similar to thrombus.

  1. Dark skin in the groin and swollen lymph nodes

The most common way of metastasis and invasion of cervical cancer is lymphatic metastasis. When cancer cells metastasize with the lymphatic circulation, there may be painless lumps in the inguinal lymph nodes between the legs, and the skin will turn black due to the blockage of local blood circulation. If the disease progresses, it may even metastasize to the lymph nodes above the collarbone. If this happens, we must seek immediate medical attention and intervene promptly.
