How to prevent and early detect female genital tumors

Women bear a great responsibility for their families and society. The female reproductive organs are the cradle of life and reproduction. Throughout her life, the female reproductive organs undergo changes from infancy, adolescence, sexual maturity (reproductive age) to aging (perimenopause and menopause). During any period of a woman’s life, due to various internal and external factors, various benign and malignant tumors may occur in the reproductive organs. If they are not actively prevented, detected early and treated early, the lighter ones will affect women’s health and reduce their quality of life; the more serious ones will endanger women’s lives. Gynecological tumors can occur at any age, but are most common between the ages of 20 and 50. Any part of female genital organs can grow. The common malignant tumors of female genital organs include cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer. The untimely death of famous actress Yuan Yuan Li due to cervical cancer once aroused people’s concern about cervical cancer. On December 30, 2003, the superstar Anita Mui bid farewell to the world. Her death once again raised the concern about cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is the second most common malignant tumor among women worldwide after breast cancer, and the first in incidence among Chinese women. More than 200,000 women worldwide die from cervical cancer every year. From the mutation of cervical epithelial cells to the development of cervical cancer is a relatively long process, usually taking about 8-10 years. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main risk factor for cervical cancer. The second is related to sexual behavior. Endometrial cancer is the second most prevalent malignancy of female reproductive organs. It mostly occurs in older women. The incidence rate has been increasing significantly in recent years. Ovarian cancer is the third malignant tumor of reproductive organs after cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. Because it is asymptomatic in early stages and located deep in the pelvis, it is often found at an advanced stage. Currently, the mortality rate of ovarian cancer ranks first among malignant tumors of reproductive organs. Currently, gynecological tumors are showing a trend of low age. We have found female infants born at only 6 months of age suffering from genital tumors. In contrast to the high incidence and youthfulness of gynecological diseases, fewer people come to hospitals for regular gynecological examinations. Even fewer unmarried women take the initiative to have gynecological examinations. Due to the increase of premarital sex year by year, while most people are not aware of the consequences of premarital sex, and at the same time the awareness of health care is poor, more and more unmarried women have gynecological diseases. Factors related to the occurrence of tumors 1. Age: benign tumors mostly occur in women in their reproductive stage, malignant tumors mostly occur in older women, and a few special types of tumors occur in adolescent and young women. 2.Fertility: Those who give birth too early, have close births or multiple births are prone to cervical cancer; those who have few births or are infertile are prone to endometrial cancer. 3.Sexual hygiene: unclean sexual life can cause infection in female genital organs. It is clear that human papilloma virus is the main factor of cervical cancer. 4.Endocrine: long-term high level estrogen stimulation is one of the factors of endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer. 5.Bad lifestyle: Smoking, especially heavy smoking, may be one of the important reasons to induce cervical cancer. High fat diet may induce endometrial cancer. Prevention is better than treatment Women in general should raise their awareness of self-care, pay attention to their physical condition and pay attention to the following aspects. First, observe the blood. That is, vaginal bleeding, especially postmenopausal bleeding, contact bleeding, etc. The second is to observe the belt. Normal leucorrhea is a small amount of white, slightly sticky discharge. Pus-like leucorrhea, bloody leucorrhea, rice slop-like leucorrhea, watery leucorrhea, etc. are all abnormal. Third, self-touch lumps. To develop the habit of self-examination. In the early morning, after defecating on an empty stomach, lie flat on the bed, slightly bend both knees, relax the abdomen, press and touch with both hands in the lower abdomen, from light to heavy and deep, the mass can be found. Fourthly, pain is felt. Cervical cancer is still the main cause of death of malignant tumors of female reproductive organs, but it is preventable. Early diagnosis and early treatment of tumor is the highest principle of tumor prevention and treatment. Due to the special location of cervix and the natural course of cervical cancer, early detection and early treatment of cervical cancer is possible.
