What are the early signs of cervical cancer?

  Cervical cancer is the only malignant tumor that can be detected early and cured early. Regular screening is very important for the intervention, treatment and eradication of cervical cancer, and for women after 30 years old, or as soon as they start to have sex, they must have HPV virus testing regularly.    Today’s science is about some early symptoms of cervical cancer. If you have not had any related tests, but have already experienced the following discomforts, don’t dawdle to go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid the condition from continuing to develop. However, let’s say again that we should have regular tests, don’t wait until the following symptoms appear before you think of having tests to avoid regret. Most cervical cancer does not have any symptoms in the early stage, but with the development of the disease, patients may have the following symptoms, and it is necessary to be alert when these early signs appear: 1. Contact bleeding Contact bleeding is the most prominent manifestation of cervical cancer, and about 70-80% of patients will have bleeding. It is mainly manifested as fresh blood in vaginal discharge after sexual intercourse, gynecological examination or during forceful bowel movement. If such bleeding lasts for a long time, it is necessary to consult a doctor promptly; 2. Irregular vaginal bleeding For some elderly people who are menopausal but have vaginal bleeding again, it is wrong to think that they are having a “period” again. If there are symptoms such as contact bleeding and back pain, go to hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time; 3.Increased vaginal discharge Most of the patients have increased vaginal discharge, and special attention should be paid to early bloody leucorrhea, which may be thin like watery or rice slop, or have fishy smell. In late stage patients, due to necrosis of cancerous tissue with infection, there may be a lot of rice-soup-like or purulent foul-smelling leucorrhea. There are many cases recorded that patients with unexplained vaginal bleeding or increased discharge for several years or even more than 10 years still did not pay attention to it and missed the good time for treatment; 4. Pain in lumbar and abdominal area Soreness in lumbosacral area and lower abdomen is also an early sign of cervical cancer. Sometimes the pain can appear in the upper abdomen, thighs and hip joints, and it is aggravated whenever menstruation, defecation or sexual intercourse occurs, especially when the inflammation extends backward along the uterosacral ligament or spreads along the bottom of broad ligament, forming chronic parametrial connective tissue inflammation and thickening of the main ligament of the uterine cervix. Whenever the cervix is touched, it immediately causes pain in the iliac fossa and lumbosacral area, and some patients even experience nausea and other symptoms that affect their life, so they should pay attention to it and seek early medical treatment; 5. Combination of other gynecological problems Among the other combined cervical diseases of cervical cancer, the proportion of those with cervical erosion is the highest (there have been special statistics, and the results show that the number of cervical cancer patients with cervical erosion reaches 80%), followed by cervical redundancy, cervical hypertrophy and atrophy are the third and fourth respectively.    The incidence of cervical cancer is trending younger and the main clinical symptoms are increased vaginal discharge and unexplained bleeding. When the above symptoms appear, please do not delay or self-diagnose, and seek medical advice promptly to rule out whether it is cervical cancer. According to a survey, 99% of cervical cancer patients are detected only when early symptoms of cervical cancer appear, and only 1% of cases are detected by health check-ups of unit employees, which shows that patients generally lack awareness of gynecological health check-ups. Therefore, it is especially important to promote and educate about cervical cancer prevention and treatment, and women should enhance their awareness of gynecological health checkups and have regular checkups to facilitate the early detection and treatment of cervical cancer.
