When it comes to cervicitis, many women talk about it and think that if cervicitis is found in physical examination, it will turn into cancer soon. So, is it really easy for cervicitis to become cervical cancer? In fact, due to the development of medicine, the concept of cervicitis is now different from before. Most of the so-called “cervicitis” is a normal structure of the cervix, which does not need treatment and will not turn into cancer immediately. In the past, the so-called cervicitis was diagnosed by the naked eye, i.e. the cervical erosion was considered to be cervicitis by the doctor’s eyes alone, but now it has been confirmed through colposcopy and other means that most of the cervical erosion seen by the eye is actually normal cervical columnar epithelium, not inflammation. After this point is clarified, the argument that cervicitis can easily turn into cervical cancer will not be broken. Then how does cervical cancer occur? And how to prevent it? Modern research proves that the occurrence of cervical cancer is closely related to cervical HPV infection, and more than 90% of cervical cancer patients have persistent infection of high-risk virus. The way to prevent cervical cancer is actually very simple, which is to have annual gynecological checkups. The cervical cancer screening test and high-risk type test are performed during the gynecological checkup, and then the decision of whether to perform colposcopy is made based on their results. Through these three examinations, benign cervical lesions can be detected and treated, thus blocking the occurrence of cancer in the cervix and thus preventing cervical cancer. Because these three techniques are effective and not too costly in preventing cervical cancer, the country has included them in the 100-year plan to focus on their development. What kind of people need to have these tests? At present, it is considered that all women who have had sex, whether they are having sex now or not, should have annual cervical cancer screening. It is important to remind people that cervical cancer screening should be performed in a regular hospital.
