My area is located between the uterus and the vagina and is called the “cervix” or, for good measure, the “cervix”. Although it is one of the female internal reproductive organs, it can be seen and felt by gynecologists during examinations, which gives the opportunity for screening and early detection of cervical cancer. So to speak, it is not really easy to detect late stage cervical cancer in my land as long as adult women have cervical cancer screening every 1~2 years, which has become less and less common in those decadent capitalist countries in the West. My territory is a place where soldiers (HPV and other microorganisms) must fight, especially at the junction of the so-called columnar and flattened squamous epithelium of the cervical canal (called the migratory zone). Let’s talk first about cervical inflammation, which can be caused by various physical, chemical or microbial factors. Cervical congestion, edema, and purulent discharge (e.g., after infection with gonorrhea) are signs of acute cervicitis; erosions, naevus cysts, and polyps are signs of chronic inflammation. Acute inflammation generally requires treatment, large cervical polyps if caused by irregular bleeding, usually need to be removed, but for cervical that cyst, if there are no symptoms of increased leucorrhea, do not treat it, it is not good to see the point. Specially about cervical celiac disease. Some women hear the word “celiac disease”, their faces are red to the root of their necks, feeling more wrong than the sinus! In fact, it is an extremely common phenomenon, after marriage women have different degrees of cervical erosion, and “style” is basically not related. At present, it is even believed that cervical erosion is a normal physiological phenomenon and cannot be called a disease. Nevertheless, if cervical erosion causes bleeding after intercourse, leucorrhea or infertility, it should be treated. Moreover, although it is no longer said that celiac disease can develop into cancer, it is difficult to distinguish celiac disease from precancerous cervical lesions to the naked eye. Therefore, cancer prevention tests should be done before any treatment (laser, microwave, cryo) for celiac disease. Then, let’s talk about cervical precancerous lesions, which are caused by a special virus (human papilloma virus, HPV, see one of the authors’ alternative science). The diagnostic process for precancerous lesions is well established and is called the “cytology-colposcopy-histology” triple step. Thin-layer liquid-based cytology (TCT) is usually used as a screening test to look for clues of malignant cells, followed by colposcopy and microscopic examination (biopsy) of biopsies if abnormal. Common cervical TCT abnormalities include: low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL), high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), and atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS). In the biopsy report, it is reported as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 1, 2 and 3. CIN3 is the highest version of precancerous lesions and is still not cancer despite being one step away from cancer! Briefly, cervical cancer is the result of a high load and persistent infection with human papilloma virus, which develops from untreated precancerous lesions. The staging of cervical cancer is very fine, broadly speaking, it is divided into stages 1, 2, 3, and 4, and each stage is further divided into two subcategories A and B. All cervical cancers can be treated with radiation + chemotherapy (called radiotherapy), and surgery is only considered in some patients, including young, early stage (before stage 2 A) women who wish to preserve ovarian and vaginal function. This is said to dispel the misconception that there is no hope if doctors don’t give surgery! For cervical cancer, radiotherapy is as important or more important than surgery! In fact, I can’t make any decisions in my area! What can be decided is you — regular cancer checkups, early detection of lesions and timely and appropriate treatment! Because, cervical cancer is an infectious disease (HPV infection), which is somehow a preventable and curable disease due to a long precancerous process.
