Early symptoms of cervical cancer and how to prevent it

  Cervical cancer is a kind of malignant tumor disease with high incidence in recent years, which not only affects women’s health, but also increases the pressure of family life.  What are the early symptoms of cervical cancer?  With the accelerated pace of life, the common “health killer” of women is not only breast cancer, but also cervical cancer, which is second only to breast cancer in incidence rate. Moreover, what is scary is that the age of incidence has advanced from the 50s to the 30s. It is urgent to prevent cervical cancer early. According to experts, there are two common methods to detect cervical cancer as early as possible: 1.  2. Pay attention to the changes of your body.  Women should not ignore the following symptoms and seek early medical attention because they may be symptoms of cervical cancer. Most of the cervical cancers have the process of developing from “inflammation” to “cancer”. Therefore, women must pay extra attention when the following symptoms appear: 1. Bleeding: Bleeding most often occurs after sexual intercourse. The amount of bleeding is related to the progress of cervical cancer and the pathological type of the tumor. In advanced cervical cancer, due to the erosion of blood vessels by cancerous tissues, it will cause blood vessels to rupture and lead to hemorrhage, which can be life-threatening in serious cases.  2.Increased leucorrhea: In the early stage, the patient’s examination is mainly mucus leucorrhea. As the patient’s condition progresses, the leucorrhea will become cloudy, bloody, purulent and rice-soup-like, and will have a special foul odor as the cancer tissues in the body become necrotic and fall off or become infected.  3.Pain: Pain is most often seen in advanced cervical cancer. When the tumor is adjacent to the patient’s body or when the tumor erodes blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels, it will cause unbearable pain in the lumbosacral, thigh and lower abdomen areas. In addition, when cervical cancer develops to advanced stage, the surrounding tissues and organs will be eroded or metastasized by the tumor, which will lead to various clinical symptoms, such as frequent urination, hematuria, urinary urgency and anuria, and in severe cases, uremia will also occur; at the same time, there will be difficulty in urination and intestinal obstruction, etc.  How to prevent cervical cancer in women: 1. Don’t take drugs, smoke or drink alcohol. 2.  2. Wash hands regularly, before and after meals, and after urination and defecation.  3. Pay attention to sexual hygiene, usually pay attention to the cleanliness of vulva and underwear, and pay attention to menstrual hygiene.  4.To prevent cervical cancer, we should maintain a sterile living environment, and women who have sex should pay attention to keep clean and fresh bed sheets.  5.Changing bad lifestyle, high-fat and high-calorie food combined with the lack of exercise is very harmful to people’s health.  6.Women should wear breathable and loose cotton underwear for daily prevention of cervical cancer. Mold is easy to survive in a humid and warm environment, so they should wear breathable and loose cotton underwear, which can prevent the occurrence of mold.  7.Eating more vegetables and fruits, various kinds of lettuce, dark green vegetables and fruits also have preventive effects on different cancers.
