The meaning of Mother’s Day is to celebrate the greatness of our mothers, who nurture the birth of each little one with their lives and the growth of each child with their blood. While we appreciate the selflessness of our mother’s love, we must also appreciate the exclusive “babies” inside our mother’s body. Thanks to the “backyard” ovaries, which produce healthy seeds and a constant supply of nutrients; the “hotbed” uterus, which provides a warm and comfortable environment; and the “source of life” Thanks to the “source of life”, the mammary glands, which provide 24-hour nutritious and delicious food. However, throughout their lives, these “ministers”, who have made a great contribution, can develop various conditions, the most alarming being cancer. Therefore, the best gift for mothers is to teach them how to stay away from those exclusive cancers, protect their health and maintain the dignity of women. “The basic physiological function of the breast is to secrete milk and nurse babies, which is one of the most fascinating “scenery” of women. However, it is also vulnerable to cancer. The incidence rate of breast cancer in China has been increasing continuously, ranking first among women’s cancers, and the age of onset is mostly between 35 and 60 years old. 1.Risk factors: family history of breast cancer; young age of menarche, late menopause, short period; lifelong infertility; history of estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy; radiation to the chest; severe atypical hyperplasia and papilloma of the breast; high fat and high energy diet; long-term mental stress and tension. 2.Be alert to early cancer signals: painless breast lumps, nipple overflow, nipple eczema or wrinkles. 3.Secrets of cancer prevention: ① Healthy diet, weight control, more exercise, timely stress reduction, avoid unnecessary X-ray exposure. ② Pay attention to benign lesions such as atypical hyperplasia of breast. ③ Three steps of breast self-examination: first observe whether both breasts are symmetrical in size and whether there is redness, swelling, ulceration and eczema; then lightly press the breast with the palm of your finger to see if there is any lump; finally lightly squeeze the nipple to see if there is overflow. ④ Regular physical examination: It is recommended to have clinical physical examination and breast ultrasound once a year; mammogram can be done every three years for women before the age of 40, and annual examination can be considered for women over 40; for high-risk groups such as those with family history of breast cancer, the screening age should be appropriately advanced. “Cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the female reproductive system; the age of onset is generally 25-64 years old, with a peak at 45-49 years old; it is actually preventable, and early cases have a good chance of cure. 1.Risk factors: human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which is recognized as the main cause; sexual disorders such as early first sex, multiple sexual partners; husbands having extramarital sex, penile prepuce of husbands or sexual partners, penile cancer; multiple pregnancies and multiple births, multiple abortions, early age of first birth; smoking, poor sanitary conditions, etc. 2.Be alert to early cancer signals: ① Irregular vaginal bleeding: vaginal bleeding occurs during contact (during sex or gynecological examination) or non-menstrual period. ② Vaginal fluid: increased leucorrhea, small amount, white or yellowish, may gradually increase with odor. ③ Pain in lower abdomen, abnormal urination and defecation, etc. 3. Cancer prevention tips: ① HPV vaccine (cervical cancer vaccine) is a powerful tool to prevent cervical cancer. the age of people protected by HPV vaccine is generally 9-26 years old, and the most suitable age for vaccination is 11-12 years old. The usual method of vaccination is to complete 3 vaccinations within 6 months. ② Cervical cancer screening schedule: (1) Start screening at age 21 and avoid screening women younger than 21 years; (2) For women aged 21-29 years, cervical cytology is recommended once every 3 years, and if positive, HPV testing may be considered; (3) For women aged 30-65 years, cervical cytology combined with HPV testing (preferred) once every 5 years, or cytology screening may be substituted for combined screening once every 3 years until 65 years of age; ⑷The above screening recommendations should be followed regardless of HPV vaccination; ⑸People at high risk for cervical cancer should consider more frequent screening. (3) Early management of precancerous cervical lesions, especially moderate and severe atypical hyperplasia. ④ Pay attention to personal hygiene, do not smoke and avoid sexual disorders. “Endometrial cancer originates from the endometrium and originates in the body of the uterus, also known as the uterine corpus. The overall 5-year survival rate is 60% to 70%. Risk factors: Long-term stimulation with large amounts of estrogen is the main risk factor, including sterility or infertility, early menarche or delayed menopause, pituitary dysfunction, ovarian diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, exogenous estrogen application, use of triamcinolone, and family history of tumors. In addition, excessive intake of animal protein, fat and sugar, such as obesity. 2.Be alert to early cancer signal: abnormal vaginal bleeding is the main symptom, the incidence rate can reach 100%, mostly manifested as postmenopausal vaginal bleeding with small amount, while women of reproductive age can manifest as menstrual cycle disorder, prolonged menstrual period, increased menstrual volume, etc. The remaining symptoms are similar to those of cervical cancer, such as vaginal bleeding, vaginal fluid discharge and lower abdominal pain. 3.Secrets for cancer prevention: ① Stop unreasonable or abusive use of exogenous estrogen; if estrogen is needed, progesterone must be used periodically to antagonize the effects on the endometrium. ② Actively treat precancerous lesions and endometrial hyperplasia. ③ Regular cancer screening: all women with long-term urban residence and age ≥50 years should be screened for endometrial cancer; those with risk factors for endometrial cancer who are under 50 years old. Endometrial cytology or segmental scraping is recommended, and vaginal ultrasound is also an option for tumor screening. If necessary, endometrial biopsy under direct hysteroscopy can be performed for histopathological diagnosis. Once postmenopausal vaginal bleeding occurs, no matter how much it is, even if it is only a little; no matter how many times it is, even if it is only once; no matter how long it is, even if it is only one day, you should pay attention to it and actively seek medical consultation. “Ovarian cancer is a female gonadal organ that can produce egg cells and secrete female sex hormones, which are essential to maintain a woman’s youthfulness and beauty. However, ovarian cancer is mostly found in middle-aged and elderly women, and the incidence rate is significantly higher in women over 50 years old. Early diagnosis is difficult, and the overall 5-year survival rate is 30%-50%, and the mortality rate is the highest among gynecological tumors. 1.Risk factors: infertility, late menopause, high animal fat diet, family history of ovarian cancer. 2. Be alert to early cancer signals: ① Abdominal distension and pain: abdominal distension is the “red card” warning of ovarian cancer. Frequent abdominal distension is not a trivial matter, so don’t mistake yourself for gaining weight and having a larger abdomen. The appearance of abdominal pain means that ovarian cancer is aggravated. (2) Frequent urination, urgency, edema in the lower limbs and vulva should be considered as possible ovarian cancer. ③ Low menstrual flow or amenorrhea. ④ Unexplained weight loss, decreased appetite and indigestion. 3. Cancer prevention tips: ① Relax your body and mind and eat a balanced diet. ① Relax your body and mind and have a balanced diet. ② Have children at an appropriate age, breastfeed and maintain an appropriate sex life. Regular medical checkups: Currently, there is no effective screening method and only 25% of ovarian cancer patients can be detected at an early stage; screening for ovarian cancer is recommended for menopausal women over 50 years old and high-risk groups in hereditary ovarian cancer families, mainly through serum CA125 measurement combined with vaginal ultrasound. Only by knowing the minefields of cancer early can we stay away from cancer; only by recognizing the early signs of cancer can we prevent cancer from “slipping” under our eyes; only by knowing cancer prevention strategies can we make our mothers healthier!
