Cervical cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in women, the cause of which is still unknown. Women with early marriage, early childbearing, multiple births and sexual disorders have a higher prevalence. There are no symptoms at the beginning, but abnormal vaginal bleeding may appear at the later stage. Currently, surgery and radiotherapy are the main treatment options, and Chinese and Western medicine can also be used to treat the disease, but the cure rate for patients in the middle and late stages is very low. As a woman, you should be clean, strengthen your health care, pay attention to the gynecological screening on time, and seek medical attention when you find the first signs of symptoms. Early symptoms 1. Cervical erosion: Generally, cervical cancer patients are mostly accompanied by cervical erosion, and severe cervical erosion is the main cause of cancer. Young women who have cervical erosion for a long time or still have cervical erosion after menopause should pay enough attention to it. Contact bleeding: contact bleeding is the most prominent symptom of cervical cancer, about 70%-80% of cervical cancer patients have vaginal bleeding. It is mostly manifested as vaginal discharge mixed with fresh blood after sexual intercourse or gynecological examination, or during forceful bowel movement. If older women experience bleeding after sexual intercourse, they should not always think that it is caused by improper sexual intercourse and ignore the possibility of cervical cancer. If there is bleeding after intercourse every time, you should pay attention to it and seek medical attention in time. Irregular vaginal bleeding: Older women have been menopausal for many years, but suddenly “come on” again without any reason. The amount of bleeding is often small and is not accompanied by abdominal pain or back pain, so it is easy to be ignored. In fact, this kind of irregular vaginal bleeding is often an early sign of cervical cancer, and many elderly patients come to the clinic with this symptom to get early diagnosis and timely treatment. Therefore, it should be highly alerted to the elderly. 4. Pain: Pain often occurs in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region, sometimes it can appear in the upper abdomen, thighs and hip joints, and it is aggravated during menstruation, defecation or sexual intercourse, 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 have symptoms such as nausea, which affects sexual life. 5.Increased vaginal discharge: Clinically, about 75%-85% of cervical cancer patients have different degrees of increased vaginal discharge. Most of them are manifested as increased leucorrhea, which is later accompanied by changes in smell and color. Under normal circumstances, the nature and amount of leukorrhea are determined by the rise and fall of ovarian function. In women of reproductive age, leucorrhea has cyclic changes; in postmenopausal women, leucorrhea is minimal. In cervical cancer patients, due to the stimulation of the cancer, the secretion function of the cervical glands is hyperactive, producing mucus-like leucorrhea, so patients of childbearing age no longer have cyclical changes in leucorrhea properties and volume: postmenopausal patients, on the other hand, have an increase in leucorrhea volume, which is sticky and sometimes bloody. This kind of abnormal leucorrhea, including the increase in volume and the change in its nature, is an early symptom of cervical cancer. Four different types of cervical cancer 1. Cauliflower or papillary type: the most common, it is an exophytic type of cancer, cauliflower-like, usually occurs in the lip of the cervix, with little diffusion, often accompanied by necrosis, infection and bleeding, and sensitive to radiation. 2.Infiltrative type: mainly infiltrative growth, less bleeding, but more invasive and less sensitive to radiation. Ulcerated type: Less common than cauliflower type, the cancer tissue first destroys the surface of cervix, then gradually infiltrates and destroys more and forms ulcer. This type mostly occurs in cervical lip and cervical canal, necrotic tissue is often seen, easily combined with infection, and still sensitive to radiation. 4, nodular type: the least common, general hypertrophy of the cervix, mainly to the deep infiltration of the cervix. It generally looks like hard rubber or board-like hard, and is moderately sensitive to radiation.
