Cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor of female reproductive organs and the second most common gynecological cancer in terms of incidence. The familiar and favorite movie stars Li Yuan Yuan and Anita Mui lost their precious lives to cervical cancer. According to the long-term observation of medical experts, more than 98% of cervical disease patients have HPV, which is the main factor causing cervical disease and cervical precancerous lesions.
Emergency survey of HPV accident scenes –
The most stealthy cervical accident: condyloma acuminata
HPV infection is followed by an incubation period of 3 weeks to 6 months, and the patient usually does not feel any discomfort. The lesion will grow in the genital area with papillae or cauliflower-shaped growths of varying sizes. The warts are light red or dark brown, without itching or pain. The doctor diagnosed the warts as condyloma acuminata. However, because the warts occur in the cervical area, the patient cannot see them themselves, so they cannot be detected. With the passage of time of the infection, the patient will seek medical attention only when there is an increase in leucorrhea, odorous discharge, and bleeding after sex.
Prolotherapy: not the worst thing!
HPV is mostly transmitted through sexual intercourse and is usually asymptomatic. the infection rate is highest in women aged 18 to 28 who are sexually active. When infected with the virus, it is not the worst thing to have warts on the cervix, which doctors call a “subtype of infection”. This is because warts do not cause the cells to become cancerous, thus avoiding the occurrence of cervical cancer, which can be treated with drugs, lasers, etc.
The office in the field: pay attention to your daily life!
HPV infection can be contracted through direct contact, in addition to sexual intercourse being the main transmission route. In other words, if you come in contact with objects such as bath towels, bathtubs and toilets with HPV virus in your daily life and bring the virus into the genitalia and other mucous membrane areas, the infection may occur. In addition, because patients in the latent stage of HPV do not feel discomfort, a large number of infected patients go undetected and become carriers, and these people infect others through various means. Therefore, the chances of HPV virus transmission are very high.
Pro office: only 10-15% of women have persistent infection!
But there is no need to be too nervous, if effective treatment is carried out at this time, for example, the doctor will use laser and other methods to remove the cervical erosion surface, and after the new trauma grows out, after testing to see if the HPV virus disappears. Usually, the appropriate treatment and the body’s own immune response have the potential to remove the virus. If the virus is not cleared and survives in the body, it becomes a persistent infection and can cause cervical cancer. However, only 10-15% of women have persistent infection and are at risk of developing cancer.
The most stressful cervical accident: cervical cancer
Human papillomavirus (HPV) can be detected in 99.8% of cervical cancer patients. The most common signs of cervical cancer are post-coital bleeding, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and foul-smelling vaginal discharge. However, if cervical cancer invades the adjacent normal tissues next to the uterus and the nerves in the pelvic cavity wall, sciatica, lower abdominal pain, and in severe cases, ureteral obstruction, hydronephrosis, and finally uremia may result. At the end of the disease, patients may develop wasting, anemia, fever and general failure.
Pro Office: If the lesion is detected and treated at an early stage, the cure rate is almost 100%!
HPV infection is an important warning, and although not all HPV infections can develop into cervical cancer, it is important to give high priority to the management of HPV. The common response of doctors is to “treat the disease as the virus” by treating the cervical lesions caused by HPV infection to remove the virus. The normal cervical lesion occurs after HPV infection, and it usually takes about 10 years to develop from cervical precancerous lesion to cervical cancer, so there is enough time to treat HPV infection, and the key is to pay attention to this virus infection. If the lesions are detected and treated at an early stage, the cure rate is almost 100%.
The perfect cervical proposal for 5 types of women
Most HPV infections are transmitted through sexual intercourse. Both men and women have the opportunity to be infected with HPV, and men are mainly infected with “warts” type STDs. In women, the worst outcome of HPV infection can be cervical cancer. Gynecologists remind the following women to have regular cervical cancer screening.
1. Premature women.
Girls who have started their sexual life too early usually also show precocious maturity of their sexual organs physiologically, which invariably increases the probability of disease.
2. Erotic women.
These women maintain a frequent sex life in their daily lives, and have good expectations and active requirements for sex, so they should know how to maintain and protect their private parts from disease.
3, open type of women.
If you have more than 1 sexual partner, it is more important for you to know the dangers you face. In addition to your own annual HPV screening, you must also make sure that all your sexual partners are free of HPV infection.
4. Forbearing women.
This type of woman has a spouse who has other sexual partners, which is obviously a tricky thing to do. You should not think that you can escape the disease as long as you are innocent, unless you never have sex with him, you have to go to the point of urging your self and your lover to get screened for HPV even.
5. Ego-type women.
The more egoistic women sometimes have difficulty in changing the vices in their lives, such as smoking, drinking and nightlife, such habits will lead to a decline in immunity and ultimately increase the chances of getting the disease. Regular screening can at least protect yourself.
HPV screening experience released
For women, having a gynecological examination is a necessary part of taking care of themselves, it is even more important than doing beauty and fitness. If a middle-aged woman tests negative for HPV infection and also does not have any cellular lesions, her doctor will confidently say that she does not need to undergo similar tests for the next 5 years. If you want to enjoy your love life, you have to start by taking care of your intimate area.
Method 1
Membrane based ultrathin cytology (TCT for short)
A small brush is used to take a sample from the vagina for a few seconds without pain, and then a “cell preservation solution” is used to separate out impurities in the collected sample, creating a clear cell smear that can detect whether you have HPV.
Method 2
HPV-DNA virology test
The collected cell sample is divided into two parts, one for detecting suspicious cells and one for detecting HPV infection with a special instrument. This test can detect not only whether you have HPV infection or not, but also the amount of the virus.
Method 3
Colposcopic localization “biopsy”
After the examination reveals suspicious cells, the doctor will need to do a pathology biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. The doctor will look through the colposcope to see the lesions on the surface blood vessels of the cervix. A small “cervical biopsy forceps” and a “cervical spoon” are used to remove several pieces of tissue from the cervix and place them in separate vials for pathological examination to facilitate treatment.
Remember.
1. Do not do the screening during menstruation
2. Do not have sexual intercourse within 24 hours before screening
3. Do not douche the vagina or use intravaginal medication for 3 days before the test.
