The incidence of cervical cancer among women is increasing, which is of course caused by some bad habits of women themselves. Some women like to stay up late, eat some food indiscriminately, and do not pay attention to their sexual hygiene, etc. These can all trigger the occurrence of cervical cancer. So do female friends know what signals are there in the early stage of cervical cancer? Let's take a look now, how can we detect the presence of cervical cancer in a timely manner?
Early detection suggests that cervical cancer is a treatable 'cancer'
Not all cancers are incurable. Cervical cancer, as long as detected early, is a curable cancer and is not inherently terrifying.
Cervical cancer is the only one of the three major cancers that women are prone to (breast cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer) with a clear cause and can be diagnosed, prevented and controlled early. The earlier it is found, the easier it will be cured.
However, cervical cancer may not have obvious symptoms in the early stages and is easily overlooked. In addition, due to insufficient awareness of early screening for cervical cancer, some patients are diagnosed with invasive cancer (the evolutionary process of cancer: precancerous lesions → in situ cancer → invasive cancer is also the final step in the trilogy).
What are the initial manifestations of cervical cancer in women
There are no obvious symptoms of early cervical cancer, but when female friends experience the following three symptoms, they must pay extra attention.
1. Irregular vaginal bleeding
Some women experience vaginal bleeding during menstruation, sometimes believing that their menstrual cycle is irregular, which may actually be an early signal of cervical cancer. In addition, some menopausal women clearly do not menstruate and experience sudden vaginal bleeding. At this point, they also need to be vigilant about whether they have cervical cancer, rather than menopause.
2. Contact bleeding (intraventricular bleeding)
Some women, especially those who have already been born, are over 30 years old and if they experience sexual bleeding, it is okay to occasionally have one or two episodes. If there is a lot of bleeding in the same room, you need to pay attention to whether you have cervical cancer.
3. Abnormal vaginal discharge (vaginal discharge)
The normal vaginal discharge in women is usually white or transparent, with no odor. If there is a sudden increase in vaginal discharge, if there is blood color, or if there is a foul odor, it is necessary to be vigilant about whether you have cervical cancer.
Through the above introduction, we have learned about some early signals of cervical cancer. In this way, once an abnormality is found, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Early treatment of cervical cancer has the possibility of cure, but it is difficult to treat in the later stage. In severe cases, the patient will die.
