Cervical cancer is a familiar disease as well as a serious gynecological malignant tumor, which will do serious harm to the life and body of patients after illness. We must pay attention to the early signs.
Pathological types of Cervical cancer
1. Cervical intraepithelial tumor changes: the general term of cervical atypical hyperplasia and cervical Carcinoma in situ, which are precancerous lesions of cervical invasive carcinoma. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia will not break through the Basement membrane, without interstitial infiltration.
2. Cervical invasive cancer: refers to the cancer tissue breaking through the Basement membrane of cervical epithelium and invading the cervical stroma. The most common type of invasive carcinoma of the cervix is Stratified squamous epithelium carcinoma, followed by adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, clear cell carcinoma, etc.
Symptoms of Cervical cancer
1. Contact bleeding: after sexual intercourse or constipation, Vaginal discharge (leucorrhea) mixed with drops of blood, which was filamentous and dark red. Women over the age of 30 who have given birth to couples living together suddenly have vaginal spotty bleeding after sexual intercourse, which must be regarded as an early signal of Cervical cancer.
2. Irregular vaginal bleeding: manifested as a small amount of non menstrual vaginal bleeding between two menstrual periods and vaginal bleeding after amenorrhea. The former is easily seen as menstrual irregularities, while the latter is easily seen as a manifestation of menopause. However, this irregular vaginal bleeding is the initial symptom of the patient in the early stage of Cervical cancer.
3. Abnormal Vaginal discharge: most of them show an increase in leucorrhea, accompanied by changes in color and smell. The symptoms of increased vaginal discharge generally appear later than contact bleeding, initially with normal color and odor, gradually turning into serous secretions. Late stage cervical cancer can have rice like or water like vaginal discharge.
Detection methods for cervical cancer
1. Electronic colposcopy magnifies at 40x to examine the cervix
The electronic Colposcopy can magnify the cervical and vaginal mucosa 5~40 times, and is called the health guard of women. The reproductive tract, such as the cervix, vagina and vulva, can be expanded 10~40 times, and no small lesions can be seen with the naked eye. The indications of biopsy under the microscope include special diseases of vulva, Vaginitis, Cervicitis, cervical erosion, and other refractory vaginal and cervical diseases. Its diagnostic accuracy reaches over 92%.
2. High risk HPV detection captures early cervical cancer in cervical cancer
About 5% of the women tested have HPV virus infection. High risk HPV detection technology is a fast and effective detection method to capture early cervical lesions, making it a reality for women to prevent and treat cervical diseases. Female friends can determine whether they are infected with HPV virus with just a simple test, and simply kill the budding state. Cervical lesions are a disease that can be prevented and treated. The detection rate of high-risk HPV for early cervical cancer is over 99%.
