Vulvar cancer is a disease that we should pay attention to, especially its causes. It should also be clearly prevented in daily life and prevented from occurring in multiple ways.
Causes of vulvar cancer
1. Vulvar infection: Vulvitis caused by menstruation of sexually transmitted diseases, viruses, bacteria, trichomonas, fungi, etc. The external genitalia is the initial and most common site.
2. Mechanical stimulation: poor hygiene habits, external genital dirt, tight underwear, sweat stimulation, etc.
3. Allergic Vulvitis: Allergic dermatitis caused by detergents, cosmetics, penile condoms and medical appliances.
4. Foreign bodies in the vagina: Prolonged placement of uterine trays or foreign bodies leaving the vagina can stimulate the external genitalia and cause swelling and pain.
5. Irritation of urine and feces: diabetes irritation of patients with urinary diseases, fecal feeding, and diabetes.
6. Systemic diseases: diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, papular psoriasis, etc.
7. Malignant tumor of vulva: vulva cancer, Vaginal cancer, etc.
8. Externally clear Pap's gland abscess.
9. Unidentified Vulvodynia: swelling and pain in the vestibule of the vulva with frequent urination, urgency of urination, and urinary disease syndrome. The pathogenesis is unknown.
10. Post traumatic hematoma: It can also cause severe swelling and pain.
Hazards of vulvar cancer
Phase 1: All lesions are limited to the external genitalia, with a maximum diameter of 2 centimeters or less. There is no suspicious metastasis of inguinal lymph nodes.
Phase II: All lesions are limited to the external genitalia, with a maximum diameter exceeding 2 centimeters. There is no suspicious metastasis of inguinal lymph nodes.
Phase III: The lesion extends beyond the external genitalia, and there is no metastasis or suspected metastasis to the inguinal lymph nodes.
Phase 4: There are one of the following situations.
① The fixation or rupture of inguinal lymph nodes is undoubtedly a metastatic disease in clinical practice.
② Lesions that invade the mucosa of the rectum, bladder, or urethra, or cancer associated with bone fixation.
③ Distant metastasis or contact with deep pelvic lymph nodes.
Prevention of vulvar cancer
1. Develop good lifestyle habits, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Smoking, as predicted by the World Health Organization, if people no longer smoke, five years from now, there will be a one-third reduction in cancer worldwide, followed by not drinking alcohol. Smoking and alcohol are very acidic substances, and people who smoke and drink for a long time are prone to developing an acidic constitution.
2. Elderly and weak individuals or individuals with genetic predispositions to certain diseases should consume cancer prevention foods and alkaline foods with high alkalinity to maintain a good mental state.
