Cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide and  can affect women of all ages. However, it is most often diagnosed in women between  35 and years of age.

 Causes of cervical cancer:

 The main cause of cervical cancer is infection with  human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted virus. There are more than 100 different types of HPV, and some types can cause cervical cancer. Other factors that can increase the risk of  cervical cancer include smoking,  a weakened immune system,  a family history of cervical cancer, and  multiple sexual partners. 

 Symptoms of cervical cancer:

 Cervical cancer does not necessarily cause symptoms in its early stages. As the cancer progresses, symptoms may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or discomfort, pain during intercourse, and unusual vaginal discharge. It is important to note that these symptoms can be caused by other diseases, so it is important to consult a doctor to get a proper diagnosis. 

 Prevention and early detection of cervical cancer:

 The most effective way to prevent cervical cancer is  the HPV vaccine. The HPV vaccine protects against the types of HPV that cause most cases of cervical cancer, as well as against other types of HPV that can cause other types of cancer. The vaccine is recommended for  males and females between  9 and 26 years of age.

 Regular cervical cancer screening is also important for early detection. A Pap test is a test that checks for abnormal cells on the cervix. It is recommended that women start regular Pap tests from the age of 21. In addition, the new  HPV test can also detect the presence of the virus that causes cervical cancer. Women should discuss with their healthcare provider which exams are right for them. 

 Treatment of cervical cancer:

 Treatment of cervical cancer depends on the stage of the cancer and other factors such as the woman's age and general health. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these treatments.

  In summary, cervical cancer is a common female cancer  that can be prevented by vaccination and detected early by regular screening. Women should consult with their health care provider to determine  appropriate screening and vaccination. If cervical cancer is diagnosed, early treatment can lead to a better outcome.

"Recognizing Blood Cancer: Unusual Symptoms to Watch For"

A form of cancer known as multiple myeloma develops in plasma cells, a subset of white blood cells that aid in the body's defense against infections by producing antibodies. It is typified by the unchecked proliferation and build-up of aberrant plasma cells in the bone marrow, which can displace good blood-forming cells and obstruct the generation of platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells. blood cancer symptoms These aberrant cells also generate a lot of M protein, or monoclonal protein, a particular class of antibody. A thorough strategy that takes into account imaging data, laboratory results, clinical symptoms, and bone marrow analysis is necessary for the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. After a diagnosis, the patient's condition and the degree of the disease involvement can be used to guide the staging and subsequent treatment planning.

Report

Thank you for your continued support. I have an announcement to make to all of you.

My mother just had a successful surgery! Thank you doctors.

I was also happy to receive encouraging words from many listeners. My mother was also happy.

Thank you so much.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am writing this blog to share with you in all seriousness. Especially for women, if you have a partner (girlfriend or wife) or a woman (mother or sister) in your family, I would like to talk to you.

First of all, my mother's disease was called "breast cancer. I didn't know any of my relatives or family members had cancer in their family, and I didn't have any ancestors who died of cancer. So when my mother told me about her breast cancer, I was very surprised. I still remember myself crying more than my mother, even though of course she wanted to cry more than me.

Today, my mother's surgery was a success. From now on, I would like to monitor her progress after the surgery. I am really relieved that it was a success. I am grateful to the doctors. I was also happy to hear the encouraging words of many listeners. Before the surgery, I told my mother about the words of encouragement from the listeners and she was really happy. Thank you so much.

And I would like to reiterate my thoughts. I decided to get regular mammograms and cervical cancer screenings. My mother had been tested before, but it came suddenly. This time my mother's breast cancer was detected early, which is why her surgery was successful. If it had progressed earlier, it would have been more difficult than it is now.

I would like to tell all the women out there, including myself, to get regular checkups. Get checked regularly. Cherish your life. And for your partner and family.

Hi Haitch! So I have a health question you might be able to answer? Or maybe I just need some wisdom? I’m 24 and I need to go to the gynecologist because I’ve never done that before and I probably should. Im nervous for several reasons, but I found a good one that is super trauma informed so I think it’ll be okay.

Here’s where my question comes in: I’m disabled and I have bad hip dysplasia. Like there’s no way I can lay on my back and bend enough, or be on all 4s. it’s not happening. I’m also not wanting to do it under sedation because i feel like I won’t have autonomy and it’s really important that I feel safe and in control. I saw that it’s possible to lay on your side to have an exam done, but do you have any advice on how to handle it? The doctor knows I’m disabled but what do I do if she doesn’t want to do the exam on my side? Are there any alternatives? I know I just gave a bunch of requirements and obstacles, but it’s something I’m not sure what to about.

Hiya! There are lots of things to unpack here, so let's begin...

You're only 24-- you haven't mentioned any concerning signs or symptoms, why do you need a 'routine' gynaecology check? It always concerns me when I see American women talk about gynaecology checks, because there seems to be this unspoken understanding that you will be expected to undergo invasive internal examinations. So let me ask again-- why do you 'need' a routine gynaecology check? These are in no way routine in the US, and having looked up what I can see, gynaecological health and outcomes are actually worse on average for US women compared to British women, so your Gynae doctors there clearly aren't picking up much to save women's lives with all these routine invasive procedures.

As someone who performs very frequent internal vaginal examinations, there is little that a Gynae doctor could detect just from looking or feeling inside your vagina. Unless you need a cervical screening/pap smear, which yours on the young side for unless you have a family history of early cervical cancer, or symptoms, you don't sound like you need this, from the information given.

Internal examinations can absolutely be performed lying on your side. You would be lying on your side with your knees drawn up to a right angle. Any doctor that says they can't is ignorant or a liar and don't feel pressured to hand over your comfort, autonomy or dignity. Quite frankly.

Also ask specifically why you need someone to fiddle around inside your vagina, or I swear to god I am going to come over there and deck someone.

Now I'm worried about you. Wish I could help you out more.

Love, very much love, maybe hugs too,

-- Haitch xxx

Cervical Cancer: Understanding the Disease, Prevention, and Treatment

Introduction:

Cervical cancer is a significant health concern affecting women worldwide. It is a type of cancer that develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. In this blog, we will explore the key aspects of cervical cancer, including its causes, risk factors, prevention strategies, early detection methods, and treatment options.

Causes and Risk Factors:

The primary cause of cervical cancer is persistent infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. Other risk factors include smoking, a weakened immune system, long-term use of oral contraceptives, multiple sexual partners, and a history of sexually transmitted infections. Understanding these risk factors can help individuals make informed choices to reduce their chances of developing cervical cancer.

Prevention Strategies:

Prevention is key when it comes to cervical cancer. Vaccination against HPV is a crucial preventive measure and is recommended for both males and females before they become sexually active. Regular cervical cancer screenings, such as Pap tests and HPV tests, are vital for early detection and intervention. Practising safe sex, maintaining good sexual health, and quitting smoking are additional preventive strategies that can significantly reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer.

Early Detection and Screening:

Regular cervical cancer screenings are essential for early detection and treatment. Pap tests, also known as Pap smears, involve collecting cells from the cervix and examining them for abnormal changes. HPV tests detect the presence of high-risk HPV strains in cervical cells. These screenings can identify precancerous changes or early-stage cervical cancer when it is most treatable.

Treatment Options:

The choice of treatment for cervical cancer depends on various factors, such as the stage of cancer, the individual's age, and overall health. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these modalities. Surgery aims to remove the cancerous tissue, while radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy employs drugs to destroy cancer cells or stop their growth. The treatment plan is personalised to each individual's unique situation and is determined by a team of healthcare professionals specialising in gynecologic oncology.

Conclusion:

Cervical cancer is a preventable and treatable disease when detected early. Understanding the causes, risk factors, and preventive strategies are crucial steps in reducing the incidence of cervical cancer. Regular screenings and vaccinations are fundamental in early detection and intervention. If diagnosed, various treatment options are available to manage the disease effectively. By raising awareness, promoting preventive measures, and encouraging regular screenings, we can strive towards a future where cervical cancer becomes a rarity. Together, we can make a significant impact in the fight against cervical cancer and improve women's health worldwide.

Differences in cervical cancer screening guidelines around the world

When looking for information about cervical screening* I noticed that the guidelines differ from country to country, and that even supposedly reliable sources offer rather inconsistent and often contradictory information. The point of this ‘survey’ is to find out more about the cervical cancer screening recommendations (and gynecological care in general) around the world, and to start an open discussion about this. The questions and more info are under the cut.

Reblogs are welcome but I realize this is a sensitive topic. If you don't want to publish this post and your answers on your blog, answering the questions in the comments is more than enough. If you want to respond anonymously, you can put the answers in my ask box.

1. Where do you live?

2. What is the recommended age for starting cervical cancer screening (also called pap smear, smear test, or cervical cytology) in your country?

3. Is cervical cancer screening in your country recommended for people who have never had any kind of sexual contact? Is it recommended for people who have never had penetrative vaginal intercourse?

4. What information about hymens** have you been taught in sex-ed class, biology class, or told by healthcare professionals? Do doctors in your country try to avoid tearing the hymen during exams if the patient has a small hymenal opening (for example using smaller instruments)?

5. Have you ever been pressured into a gynecological exam or procedure that you didn't want or didn't think you needed?

6. Have you ever been discouraged or prevented from getting a gynecological exam or procedure that you thought you needed?

Feel free to share any opinions or experiences relevant to this topic.

* Cervical cancer screening, pap smear, smear test, or cervical cytology is a medical test that examines a sample of cells from the cervix (a part of the uterus that protrudes into the vagina) and often helps detect pre-cancerous or cancerous changes early enough to treat. A speculum or a similar instrument is used to visualize the cervix; and a brush, a cotton swab, or a similar instrument is used to collect cells from the ectocervix and the external cervical os.

** The hymen (also called the hymenal ring or the vaginal corona) is a thin piece of mucosal tissue that surrounds or partially covers the vaginal opening. In the past it was often assumed that hymenal tissue always tears and bleeds during the first intercourse, which is of course an inaccurate and heteronormative overgeneralization. The thickness and elasticity of the tissue, and the size and shape of the opening (or sometimes multiple openings) are extremely diverse. Some hymens are fragile enough to tear during completely non-sexual activities, such as sports, some can gradually stretch out or wear down with tampon use, some can accommodate even penile penetration without tearing. Some people with vaginas are born without any hymenal tissue at all, and on the other side of the spectrum there are hymens that can't even let menstrual fluid out of the vagina so a surgery is necessary to create a sufficient opening. Some people don`t experience any discomfort when the hymenal tissue stretches or tears, while others feel significant pain.

idk if you actually wanna know the details behind the hpv screening being at a later age/less frequent now so please feel free to ignore and delete this but it basically comes down to most/all cervical cancers being secondary to hpv infection, and the new process detects infection preceding even low grade cancer changes, so it can be caught earlier in the disease course now! (before it was literally looking at abnormal cells under a microscope (i.e. precancer changes) vs now detecting for the hpv dna)

this change came literally during the last decade and there is definitely still a general feeling of "ok but how can we be sure" from generations that were used to the early/greater frequency screening programs which is understandable imo

(of course, caveat is that all of this is for primary screening of people without risk factors. source: the australian cancer council website article on it, also i am a doctor. )

ohhhh okay thank you so much <3 I've had. sdfjdfsh. A lot of bad experiences with my local doctors so hearing from another source that yes this is normal and it's just a new change because we've improved the process that everyone is adjusting to does help me feel better about it.

What’s your advice for girls in their twenties? What do you wish somebody told you?//

Adding on to health insurance: know how your insurance works. Learn about your copay, your deductible, your percentage of coinsurance after meeting your deductible. Learn about HSA and FSA plans and employer contributions.

Don’t pick the cheapest insurance. Usually employers offer a very cheap option with limited benefits. And you’ll be tempted because you’ll tell yourself you aren’t sick ever or rarely see your doctor. But if something major does happen, you’re stuck with that bill. Insurance means the difference between a 3,000 bill vs a 30,000 bill. I wish I was exaggerating.

Don’t skip your annuals. Cervical and ovarian cancer are the leading cause of death in women but are so treatable if detected early enough. This I cannot stress enough because I started needing paps every 3 months for years and have had more biopsies than anyone ever should. But I stopped the cancer.

Last: be your own advocate. Doctors will gloss over your health stating that it’s a comorbidity due to obesity, etc. You know your body. If something isn’t right, you keep going to doctors until you find one that listens. That could be the difference between life and death.

And yet more great advice!

What are Sign and Risk Factor of Cervical Cancer ? Which Hospital Cerivcal Cancer Specialist in Delhi?

Cervical cancer is a significant health concern affecting women worldwide. While advancements in medical science have improved our understanding of the disease and its prevention, it remains crucial for women to be aware of the signs and risk factors associated with cervical cancer. Early detection can greatly increase the chances of successful treatment. In this article, we will explore the signs and risk factors of cervical cancer.

Signs of Cervical Cancer

Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding: One of the most common signs of cervical cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding. This can manifest as bleeding between menstrual periods, after intercourse, or after menopause. Any unexplained vaginal bleeding should be promptly reported to a healthcare provider.

Pelvic Pain: Persistent, unexplained pelvic pain or discomfort can be a sign of cervical cancer. This pain may occur during intercourse or at other times and should not be ignored.

Pain During Intercourse: Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse, known as dyspareunia, can also be indicative of cervical cancer. It may occur due to the growth of tumors in the cervix.

Unusual Vaginal Discharge: An unusual vaginal discharge that is watery, bloody, or has a foul odor may be a sign of cervical cancer. It is essential to differentiate between normal vaginal discharge and unusual changes.

Painful Urination: Cervical cancer Treatment in Delhi can sometimes cause urinary symptoms, including painful urination. However, this is less common than other symptoms and can also be caused by various other conditions.

Fatigue and Weight Loss: As with many cancers, cervical cancer can cause general symptoms like fatigue and unexplained weight loss. These symptoms are often seen in advanced stages of the disease.

Risk Factors of Cervical Cancer

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection: HPV is the leading risk factor for cervical cancer. It is a common sexually transmitted infection that can lead to changes in cervical cells, potentially progressing to cancer over time. Vaccination against HPV is available and recommended for young individuals to reduce this risk.

Smoking: Smoking is a significant risk factor for cervical cancer. Women who smoke are more likely to develop the disease and have a higher chance of it progressing to an advanced stage.

Weak Immune System: A weakened immune system, often due to conditions like HIV/AIDS or immunosuppressive medications, can increase the risk of cervical cancer. A robust immune system helps the body fight off HPV infections.

Early Age of Sexual Activity: Engaging in sexual activity at an early age, particularly before the age of 18, increases the risk of exposure to HPV and, consequently, cervical cancer.

Multiple Sexual Partners: Having multiple sexual partners can increase the risk of HPV infection, which is a primary cause of cervical cancer. Cervical Cancer Doctor in Delhi

Family History: Women with a family history of cervical cancer may have a higher risk due to possible genetic factors or shared environmental exposures.

Oral Contraceptive Use: Long-term use of oral contraceptives (birth control pills) may slightly increase the risk of cervical cancer. However, this risk decreases after stopping their use.

Socioeconomic Factors: Limited access to healthcare and regular screenings can also increase the risk, as cervical cancer may not be detected in its early stages.
