1, washing female private parts can't avoid human papillomavirus.
According to a survey conducted by the Taiwan Province Cancer Foundation, nearly 60% of young women are unclear about the carcinogenicity of human papillomavirus and have misunderstandings. Doctors suggest that the only way for women to protect themselves is to adopt the dual protection of smear and vaccine and implement safe sex.
1. There are nearly 1600 cases of cervical cancer every year.
The incidence and mortality of cervical cancer has been ranked seventh among female cancers in Taiwan Province Province. Although the morbidity and mortality are on the decline, there are still nearly 65,438+0,600 cases of cervical cancer in Taiwan Province Province every year, resulting in more than 700 deaths, taking the lives of about 2 women every day on average.
Secondly, 57.8% people are not aware of human papillomavirus.
Taiwan Province Cancer Foundation continues to promote the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. Recently, it conducted a survey on the cognition of cervical cancer and human papillomavirus among young people aged 18 ~ 25, and recovered 1070 valid questionnaires. The survey found that 57.8% people are unclear about human papillomavirus, which is misunderstood and easily confused with other viral diseases.
Third, women's private parts will inevitably be infected with the virus.
Some women think that cleaning the body (5 1. 1%) and cleaning women's private parts (7.5%) can avoid human papillomavirus infection, and even think that urinating (17.3%) and drinking more water (1%).
Fourth, there are no symptoms after human papillomavirus infection.
Lai, CEO of Taiwan Province Cancer Foundation, stressed that human papillomavirus infection not only has no symptoms, but also has no drugs to remove. If there are clinical symptoms, it may have developed into cervical cancer. Zhang Zhilong, director of the Department of Gynecological Cancer, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, MacKay Memorial Hospital, added that since there are many types of HPV, it is also an international trend to add more types of HPV protection to vaccines.
Five, regular smear examination, vaccination.
Remind women not only to have regular smear tests, but also to be vaccinated against cervical cancer according to the doctor's advice. Patients with cervical cancer often ask about vaccines in outpatient clinics. These patients who also have the role of mothers will take their daughters to get the cervical cancer vaccine, because they know the physical and mental pain caused by the disease and really protect their children's health.
2. How to prevent cervical cancer?
With the continuous improvement of medical and health care conditions, the general survey of women has been widely carried out, and the prevalence of cervical cancer has dropped significantly, especially in advanced cervical cancer. The epidemiological study of cervical cancer shows that the risk factors of cervical cancer are marriage, cervical erosion, skin scaling, sexual behavior, sexually transmitted diseases and virus infection. In view of these risk factors, preventive measures can be taken:
(1) Regular gynecological examination and cervical TCT examination. If abnormal cervical TCT is found, further treatment should be carried out.
(2) Pay attention to health care during menstruation, pregnancy and puerperium, develop good hygiene habits, and reduce or prevent cervicitis.
(3) Actively treat chronic cervicitis, especially those with long-term leucorrhea increase or abnormal bleeding of female private parts, and immediately go to the hospital for examination and take effective treatment measures.
(4) Adopt new methods to avoid cervical laceration during delivery or abortion. Once there is a laceration, surgical suture is needed.
(5) Anyone who needs to remove both ovaries due to some gynecological diseases should also remove the uterus. In general, subtotal hysterectomy is not appropriate to avoid residual cervical cancer.
(6) advocate late marriage and fewer children.
3. What should I pay attention to in preventing cervical cancer?
(1) To prevent cervical cancer, we must first recognize the early symptoms of cervical cancer and find and treat the symptoms as soon as possible.
Abnormal bleeding in female private parts. The most common is contact bleeding, that is, bleeding after contact with cervix after sexual life or gynecological examination. The amount of bleeding in the early stage is small, and the focus is large in the later stage, which is characterized by massive bleeding. Some young patients can also show prolonged menstrual period, shortened cycle and increased menstrual flow.
Female private parts excrete more. White or bloody, thin as water or rice swill, with foul smell. In the late stage, due to secondary infection, a large number of purulent or rice-soup-like malodorous leucorrhea appeared.
(2) If menopausal women have abnormal menstruation or bleeding after sexual life, they should be alert to the possibility of reproductive tract cancer and actively do a good job in cervical cancer screening.
(3) advocate late marriage and fewer children. If the man has problems such as long foreskin, he should be diagnosed as soon as possible to avoid inducing cervical cancer in women and have moderate sexual life. Too many sexual partners and frequent sexual life can induce cervical cancer.
(4) Prevention and treatment of cervical erosion, polyps, condyloma, leukoplakia and other cervical inflammatory diseases.
(5) Avoiding smoking can prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer. Smoking will increase the incidence of invasive cervical cancer, especially squamous cell carcinoma. Low intake of vitamin C in smokers' diet will increase the risk of cervical cancer. At the same time, long-term smoking will weaken the body's protective factors.
4. Common causes of cervical cancer
1) and sex and marriage. The incidence of cervical cancer in women who have sex prematurely (that is, before 18 years old) is four times higher than that in women who have sex after 18 years old. When women start sex prematurely and suffer from sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea, the incidence of cervical cancer is six times higher than that of normal women. Studies have proved that if women have sex with multiple men, they are more likely to suffer from cervical cancer, while virgins rarely suffer from cervical cancer.
2) Relationship with spouse Some people think that the husband's foreskin is too long or phimosis has a higher relative risk of cervical cancer. If a man has tintin cancer or prostate cancer or his ex-wife has cervical cancer, and a man has multiple sexual partners, his wife's chances of getting cervical cancer will increase.
3) Cervical erosion, laceration and eversion are easily stimulated by various physical, chemical and biological factors, including trauma, hormones and viruses, due to physiological and anatomical reasons of the cervix.
4) People who sit in one place for a long time or don't move for a long time will accumulate toxins, such as mahjong and chess activities and office activities. Prevention of cervical cancer requires more exercise and can be eliminated. This is also the cause of most diseases.
