Cervical Cancer: Symptoms, Prevention, and Treatment
Cervical cancer is a critical global women's health issue. Misconceptions about its symptoms, treatment methods, and prevention can put women's health at risk. At Dr. Supriya Women's Clinic, we prioritize personalized medical care, guided by experienced cervical cancer specialists.
What is Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer is a malignant growth in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus connected to the vagina. The primary cause is Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection. While many HPV infections resolve naturally, some persistent strains can lead to cervical cancer over time.
Symptoms of Cervical Cancer
- 🔘 Unusual vaginal discharge – Brownish or pinkish with a foul odor.
- 🔘 Abnormal bleeding – Bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or post-menopause.
- 🔘 Pelvic pain – Persistent discomfort in the lower abdomen.
- 🔘 Pain during intercourse – Increased sensitivity or discomfort.
- 🔘 Frequent urinary issues – Including blood in urine or difficulty urinating.
Prevention of Cervical Cancer
- 🔘 Regular screenings – Pap smears and HPV tests help detect precancerous changes early.
- 🔘 HPV vaccination – Recommended for young girls and women up to 26 years of age.
- 🔘 Safe sexual practices – Using condoms and limiting multiple partners reduces HPV risk.
- 🔘 Healthy lifestyle – A balanced diet, no smoking, and a strong immune system contribute to lower cancer risk.
Treatment Options for Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer treatment depends on its stage and the patient's health condition. Common treatment methods include:
- 🔘 Surgery – Removal of cancerous tissues through procedures like hysterectomy or conization.
- 🔘 Radiation therapy – High-energy radiation targets and destroys cancer cells.
- 🔘 Chemotherapy – Drug treatment to kill cancer cells, typically in advanced cases.
