Cervical cancer usually affects people in their 30s and 60s, but people in their 40s and 50s are more likely to get it. Lower and lower middle class families of the society and backward women are more affected by this disease.

This disease occurs very slowly. It takes more than two decades for cervical cancer to develop. The first change is that the mantle cells become abnormal. Its name is dysplasia; Not cancer. Cervical cells can return to normal from dysplasia for a long time, and can turn into cancer again. Participating in cancer screening can easily diagnose dysplasia, cancer in situ (cancer in situ). In the early stages of the disease, even in the second stage of the disease, there are no symptoms. So it is difficult to diagnose the disease at an early stage if you are not aware of the disease.

Cancer can be detected easily and at very low cost before and at an early stage. It has a 100 percent chance of curing cancer. The higher the stage of the disease, the less likely it is to be cured. However, cervical cancer is a type of cancer which is detected in the second and third stages but has a 60 to 75 percent chance of being cured. Even if the disease is curable, with treatment the patient can be brought to a symptom-free normal life. But if the treatment is not done properly, the diseased area grows again. Diseases of the uterine organs such as the bladder, anus, and lower abdomen are widespread. Later it spreads to other organs such as lungs, liver, bones, lymph nodes.

Cervical cancer screening

There are no symptoms of cervical cancer but there is a risk for cervical cancer, so check to see if there is cancer. As a result, the incidence of this disease has decreased in developed countries. Mortality rate also decreases.

Peps smear test

This is a simple test. Examination with juice from the cervix with a microscopic instrument. This test can be used to detect cancer, pre-cancerous conditions and other diseases of the cervix such as inflammation. It does not cause any pain. The cost of this test is also low. Tests can usually be started in married women three years after marriage (after the age of 21, not earlier). This test should be done every three years from the age of 30 to 64 years. However, this routine may change on the advice of a doctor.

Vaya test

Direct observation by soaking the cervix with 3 to 5 percent acetic acid liquid. If the color of the cervix does not change in this test or if it looks white, it is suspected as cancer.

Responsible HPV

Human papilloma virus (HPV) is primarily responsible for cervical cancer. The link between HPV and cervical cancer was discovered almost two decades ago. It is transmitted through sexual contact. Women under the age of 20 are most at risk. Marriage or sexual intercourse at this age greatly increases the risk for cervical cancer.

So far, more than 150 HPVs have been identified. Most of them are not at risk for cervical cancer. HPV-17, HPV-16, HPV-6, HPV-11 are more risky.

HPV attacks do not cause cancer. The uterus of women accustomed to a normal life is often infected with HPV. It has no symptoms. By 18 to 24 months, the uterus is almost free of HPV due to the body’s immune system. When HPV persists in the uterus for a long time, it initiates changes in the uterine cells. High-risk HPV can lead to a variety of diseases, including cancer of the cervix, cervix, anus and adjacent areas.

Reasons why HPV persists in the uterus

Multiple marriages or multiple sexual partners

Husband’s multiple marriages or sexual partners

Smoking and use of tobacco leaves (e.g. drink jorda, eat white leaves, use rose)

Prolonged use of birth control pills (10-20 years in a row)

Immunity  Decreased immunity (such as malnutrition, AIDS, other uterine infections, kidney transplants, etc.)

Childbirth at a young age, frequent childbearing

Not infected with HPV?

HPV can be detected by DNA testing with juice from the cervix.

Peps must be tested before testing for HPV.

Tests are performed on women at high risk for uterine cancer.

There are international rules for testing HPV. Women under the age of 30 are not tested. This is because young people are often infected with HPV and the body becomes virus-free in the normal way. HPV tests can cause them undue fear.

What to do if infected

In general, people with HPV have no treatment and no treatment is needed. A woman at high risk for uterine cancer, her paps test abnormal (dysplasia), as well as a high-risk HPV; He must be warned about this disease. The cervix is ​​thoroughly examined by colposcopy (a type of instrument that allows the cervix to be enlarged two to 25 times) to further confirm whether the cervix is ​​infected with HPV. So that the disease is identified in the pre-cancer stage. If an abnormality is detected in the uterus, there are different methods of treatment.

Check again and again. Just keep an eye out. Over time, in many cases, cervical abnormalities become normal.

Cryotherapy:

Infected cells of the cervix are destroyed by extreme cold with the help of instruments.

Infected cells of the cervix are cut with the help of an electric device.

HPV prevention

Effective prevention is HPV vaccination.

HPV-1 HPV attacks do not cause cancer. The uterus of women accustomed to a normal life is often infected with HPV. It has no symptoms. By 18 to 24 months, the uterus is almost free of HPV due to the body’s immune system. When HPV persists in the uterus for a long time, it initiates changes in the uterine cells.

HPV prevention

Effective prevention is HPV vaccination.

Vaccines against HPV-16 and HPV-18 (cervix) and vaccines against HPV-16, 18, 11 and 6 produce effective antibodies against the mentioned virus in the body. As soon as the uterus is infected with the dangerous virus, pre-existing antibodies are able to destroy it.

Use of condoms during physical intercourse.

How old is the vaccine?

Any one type of vaccine (cervix) is given to 12-13 year old girls before they become infected with HPV. The vaccine is effective between the ages of 9 and 25, according to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations.

How is this vaccine given?

The vaccine is given in three intramuscular doses. The second dose is given one month after the first dose and the third dose is given six months later. The vaccine is now considered to be effective for four to six years from the moment of vaccination.

Important information about the HPV vaccine

This vaccine is not very effective for married women.

Vaccination during pregnancy has not yet been approved.

Vaccination is of no use after HVP infection or cancer. Because, this vaccine cannot suppress the infection and cannot stop the cancer.

The vaccine recipient will also have to go for regular Pap smear test.

Ways of prevention

Stop child marriage. Child marriage is a risk factor for cervical cancer.

Promoting women’s education and arranging health education so that people can be aware of this disease.

Participate in regular cervical cancer screening or Pap test.

Abandon the habit of eating jorda, white leaves with smoking and drinking forever. You have to take care so that other people’s smoking does not harm you. That means not being a victim of secondhand smoke.

Make a habit of eating balanced food to fill the nutritional deficiencies of the body.

 Get vaccinated against HPV according to the rules.
