What causes cervical cancer and fibroids?

The treatment of cervical cancer and fibroids requires surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy according to the specific condition. Its occurrence is related to genetic, environmental, physiological factors and viral infection. Genetic factors such as family history, environmental factors such as smoking and long-term use of contraceptives, physiological factors such as abnormal hormone levels, and viral infections such as human papillomavirus HPV infection are the main causes.

1. Genetic factors play an important role in the occurrence of cervical cancer and fibroids. Women with a family history of cervical cancer or fibroids have a higher risk of the disease. It is recommended that women with a family history undergo regular cervical cancer screening, including cervical cytology and HPV testing, for early detection and treatment.

2. Environmental factors such as smoking and long-term use of contraceptives can increase the risk of cervical cancer and fibroids. Harmful substances in smoking can damage cervical cells, and long-term use of contraceptives may lead to an imbalance in hormone levels. Reducing smoking, using contraceptives properly, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of disease.

3. Physiological factors such as abnormal hormone levels are also one of the causes of cervical cancer and fibroids. Abnormal hormone levels may cause abnormal proliferation of cervical cells and the formation of fibroids. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising moderately, and avoiding excessive stress can help maintain a balanced hormone level and reduce the occurrence of fibroids.

4. Viral infection, especially human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, is the main cause of cervical cancer and fibroids. HPV infection can cause cervical cells to become cancerous. Getting the HPV vaccine, regular cervical cancer screening, and avoiding unsafe sex are effective measures to prevent HPV infection and cervical cancer and fibroids.

The occurrence of cervical cancer and fibroids is related to a variety of factors. By understanding these factors and taking corresponding preventive measures, the risk of disease can be effectively reduced. Regular cervical cancer screening and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are the key to preventing cervical cancer and fibroids.
