Cervical cancer types

Cervical cancer is a common gynecological malignancy, which mainly includes three types: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and adenosquamous carcinoma. This disease may have no obvious symptoms in the early stage. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as contact bleeding, abnormal vaginal bleeding, vaginal discharge, frequent urination, and urinary tract obstruction may appear. Cervical tissue biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. At present, the treatment methods for cervical cancer include surgical treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The appropriate treatment plan should be selected according to the specific condition.

Causes of cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is a very common malignant tumor in female gynecology. The main cause of cervical cancer is human papillomavirus infection, also known as HPV virus infection. It may be related to factors such as unhealthy sex life, too many sexual partners, and gynecological infections. The most important symptom of early cervical cancer is contact vaginal bleeding, which can be confirmed by colposcopy and biopsy. After the diagnosis of cervical cancer, it is necessary to see if there are metastatic lesions in other parts of the body. If there is no metastasis, surgery can be performed to cure it, and comprehensive treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be combined after surgery. If the disease has metastasized and surgery is not possible, palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy can also be performed, which can also prolong survival.

Symptoms of cervical cancer

There are no symptoms in the early stages of cervical cancer. Some cases are already in the late stages when they are discovered. As the disease progresses, abnormal vaginal bleeding or contact bleeding may occur. Cervical cancer is an infection of the HPV virus and is preventable. Currently, the country already has a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, and cervical cancer can also be detected earlier by checking HPV and TCT. Most have vaginal discharge, which is white or thin like water or rice water or has a fishy smell. The main symptoms of advanced cervical cancer are vaginal bleeding, excessive vaginal secretions and pain, which are mainly these three symptoms.
