Early signs of cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women. Its early signs are often hidden, but if it can be detected and treated in time, the cure rate can be significantly improved. The early signs of cervical cancer include abnormal vaginal bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and abnormal bowel movements. If you have any discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take appropriate measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Abnormal vaginal bleeding: including vaginal bleeding outside of menstruation, bleeding after sexual intercourse or bleeding after menopause. First of all, it needs to be diagnosed through gynecological examination, cervical smear test, HPV test or cervical biopsy. The treatment method depends on the condition and may include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or targeted therapy.

2. Abnormal vaginal discharge: There may be an increase in vaginal discharge, and the color, texture and smell may change, such as mixed with blood, pus or foul odor. Keep the reproductive organs clean and dry, and avoid using irritating hygiene products. After diagnosis, the treatment method is the same as above, and the appropriate treatment plan needs to be selected according to the condition.

3. Pelvic pain: You may experience pain in the pelvis, lumbosacral region, or abdomen, especially during menstruation or sexual intercourse. Under the guidance of a doctor, use over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen to relieve pain. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention in a timely manner and choose an appropriate treatment plan based on your condition.

4. Abnormal urination: Early patients may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination or difficulty urinating. Drink plenty of water to keep urination smooth. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you need to see a doctor to rule out the possibility of cervical cancer or other urinary system diseases.

5. Abnormal bowel movements: In the early stages of cervical cancer, symptoms such as constipation, difficulty defecating, or thinning of the stool may occur. Increase dietary fiber intake, maintain a regular lifestyle, and ensure smooth bowel movements. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.

Once these signs are found, you should seek medical attention immediately for diagnosis and treatment. The application of comprehensive treatment methods can significantly improve the cure rate and quality of life of cervical cancer.
