How to treat cervical cancer in the early stage? These symptoms are signs of cancer

Women over 40 who have vaginal bleeding outside of their menstrual period or who have reached menopause should be alert to the possibility of cervical cancer or endometrial pain. Let's take a look at the early symptoms of cervical cancer.

What are the early symptoms of cervical cancer?

Irregular vaginal bleeding

Vaginal bleeding accounts for 81.4% of cervical cancer patients. Bleeding usually occurs after sexual intercourse or defecation. Some people bleed after sports activities or gynecological examinations and have irregular menstruation. In the early stages, the amount of bleeding is small and can often stop on its own. In the late stages, the cancer invades large blood vessels or because the cancer itself is rich in blood vessels, heavy bleeding may occur. Long-term chronic bleeding or acute bleeding can cause anemia in patients. Therefore, women should be vigilant if they have vaginal bleeding many years after menopause.

pain

This is one of the common symptoms of advanced cervical cancer. Cancer compresses the pelvic nerves, causing pain in the lower abdomen, lower back, or thighs. If the cancer invades the rectum, poor bowel movements and anal swelling may occur. If it compresses the bladder, frequent urination, urgency, pain, and hematuria may occur.

Contact bleeding

After sexual intercourse or constipation, vaginal discharge (leucorrhea) mixed with blood, sometimes in a stringy, sometimes dark red color. Women over 30 years old, who have given birth, and who live together as a couple, should be considered an early sign of cervical cancer if they suddenly have vaginal spotting after sexual intercourse.

With cervical erosion

Generally speaking, most cervical cancer patients are accompanied by cervical erosion, and severe cervical erosion is the main cause of cancer. Young women with cervical erosion that has not been treated for a long time, or cervical erosion after menopause, should be given enough attention.

Psychological treatment for patients with cervical cancer

Relieving patients' concerns

Young cervical cancer patients are worried about the loss or change of their feminine characteristics, sexual function, and fertility after treatment, and they are worried about being despised and abandoned by their husbands, friends, and society. They are afraid of losing their jobs and status and losing their financial resources due to the disease. This should be noted in the psychological care of cervical cancer. In response to the psychological problems of patients, psychological care of cervical cancer uses appropriate and concise language to describe postoperative rehabilitation and married life, and the significance of preserving ovarian metastasis.

Encourage patients to establish a belief in survival

Ancient medical books say: "If the spirit is weak and the will is not cured, there is no cure." We should encourage patients to fight the disease with a firm belief in cure. Medical staff treat patients sincerely, infect patients with words and art, warm their hearts, and enhance patients' belief in survival. Let patients realize that only by tenaciously fighting cancer, believing in modern medicine, and actively cooperating with treatment can they survive.
