What are the early signs of cervical cancer? Is Chinese herbal medicine useful for early cervical cancer?

Cervical cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in women. The cause of cervical cancer is still unclear. Women who marry early, have children early, have multiple births, and have sexual dysfunction have a higher incidence of the disease. There are no symptoms in the early stage, but abnormal vaginal bleeding may occur in the later stage. It is not only the most common cancer among female reproductive organ cancers, but also the most common cancer among various malignant tumors in women, but there are obvious regional differences in its incidence rate. Cervical cancer has brought a fatal blow to many female friends. If we can detect the disease in time and treat it early, I believe it will help control the condition of cervical cancer.

Pay attention to the early and late signs of cervical cancer

1. Increased vaginal discharge, which is white, thin, watery, rice-water-like or bloody, with a fishy odor. When cancerous tissue ruptures and becomes infected, the discharge may be purulent and have a foul odor.

2. Vaginal bleeding. The main symptoms of cervical cancer patients are irregular vaginal bleeding, especially contact bleeding (ie bleeding after sexual intercourse or gynecological examination) and postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. Cervical cancer bleeds earlier and more heavily.

3. Late stage manifestations. Due to the penetration and metastasis of cancer, symptoms may appear in the corresponding parts or even the whole body, such as frequent urination, urgency, anal swelling, constipation, lower limb swelling and pain, sciatica, hydronephrosis, renal failure, uremia, etc., which eventually lead to systemic failure.

Introduction to the treatment of cervical cancer

1. Radiotherapy. Radiotherapy for cervical cancer can also be divided into intracavitary radiotherapy and external radiotherapy. Intracavitary radiotherapy refers to close-range radiotherapy using a closed radioactive source. Its characteristics are short treatment distance and large dose gradient around the radioactive source. Therefore, a high dose can be given to the local tumor to reduce the dose to the surrounding tissues.

2. Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy refers to systemic treatment suitable for advanced cases. In the past, people believed that chemotherapy was not effective for cervical cancer, with a low remission rate and a short remission period. For advanced patients, it can only relieve pain and prolong life. In recent years, with the continuous emergence of new anticancer drugs, improved routes of administration and the combined use of various drugs, chemotherapy has become an effective adjuvant therapy for the treatment of cervical cancer. It can be used for advanced cases, surgery and radiotherapy, and can also be used to treat recurrent cancer.

3. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. The treatment of cervical cancer is closely related to the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, in terms of enhancing efficacy and detoxification, traditional Chinese medicine combined with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can control and prevent the metastasis of cancer to a certain extent. For postoperative patients, the principle of strengthening the body and eliminating evil is often adopted clinically.

Chinese herbal medicine for cervical cancer treatment has the following advantages:

Advantages 1. The overall concept of the medicinal power of Chinese herbal medicine is strong:

Although tumors grow in a certain part of the body, they are actually a systemic disease. For most tumor patients, local treatment cannot solve the problem of radical cure. Since Chinese medicine starts from the holistic concept, it not only considers local treatment, but also adopts the method of corrective cultivation, which plays an important role in improving the patient's local symptoms and systemic condition.

The use of Chinese herbal medicine does not affect the labor force:

Cancer patients' local conditions improved, as did their overall conditions.

Chinese herbal medicine has few side effects in treating cervical cancer:

Since herbs are natural green plants, the side effects are quite small. Chinese medicine can treat cervical cancer and relieve the patient's symptoms and pain, improve the quality of life, prolong the survival time, and reduce the cancer mortality rate.
