What are the ways to prevent cervical cancer? What tests should be done to prevent cervical cancer?

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in gynecology. The age distribution of patients is bimodal, 35-39 years old and 60-64 years old, with an average age of 52 years old. There are no symptoms in the early stage. As the disease progresses, patients may experience abnormal vaginal bleeding. Since young women are in the sexually active period, their estrogen levels and sexual intercourse frequency are higher, so they are more likely to have bleeding during sexual intercourse as the first symptom. In addition, increased vaginal discharge is also a common symptom of cervical cancer, and about 80% of cervical cancer patients have this symptom.

Clinical follow-up shows that it takes about 10 years for general cervical precancerous lesions to develop into cervical cancer. From this perspective, cervical cancer is not terrible, it is a preventable and curable disease.

The key to prevention is:
