What are the causes of cervical precancerous lesions? What should we do about cervical precancerous lesions?

Cervical precancerous lesions are a health killer for most women. It is a high-risk gynecological disease and a malignant tumor. At the same time, there are more causes of cervical precancerous lesions in daily life.

The main reasons are as follows:

Cause 1 of cervical precancerous lesions: Improper sexual life

Women who do not have sex usually do not get cervical cancer. The earlier they have sex, the more likely they are to get cervical cancer in the future. Sexual promiscuity (including both men and women), young first time, marital factors, cervical erosion and infection (HSV-2, HpV) are high-risk factors for cervical cancer. According to foreign reports, the incidence of cervical cancer increases 10 times for women who start having sex before the age of 15 or have more than 6 sexual partners.

Cause 2 of cervical precancerous lesions: HPV infection

High-risk human papillomavirus (HpV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer. More than 90% of cervical cancer patients are accompanied by high-risk HpV infection. When HpV infection continues to exist, cervical cancer can be induced by factors such as smoking, use of contraceptives, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. This process is very long, that is, it takes a long time for HpV infection to progress to precancerous lesions CIN and for CIN to progress to cancer. Regular inspections can detect and treat cancer in time before it occurs.

Cervical precancer and hormonal abnormalities

If there is long-term cervical damage, skin breakdown, erosion, and inflammation, it may transform into early cervical cancer cells. Investigations have shown that abnormal secretion of progesterone (female hormone) can change the stability of cervical epithelial cells, leading to abnormal changes and the progression of cervical cancer cells.

Cause 4 of cervical precancerous lesions: smoking

Smoking increases the risk of cervical cancer because it reduces the body's immunity and accelerates the progression of cervical cancer cells. In addition, some carcinogens produced by smoking may also lead to the progression of cervical cancer cells.

Although cervical precancerous lesions are difficult to treat, they are not unpreventable. For the sake of their own health, female friends should develop a health maintenance plan, develop good daily living and sexual habits, take good care of themselves, stay away from cervical precancerous lesions, and live a healthy life.
