Who are the susceptible groups for cervical cancer? How does cervical cancer metastasize in the late stage?

Cervical cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in women and is the only cancer whose cause has been discovered so far. Cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus (HpV), which can be directly transmitted through skin contact and has a latent period of more than ten years. Therefore, there are no symptoms in the early stages. Cervical cancer can be prevented and measured. Timely screening for cervical cancer can effectively avoid misfortune.

Which women are most likely to have cervical cancer?

Women aged 20-60 may suffer from cervical cancer, among which women aged 30-40 are the most common, especially those who have persistent HPV infection over 35 years old. The following are the most common types of women with cervical cancer, and female friends should be more vigilant.

Women who have their first sexual intercourse too early, marry early and have many children;

Women who have had multiple miscarriages;

Women with low education, malnutrition, and cervicitis;

People with atypical cervical hyperplasia;

Women infected with the herpes virus;

People whose immunity is weakened due to long-term use of birth control pills;

Three adverse symptoms of cervical cancer should be cautious

1. Pain is one of the most common symptoms

As tumor cells extend, invade the pelvic wall, and compress peripheral nerves, patients with advanced cervical cancer will experience persistent pain in the sciatic nerve or sacroiliac nerve. Tumors compress or erode the ureters, causing narrowing and obstruction of the ureters, leading to hydronephrosis. Advanced cervical cancer causes low back pain or even severe pain, which can further develop into renal failure, leading to more serious symptoms such as uremia.

Increased vaginal discharge

It mainly occurs before vaginal bleeding. The late symptoms of cervical cancer are that the vaginal discharge will not have any odor at first. As the cancer grows, secondary infection and necrosis of the cancer will increase the amount of discharge, such as rice water or mixed blood, and have a foul odor. When the tumor spreads upward and accumulates in the endometrium, the vaginal discharge is blocked by the cervical cancer tissue and cannot be discharged, which may form uterine effusion or uterine pyometra, and the patient may experience symptoms such as lower abdominal discomfort, lower abdominal pain, back pain, and fever.

3. Advanced cervical cancer will have metastatic symptoms

Experts say that generally speaking, cancer spreads forward and invades the bladder. Patients with advanced cervical cancer often experience frequent urination, urgency, pain, falling, and hematuria, which are often misdiagnosed as urinary tract infections, delaying diagnosis. Bladder-vaginal fistulas can form serious fistulas. Cancer spreads backward and invades the rectum, with symptoms of advanced cervical cancer, such as falling, difficulty defecating, urgency, and severe blood in the stool. Vaginorectal fistulas can develop further.
