Swimming after cervical cancer surgery needs caution

Some women may ask, I have also had surgery for cervical cancer, can I still swim?

In fact, for patients with cervical cancer, we must pay attention to the risk of infection. Because the people in the swimming pool are more complicated, there are many bacteria, but it is also easy to produce cross infection. If you enter the swimming pool, the bacteria may re-enter the body and cause serious infection. Because after cervical cancer surgery, the patient's body is relatively weak and the resistance is not as good as before, which is easy to cause serious adverse consequences. If you just want to enhance your body's resistance by swimming, then the patient is completely out of loss.

Preventing Cervical Cancer in 6 Minutes

In fact, the development of cervical cancer is a long process. It takes an average of 6-8 years for HPV cervical lesions to become cancer from infection, and up to 10 years. This long period of time is enough for detection and treatment. If it is found early, the treatment is simple and it will 100% not become cancer. The problem is that people often ignore the examination and miss the best time for treatment. The cervical cancer examination is very simple, which is to do a cervical cell scraping and HPV examination, which is completely non-invasive and painless, and one examination only takes 6 minutes.

A woman needs 7 6-minute tests in her lifetime. When a woman has sex, she needs to check once a year for 6 minutes in the first two years. If it is negative, it can be extended to once every two years. After two years of continuous examination, it is still negative. You can check once every three years. After two years of continuous examination, you can check again. According to this rule, if the result is negative, you can leave the threat of cervical cancer forever.

Even if you have not had this awareness before, you can start doing cytology cervical smears and HPV tests from now on. Even if you find a positive result, you can quickly use microwaves, freezing, lasers, etc. to treat it, and the cure effect is good. After the cure, you can also use the 76-minute test from the beginning to monitor your physical condition.
