Will cervicitis induce cervical cancer? Is avoiding long periods of sitting helpful in preventing cervical cancer?

Cervical cancer is one of the gynecological diseases with the highest mortality rate (Lao Cai’s medical guide WeChat: laocaidy) and one of the main killers of women. Every female friend should know about cervical cancer.

What is cervical cancer?

Uterine cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in gynecology. It refers to malignant tumors that occur in the uterus, vagina, and cervical canal. The metastasis of cervical cancer can spread directly to adjacent tissues and organs, from the bottom to the vaginal vault and vaginal wall, from top to bottom to invade the uterine body, from both sides to the pelvic tissue, from the front to the bladder, from the back to the rectum, from the lymphatic vessels to the cervix, internal iliac, external iliac and inguinal lymph nodes, and even to the clavicle and other lymph nodes throughout the body. Blood metastasis is relatively rare. Common metastatic sites are the lungs, liver, and bones. Three months after the onset of cervical cancer symptoms, two-thirds of patients have advanced cancer. 35 to 45 years old is a common age for uterine cancer.

Causes of Cervical Cancer

1. The most common cause of cervical cancer is improper sexual life. The report pointed out that women who do not have sexual life usually rarely suffer from cervical cancer. The earlier they have sexual life, the more likely they are to suffer from cervical cancer in the future. In terms of sexual partners, if a woman has more than two male partners, the probability of suffering from cervical cancer will increase significantly.

2. Cervical inflammation. If there is long-term cervical damage, skin breakage, erosion, and inflammation, it can be transformed into early cervical cancer cells.

3. Sexually transmitted disease infection usually indicates a complicated sexual life and a relatively high probability of cervical cancer.

4. Hormone secretion disorders are not caused by menstruation, but are related to physiological, psychological, environmental, genetic and other factors. Finally, cancer is related to living environment and habits. If female friends do not pay attention to their living habits during menstruation, it is easy to cause blood stasis, which will lead to lesions over time, but not necessarily cancer.

How can women prevent cervical cancer?

1. Avoid sitting for long periods of time: One of the causes of cervical cancer is sitting for long periods of time. Office women should exercise more and avoid sitting in a chair for long periods of time.

2. Actively participate in cervical screening: Women who are currently sexually active should undergo regular gynecological examinations and use effective screening methods under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Confirmed by pathological examination: When doctors suspect cervical lesions and cytological examination is abnormal, they need to bite the cervical lesions with biopsy forceps under direct vision or colposcopy, and take one or more tissues for pathological examination. Pathological tissue diagnosis is the standard for diagnosing cervical cancer.

4. Be familiar with the early symptoms of cervical cancer: contact vaginal bleeding, irregular vaginal bleeding, postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, menstrual bleeding, increased leucorrhea, odor, etc. may be early symptoms of cervical cancer. Once such symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible for gynecological examination, cytology, colposcopy, cervical biopsy and other related examinations.

5. Do not take "cervicitis" lightly: Cervicitis is a common disease in women. Patients often have increased vaginal discharge accompanied by odor, vaginal and vulvar itching, etc. Some patients also have a small amount of contact vaginal bleeding.

6. Do not refuse cervical examination during pregnancy: Pregnant women with cervical cancer or precancerous lesions also occur from time to time. Patients or doctors often attribute vaginal bleeding during pregnancy to threatened abortion, miscarriage or placenta previa, and worry that colposcopy will have adverse effects on pregnancy and that vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is unnecessary, delaying diagnosis.
