Will cervical erosion turn into cancer? What are the ways to prevent cervical cancer?

Talk about the color change of cancer! Cervical cancer has taken the lives of countless women, and even women diagnosed with cervical erosion and cervicitis are very scared. In fact, cervical erosion cannot even be called a disease, and ordinary cervicitis does not need treatment. Cervical erosion and cervicitis have no direct relationship with cervical cancer, but women who marry early, give birth prematurely, have sex, and have miscarriages before the age of 20 are more at risk, so it is best to do regular cervical cancer prevention examinations.

Cervical erosion is not a disease! Do not over-treat

There are many young white-collar workers in their twenties and thirties, but most of them have minor problems such as cervical erosion and cervicitis. Many patients believe that cervicitis and cervical erosion should be treated early, otherwise the erosion will often turn into cancer. "In fact, this is a very wrong statement," the name "cervical erosion" has been cancelled internationally. In essence, it is just "cervical columnar epithelial ectopia". In physiological phenomena, most women with cervical erosion only develop epithelial ectopia due to the influence of hormone levels. The so-called "erosion" situation will improve after the hormone level stabilizes.

Clinically, mild, moderate and severe cervical erosion only describe the scope of epithelial ectopic disease (how large the ectopic area is), and the scope cannot be used as a basis for the severity of the disease. The types that reflect the depth of erosion are simple type, granular type and papillary type.

When many young women go to individual informal private hospitals for abortions, they will listen to the doctors' advice during abortions to "treat" cervical erosion, saying it is "unnecessary and even over-medicalized."

In addition, chronic cervicitis is also common among white-collar workers, especially cervical hypertrophy, Nabothian cysts and cervical polyps (the most common). Cervical hypertrophy and Nabothian cysts generally do not require treatment, and it is best to remove simple cervical polyps as soon as possible. Now gynecological clinics can remove cervical polyps without hospitalization.

Early marriage, early childbearing, and early sexual experience are dangerous for girls!

Women who marry early, have children early, have sexual experience before the age of 20, have a history of abortion, or have multiple sexual partners are at high risk of cervical cancer. The HPV infection rate in sexually active women aged 20-40 is over 80%, so they should make the following cancer prevention preparations.

1. Don't be lazy about cancer prevention screening! Chen Xiaoping suggested that women who have been sexually active for more than 3 years must have a liquid-based cytology smear (TCT) every year. If conditions permit, it is best to have a TCT test and HPV test together. If TCT and HPV are both negative, they can be checked once every three years. Since last year, many foreign guidelines have begun to pay attention to them. HPV screening, if HPV is positive for either type 16 or type 18 (high canceration rate), whether the TCT test is normal, a biopsy should be performed. It is understood that at present, the TCT examination fee (Guangzhou) is about 200 yuan, and the HPV examination costs about 350 yuan (the price may vary in different hospitals).

2. Multiple sexual partners are not allowed! Multiple sexual partners will increase HPV. Women should not only clean themselves, but also pay attention to their spouse's problems. If the spouse has a long foreskin, it is recommended to treat it in time.

3. Be careful of precancerous lesions! The occurrence and development of cervical cancer has a gradual evolutionary process, ranging from a few years to decades. The general cancer process will go through several stages: low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, early invasive cancer, and invasive cancer. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is often called "cervical precancerous lesions." Cancer prevention screening can detect precancerous lesions as soon as possible, and take measures to prevent, delay or even prevent cancer as soon as possible.

4. Don't want to have children? Wear a condom! Abortion surgery has certain damage to the female cervix. Multiple abortions will irritate the cervix and increase the incidence of cervical cancer. If you don't have a birth plan, it is best to take effective contraceptive measures, such as condoms.

5. Stay strong and healthy! Strengthen your immunity and lay a good foundation for dealing with all diseases. A healthy lifestyle not only includes diet and exercise, but white-collar workers should also be careful about the harm caused by mental stress and staying up late.
