Cervix is the lowest portion of the Women’s womb which connects uterus to Vagina. The Cervical Cancer is developed when the lowest part of women’s Uterus (called cervix) experiences abnormal growth of tissue which invades and with time affects the other nearby organs of the body too. According to the records of the National Institute of Cancer Research and Prevention, Cervix Cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in women in India after Breast Cancer<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Research also says that 22.86% of cancer types in women is Cervical Cancer and 12% of total cancer types found in men and women. Other than this the Globocan 2012 data says that: <\/span><\/p>\n The cervical cancer is mostly diagnosed in the rural women as compared to urban ones. Also, the records say that the Hindu women are more at risk than the Muslim ones. <\/span><\/p>\n These stats are genuinely terrifying, but this can be controlled if the proper treatment is taken. Therefore, it is suggested to go for cervical cancer screening on time. Read the complete article, to know in detail about the cervical cancer risk factors\/ causes, symptoms, stages, and prevention.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are a number of risk factors which are associated or which can lead to the abnormal\/ uncontrolled growth of cervical tissue. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In most of the cervical cancer cases, the major drawback is that it doesn’t show any signs at the early stage. So, to eliminate the possibility of getting caught by cervical cancer cells, go for the regular test like pap test (Pap test doesn’t diagnose cancer, but it is helpful in judging the changes in cells which may lead to cancer) or cervical smear. <\/span><\/p>\n The common symptoms of cervical cancer which a lady can experience are: <\/span><\/p>\n These were the major symptoms which a lady can experience. But they may vary which means a lady might suffer no signs at the initial stage or may suffer more severe symptoms than this. So, we can say, the rate of cervical cancer infection entirely depends on its health and living environment.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The doctors determine the stage of cervical cancer according to the diagnostic\/ detection test reports. The stage of cervical cancer is assigned to the patients according to their development of cancer and whether it is influencing the body organs or not. <\/span><\/p>\n In total there are four stages of cancer, but we define cervical cancer as a five-stage disease. The stages are as follows: <\/span><\/p>\n Stage 0<\/b>: In stage 0, the cancerous cells are present in the body but are not known to the patient as well as to the doctor. No impact on the body in this stage. <\/span><\/p>\n Stage 1<\/b>: In stage 1, the cancerous cells grow from the surface to the deeper section of tissues of the cervix, most possibly positioning into the uterus. <\/span><\/p>\n Stage 2<\/b>: If the cancer cells have reached out of the cervix and uterus but not reached beyond the walls of the pelvis or the lower part of the vagina, then you are at the second stage of cervical cancer. In this stage, the nearby lymph nodes may or may not be affected by this. <\/span><\/p>\n Stage 3<\/b>: In the third stage, the cancer cells are present at the lower end of the vagina or on the walls of the pelvis. It may also block the uterus passage from where the urine is carried out from the bladder. <\/span><\/p>\n Stage 4<\/b>: This is the last stage of cervical cancer. In this stage, the cancerous cells have started to move out from the pelvis. This is the metastasis stage of cervix cancer as the cancer cells affect nearby organs like the liver, bones, lungs, and lymph nodes.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are diagnosed with cervical cancer, or you fall into the risk of getting diagnosed with cervical cancer, the best method you should opt instead of treatment is prevention as the treatment might leave you with some side effects. Note that prevention method is most useful for the initial stage, but it plays a side role in treating the higher danger stages. So, the various prevention methods of cervical cancer are: <\/span><\/p>\n Go for HPV vaccination programs<\/b><\/p>\n HPV is one of the primary cause of Cervical Cancer. Therefore, by sticking to the various HPV vaccination programs, the rate of cervical cancer can be reduced. <\/span><\/p>\n Say NO to Smoking<\/b><\/p>\n If you have a habit of smoking, then leave it as Smoking can lead you to many different types of cancers. <\/span><\/p>\n Delay the first sexual intercourse<\/b><\/p>\n Sexual Intercourse at the young age is always risky for the woman’s health. Therefore, it is suggested to delay the first sexual intercourse for better health. For good health, consult with the doctor. <\/span><\/p>\n Safe Sex<\/b><\/p>\n We have suggested you for taking HPV vaccination, but vaccination can only save you from two strains of HPV. The other types can still cause cervix cancer. Therefore, use a condom during sexual intercourse in order to prevent HPV infection. <\/span><\/p>\n Cervical Screening<\/b><\/p>\n This is also an effective way to prevent cervix cancer. The cervical screening will help you in detecting the changes to the cells of the cervix. Note that this screening will not diagnose cancer. <\/span><\/p>\n Avoid multiple sex partners<\/b><\/p>\n The higher the number of sex partners of a woman, the higher the possibility of transmission of HPV. So, avoid having multiple sex partners in order to prevent cervical cancer. <\/span><\/p>\n These were some of the measures whose avoidance can help you in avoiding cervical cancer. Other than this, good hygiene and environment can also be beneficial for you. If you are experiencing any of the cervical cancer symptoms, read about the cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment methods<\/a> for proper guidance. Also, you can book an appointment<\/a> with our doctor<\/a> for expert advice. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cervix is the lowest portion of the Women’s womb which connects uterus to Vagina.
