Cervix or cervical cancer is a malignant tumor on the tissue surface of the neck and cervix and is the no.1 killer and most common. Approximately 85% of deaths from this disease occur in developing countries. In addition to risk of death, at an advanced stage may make the patient uncomfortable, severe pain, coughing up blood, leg swelling, jaundice, urinary disorders and bowel movements. Although in early stages of this disease is known, the possibility of menstruation and have a child is gone.
Anatomically the vagina becomes shorter, sometimes an interruption in sexual relations.
The main cause of this disease is a viral infection of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) which was detected in 99.7% of patients with cervical cancer.
world, many women are not aware of this danger of cervical cancer. In the study 80% of women died from cervical cancer suffered has been entered at an advanced stage. So the prevention and treatment is too late.
Treatment itself can be done at home is:
1. live pap smears on a regular basis as soon as sexually active
2. Stay with one partner and do not have multiple sexual partners
3. Wait until old enough for sexual intercourse, it is recommended over 20 years.
4. Use protective contraceptives such as condoms and diaphragms
5. Do not spray your vagina five times or more in one month, because it increases the risk of cervical cancer 30 times.
6. Do not smoke for both partners. Cigarettes cause cervical cancer risk up to 3 times.
7. Poor nutrition can also cause cervical cancer. Vit A, C and beta-carotene and folic acid in adequate amounts, can protect themselves from cervical cancer.
Prevent early before it’s too late to be cancer
Cervical cancer takes place in several stages, starting from the period without symptoms, vaginal discharge, bleeding, pain that is often considered the norm. Then in the advanced stage the symptoms are clearly emerging from the changes in cancer cells, in the form of bleeding after sexual activity, or between the two periods.
Figures survival from cervical cancer is 5 years based on the stage:
a. zero-stage, benign and cancer cells are still on the surface of the cervix wall, survival rates can reach 100%.
b. single-stage, cancer is strongly attached to the walls of the cervix, the chances of recovering 80%
c. stage two, the cancer has spread to other places until the uterus, but not to the vagina, the chances of recovering 50-60%
d. stage three, the cancer has spread to the bottom of the vagina, the chances of recovering 20-30%
e. stage four, the cancer had reached other organs are much like the anus, kidney, lung, liver and bone. 0-5% chance of recovery.
Fortunately, cervical cancer is cancer that can be prevented if known to exist from an early age. Our own body can actually cope with about 70% of infections, but because there are many types of virus, making the body unable to cope alone.
What is important is to educate yourself to behave well, such as personal and environmental hygiene, eating healthy and nutritious foods, not smoking. Cleaning the vital organs every day on a regular basis and by using a sterile instrument. Changing underwear at least 2 times a day is also helpful health vital organs. And the last is early detection by health equipment such as pap smears and VIA (visual inspection with acetic acid application) to follow up the possibility of cervical cancer in the early days of symptoms. If exposed to this disease, vaccination is the best way next to this.
