30-year-old female after gynecologic cancer prevention should be actively

Some people think nothing to do with their cancer, the elderly do. What is old? Each organ of the old man is not the same level. For a woman speaking, over a 30-year-old is actually in decline in all aspects and this is old, but not to say that menopause is menopause and old. Older, have the greater the risk of tumor. If too late to have children, you will win some gynecological cancer risk. Had a survey for the college girls, about 30% -40% of the people have sexual experiences, a few years after graduation if she does not marry and have children, have the opportunity to cervical cancer and other gynecological tumors will increase.
Having sex with younger women, in particular the lack of preventive measures to take advantage of many gynecological diseases, resulting in damage in addition to several well-known gynecological diseases, the probability of occurrence of cancer have increased significantly, so mastering how contemporary women or how to prevent early detection of cancer is very important.
Cancer and genetic matter?
Over the years, the study of cancer etiology, have accumulated a large amount of information on genetic factors play in the tumor can not be ignored important role in the formation of tumors and, in essence, environmental factors and genetic factors in common work.
It is not all gynecological tumors are associated with inherited it? Mother suffering from cancer, her daughter is the mother may also have the same disease, cancer occurs mainly by environmental factors, are considered early marriage, early motherhood, fertility, and the number of sexual partners and more relevant, as the depth of scientific research to further that with the virus (ie, HPV) infection, in general, unmarried, referring to asexual life of women suffering from cervical cancer is rarely, genetic factors in the proportion of very few. Although it has inherited gynecologic cancer, but environmental factors are complementary in identifying the genetic factors of tumor, to consider environmental factors, different genetic factors, or gynecological cancer the role of environmental factors is different, some the tumor under the influence of genetic destined to occur, while the majority of the tumor must be a common genetic and environmental influence will occur, sometimes in the environment mainly sometimes genetic-based
The more growth, get the less chance of gynecologic oncology it?
Research shows that women's life in the birth if there is a complete process can be increased by 10 years of immunity, such immunity is mainly for breast, ovarian and other gynecological tumors. In addition, the female fertility because they do not get timely and effective protection of progesterone, but also prone to hormone-dependent diseases, such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis.
The survey also found that compared with women without fertility have reproductive history of women in addition to enhanced immunity against tumors and gynecological diseases, but also delayed the arrival of menopause. Because pregnancy and lactation, ovarian or two ten eggs delayed discharges, so the history of women of childbearing menopausal women give birth more often than not come late. In addition, pregnant women and children not only to the physical become more mature, will also be more psychological health. So, just for fear of body changes, early aging, the cause of the refusal of fertility, female health.
However, the process of natural childbirth the cervix is exciting, especially multiple birth, can easily lead to the birth canal laceration, etc. These repeated stimulation and injury will cause the cervix more susceptible to the virus, greatly increased risk of illness.
Early symptoms of gynecologic cancer what?
Breast lumps: bilateral breast asymmetry, breast skin changes and inflammation-like orange peel-like edema. Flat with your fingers when touching the breast pain and oppression of the areola with nipple discharge discharge, check the papillary muscle sternoclavicular touch larger lymph nodes, may be suffering from breast cancer.
Abnormal masses: can grow on any part of the reproductive organs. Genital mass, some of the ovarian tumor, uterine tumor larger. Some of these mass texture hard, some soft, activity also vary in mostly round or irregular in shape, growth rate can be fast or slow. Even without any symptoms of these tumor is an abnormal phenomenon, most of a tumor.
Abnormal vaginal discharge: Under normal circumstances, endometrial, cervical and vaginal secretions lining the formation of vaginal exudate, usually are small, and with the menstrual cycle. When the female reproductive tract tumors, may appear watery, bloody, and rice soup-like vaginal discharge, such as associated with infection, may have the smell. Abnormal vaginal discharge may be cervical cancer, endometrial cancer or fallopian tube carcinoma performance.
Menstrual changes: the formation of endometrial shedding the menstrual cycle. Under normal circumstances, regular menstrual cycles, bleeding secondary. When the growth of tumors such as uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, uterine sarcomas, choriocarcinoma, may appear abnormal menstruation. Some tumors such as ovarian granulosa cell tumor, theca cell tumor estrogen secretion, interference with the menstrual cycle, but also can cause menstrual abnormalities.
Postmenopausal bleeding: With age, generally about 50 years old, due to the decline of endocrine function appears amenorrhea. In the first year of amenorrhea, and sometimes occasional vaginal bleeding. If more than one year have menopausal vaginal bleeding after menopause is known as bleeding. Bleeding after menopause for many reasons, most cases are caused by benign disease, but can not be ignored cervical cancer, endometrial cancer.
Abdominal pain: torsion of ovarian tumor, rupture or infection, uterine fibroids, prolapse or fibroids to the degeneration of the cervix, can cause more severe lower abdominal pain. Most malignant tumors have significant abdominal pain and development of late.
Urine changes: the first performance of ovarian cancer may be only gastrointestinal symptoms, when the tumor suppression or violation of the bladder, rectum, can cause frequent urination, difficulty urinating, dry stools and so on.
When the above symptoms, the patient should be timely treatment, can not tolerate due to mild symptoms and relaxed alertness, delaying treatment. Of course, these symptoms do not appear to suffer from cancer, do not panic too much, to do is prompt diagnosis and treatment.
What do each of the normal gynecological examination of women?
Common gynecological examination can, preferably once a year. Would be a system of conditional body check, sexually active women have to do as much as possible gynecological examination. If the experts would tell you to do further examination and diagnosis.
How to prevent gynecologic cancer?
Method of prevention, cervical cancer is a tumor in the body of all, the first use of cytology do compensation. From here, we know that some tumors, we can make a scratch in the above piece, look no abnormal exfoliated cells are cells that can be found in very early tumors, cervical cancer screening which has a very big role. Prevention is by early detection, gynecological examination, screening, screening over 35 years of age, now have HPV infection, screening for cervical cancer so early, even 25,30 years of age will require a yearly Pap smear If no abnormal cervical smear, or have time to identified earlier. Also in the gynecological examination also includes B-, ovarian deep in the abdominal cavity, ovarian cancer, unlike cervical cancer screening is very good, very easy to find. Endometrial cancer and other cancers, or rely on only after symptoms have found a reason to do so each year gynecological examination, to screening, this method must be simple and economic, was conducive to a large number of population census, if more expensive, While there are some methods, but not suitable for screening large number of people to do.
