How can we control the early detection of cervical cancer?

Cervical cancer is from the cervix and prostate epithelial lining of epithelial malignancies. By the epithelial lining the main squamous cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma; From the glandular epithelium is adenocarcinoma. Cervical cancer 95% are squamous cell carcinomas, which are almost occurred in the prolific married women. Cervical Cancer 5% for adenocarcinoma, unmarried women occurred frequently for cervical adenocarcinoma. Cervical cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer, female reproductive system for more than half of the cancer, The mortality rate for women cancer in the first place. The incidence of cervical cancer around age vary, the general cervical carcinoma in situ of 35 -55 years, 40-70 years of invasive carcinoma. Statistics show that the incidence older, and after the extension of a trend. Onset before the age of 20 less. Rural than urban, mountain above the plain. The cause of cervical cancer is not entirely clear that the past few decades of research and survey, the incidence of cervical cancer and early marriage, early, prolific, close off repeatedly marriage, sex life prematurely or frequency chaos, the husband of phimosis, estrogen secretion disorder or metabolic abnormalities Some viruses, such as herpes simplex virus type 2 and human papilloma virus infection, chronic cervicitis, Cervical erosion and certain sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, patients with low immune function, poor mental factors, and so on. Cervical cancer can achieve early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment, the cure rate is relatively high. But not all the early cervical cancer can have noticeable symptoms. In particular, many cases of carcinoma in situ, are in the census found. But there are also some cases the early performance of any of the following, particular attention should be. (1) contact with hemorrhage : it may be the only early sign. Referring to the sexual intercourse, gynecological examinations and constipation patients after defecation having a very small amount of vaginal bleeding. As such symptoms can also be found in cervical erosion and cervical polyps, which easily overlooked. (2) irregular postmenopausal vaginal bleeding : has been found in postmenopausal women, not bleeding any pain associated with flu, therefore it is less likely to arouse the attention of the patient. (3) increased vaginal secretions : more commonly known as leucorrhea. Can occur in contact bleeding symptoms before or after, to the usual stress of cervical cancer patients Leucorrhea smug thatched cottages, housing, water leakage and the fishiness strong, but kind of Leucorrhea is a sign of advanced cervical cancer. And leucorrhea early cervical cancer generally is not associated with these characteristics. When a patient self-report such early symptoms, should take the initiative to the hospital to get a gynecologist or oncology doctors, Tu and do cervix (scratch) films. This method is easy to implement, the accuracy of diagnosis is higher. However, patients should pay attention to the inspection within 24 hours before the ban on sexual intercourse to avoid vaginal examinations, and lavage on the drug. Census is the early detection of cervical cancer main means. Cervical available Tu (scratch) films with iodine cytology tests and colposcopy and other methods. Generally over the age of 25 married women, every three to five years, inspections of high-risk groups should be annual inspections. Cytological examination for any suspicious cases of cancer, cervix living tissue biopsy done.
