Due to cervical cancer
Renowned gynecologist Dr. Sharda Jain, who has been a professor at PGI Chandigarh and Lady Hardinge Medical Colleges for more than two decades, says that cervical cancer is caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). HPV enters the body and infects the inner part of the uterus and without showing any symptoms, it grows and takes the form of cancer. However, in 70 percent of women it is diagnosed by the age of 30.
Why does cervical cancer occur?
Cervical cancer is mainly caused by infection with high-risk human papilloma virus group types. There are more than 100 types of HPV, out of which about a dozen are responsible for diseases like cancer. Usually, HPV is transferred or transmitted from male to female after sexual intercourse. Boys or men are the reservoir of HPV virus. Due to this, this virus spreads among women and causes cancer.
These are the symptoms of cervical cancer
Dr. Sharda says that cervical cancer can be detected only through health expert screening. There are no visible symptoms of this. This is the reason why it remains hidden for years and in India, it gets detected in women especially at the third or fourth stage. By then it is too late and most women lose their lives.
However, if the cancer is spreading then some symptoms may appear like thick smelly substance or blood coming from the vagina and it also has a foul smell, then it can be a symptom. If similar bloody discharge occurs even after having physical relations, then this is also a problem. If menstruation continues for a long time and there is pain while urinating, it is also a symptom. Apart from this, its symptoms are weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, pain in rectum etc.
what is the solution
Dr. says that a vaccine has been made in India to prevent cervical cancer. This vaccine is as effective after physical contact as it is before physical contact. Therefore women can get this vaccine. Apart from this, routine screening is also an option. Cervical cancer is 100 percent preventable. This can be avoided. Just awareness is needed.
