Fight against cervical cancer

type='html'>

Cervical cancer is third most common cancer among Malaysian females after breast and colon cancer. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recorded that around the world, one woman would die of the cervical cancer in every two minutes. Cervical cancer begins in the cervix and becomes gradually more invasive if left untreated.   

THE CERVIX

• Part the female reproductive system and the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens to the vagina
• Produces moisture to lubricate the vagina and mucus to help sperm travel up to the Fallopian tube to fertilize an egg from the ovary. At childbirth, the cervix widens to allow the baby to pass down into the birth canal.

CAUSES

Risk factors for cervical cancer include:-

• Infection with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There are 15 cancer-causing types which can lead to cervical cancer. The two most common types, HPV types 16 and 18, together cause up to 70% of all cervical cancers worldwide.

• Beginning sexual intercourse at early age 
• Having multiple sexual partners
• Women with a sister or mother who had cervical cancer
• Taking birth control pills
• Cigarette smoking
• Weak immune system
• Other sexually transmitted infections (eg Herpes simplex virus, Chlamydia)

SYMPTOMS

Most of the time, early cervical cancer has no symptoms. Symptoms that may occur can include:-

• Abnormal vaginal bleeding between periods, after intercourse or after menopause
• Continuous vaginal discharge, which may be watery, pink, brown, bloody or foul-smelling
• Periods become heavier and last longer than usual
• Lower back pain
• Leg pain or swelling

PREVENTION

Regular pelvic exam and PAP testing can detect precancerous changes in the cervix. This is important because of the usual absence of early symptoms.
