Cervical Cancer in Girls and Young Women

=========================================

Cervical cancer that occurs near the entrance of the uterus, accounts for about

70% of all cervical cancer cases. A growing number of young women (17-28 years

old, and up to 40 years old) who are sexually active, are becoming at risk of

developing cervical cancer. However, a high cure rate can be expected if

detected early, and if pregnant, will be able to safely continue her pregnancy

or childbirth.

During the past few years, young women who are affected by cervical cancer are

dramatically increasing.

Cervical cancer is believed to be caused by a virus, especially by the " human

papillomavirus (HPV) " that is carried from the seminal fluid of the infected

male genitalia, which supports the theory that cervical cancer is likely to be

transmitted via sexual activity. In fact, cervical cancer cases are so rare on

women who have never been sexually active.

To prevent the transmission of HPV, the use of condoms can help provide

protection. In addition, early detection and regular screening is recommended.

Medical examination should be done for all who have experience of sexual

intercourse.

In so many ways, the human papillomavirus still remains a big mystery. Human

papillomavirus is a type of wart virus that consists of about 100 different

types, with about 40 that are classified as high risk.

## What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Cervical Cancer?

Most symptoms are not seen during the first half of the cancer stage. In rare

cases, bleeding is observed during sexual intercourse. Thus, regular checkups

are very important.

In the second stage, as the cancer progresses, bleeding and foul or putrid odor

will be observed. You may also experience lower abdominal pain and symptoms of

" hematuria " (presence of blood in urine) or " hematochezia " (passing of bloody

stools).

## How Can You Treat Cervical Cancer?

Yes, treatment is important, but " prevention " is the best of all. Vaccine for

some strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer has been developed and made

available. More than 100 countries adapted vaccination, especially for teenage

girls. This kind of vaccine is also adapted for breast cancer patients. Consult

your physician if you have had sexual intercourse at a young age.

Treatment for cervical cancer varies depending on whether you want to continue

pregnancy and your desire for giving birth in the future. Home environment and

working conditions should also be considered.

In most cases, if cervical cancer is diagnosed at early stage, undergoing

surgical procedure called " cervical conization " helps remove only the affected

tissue (cone-shaped tissue), and your ability to have children will be

preserved.

However, if the cancer has spread further, you will be required to undergo

" hysterectomy " (surgical removal of the uterus) and you will no longer be able

to bear children. In advanced stages of cervical cancer, radiation therapy or

chemotherapy will usually be performed.

We strongly recommend that you undergo checkup as often as possible. Cervical

cancer can be completely eradicated if diagnosed at early stage.
