1. Awareness on Cervical cancer
Study Material: Cervical Cancer Introduction Cervical cancer is a serious health concern, primarily caused by persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Early detection through screening and preventive measures can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. Causes of Cervical Cancer • Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection: Persistent infection with high-risk HPV strains (especially types 16 and 18) is the leading cause. • Multiple Sexual Partners: Increases the risk of HPV exposure. • Early Age of Sexual Activity: Higher risk of acquiring persistent HPV infection at a younger age. • Smoking: Carcinogens in tobacco contribute to cervical cell damage. • Weakened Immune System: Conditions like HIV/AIDS increase susceptibility to HPV infections. • Long-term Use of Oral Contraceptives: Prolonged use (5+ years) may slightly increase risk. • Poor Hygiene and Lack of Screening: Contribute to the progression of undiagnosed precancerous lesions. Signs and Symptoms Early-Stage Symptoms Often asymptomatic in initial stages Abnormal vaginal bleeding: Postcoital bleeding Intermenstrual bleeding Postmenopausal bleeding Unusual vaginal discharge (watery, bloody, or foul-smelling) Advanced-Stage Symptoms • Persistent pelvic pain or back pain • Pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia) • Difficulty in urination or bowel movements • Swelling in the legs (lymphatic obstruction)
