Cervical cancer screening

Cervical cancer screening

As contemporary women play an increasingly important role in society and life, their sense of burden is also increasing day by day. People cannot live without pressure, because without pressure there is no motivation. However, too much stress is not good either. Too much stress can overwhelm the body and mind, thus causing various diseases. Therefore, as the burden on people increases today, health checks for women become more and more important, such as cervical cancer screening.

When it comes to cervical cancer, everyone may be very scared because it is a cancer and it cannot be cured if you miss the time. Despite this, cervical cancer is still closely related to the lives of our female friends. It is a highly prevalent cancer among women, so cervical cancer screening becomes very important. So what is cervical cancer screening?

Cervical cancer screening refers to collecting exfoliated cells from the cervical os using a liquid-based thin-layer cell kit, using a fully automatic thin-layer cell slide making machine to slice, and performing cytological classification based on cell nuclear morphology to diagnose whether there are symptoms of cancer.

In recent years, this method has been further improved at home and abroad to make it simpler. Liquid-based cells are widely available, cell smears are evenly distributed, the background is clear, the staining layers are distinct, and they are easy to observe under a microscope. They significantly increase the detection rate of positive cells and may completely replace Pap smears if the price is right. This method can be used to observe epithelial cells, such as cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma. In addition to observing epithelial cells, this method can also detect Trichomonas, Candida, Actinomycetes, herpes simplex virus, Chlamydia, etc.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women, and its incidence rate ranks second only to breast cancer. Every year, 200,000 women die from cervical cancer worldwide, of which about 10% are in China. The incidence of cervical cancer has increased in recent years and is becoming younger. Studies have shown that cervical cancer is closely related to HPV infection, and HPV is the only carcinogenic virus that can be fully confirmed in the onset of human tumors. Current research can even confirm that preventing HPV infection can prevent cervical cancer, and without HPV infection, you will not get cervical cancer. Therefore, cervical cancer screening is so important. If screening can be performed in the early stages of the disease, the occurrence and development of cancer can be prevented. The focus of cervical cancer screening is to detect precancerous lesions during the period without subjective symptoms, and to conduct clinical diagnosis and treatment as early as possible during the non-cancerous period, so as to prevent and stop the occurrence of cancer. In one sentence, "The importance of cervical cancer screening lies in prevention, early detection and early treatment."

Cervical cancer may seem scary to women, but what is scary is that we have no awareness of the disease crisis. If female friends stop working and living blindly and take time out every year to have a full body check-up and cervical cancer screening, I believe this disease will never bother us. Even if you accidentally get cervical cancer, we can still discover it as early as possible. The earlier it is discovered, the more effective the treatment of cervical cancer will be.
