Cancer has always been a huge threat to people's lives and health. For women, several types of cancers that often appear include: breast cancer , cervical cancer , endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. So, what are the characteristics of these "deadly killers" who specialize in women's attacks? How can we prevent them?
1. Breast cancer
Breast cancer has become one of the most common cancers in the world. Although some men may have breast cancer, women are more likely to suffer from cancer.
Which women are more likely to suffer from breast cancer?
is often in a high estrogen environment, such as women with early menarche and late menopause; unmarried and infertile life; those who have children over 30 years old; those who have never breastfeeded or have a short time of breastfeeding, or who have excessive intake of exogenous estrogen. In addition, long-term consumption of high-calorie and high-fat foods will also increase the risk of breast cancer.
Therefore, women must be familiar with their breasts. If they find discomfort, go to the hospital for further examination in time. In daily life, you must also take good precautions, exercise regularly, exercise, and maintain a healthy weight; maintain good work and rest habits, avoid staying up late; try to have your first child before the age of 30 and insist on breastfeeding;
2. Cervical cancer
human papillomavirus is a DNA virus, referred to as "HPV". Today, there are more than 200 types of HPV, among which high-risk HPV16, HPV52, HPV58, HPV18, etc. can all cause cervical cancer. In recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer has gradually increased, with the cumulative number of cases worldwide exceeding 500,000 and the mortality rate exceeding half.
High-risk HPV is also a key factor in cervical cancer. If infected with this virus, the body's immune system will remove the virus in most cases.
However, in 20% of women, the virus will still remain in the cervix, which greatly increases the risk of cervical infection and can easily cause cervical cancer. But in fact, if discovered early, cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers.
In addition to regular gynecological examinations, you can also receive human papillomavirus vaccine to prevent virus infection and reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
3. Endometrial cancer
Endometrial is a layer of mucosa on the inner wall of the uterus, which can reflect changes in estrogen and progesterone. Endometrial cancer is a common gynecological malignant tumor disease, so it is closely related to estrogen levels. Excessive secretion of estrogen or long-term estrogen stimulation can easily increase the possibility of cancer.
For example, menstrual disorders, menstrual disorders ; abnormal vaginal secretions, irregular vaginal bleeding, late menopause, infertility , etc. are all high-risk factors for endometrial cancer.
However, endometrial cancer is as high as 90%, so early detection and early treatment are the key. Prevention work must also be done well, and if you have a family history, you need to increase the number of examinations appropriately.
It is best for ordinary people to have a comprehensive physical examination every year; patients with hypertension , diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome should actively treat it to reduce the consumption of estrogen health products.
4. Ovarian cancer
Because The ovarian is relatively deep, it is difficult to detect early symptoms through routine gynecological examinations, which can easily lead to the continuous worsening of the tumor and delay the best time for treatment. The most important treatment method for ovarian cancer is mainly surgery, and it can also be maintained through chemotherapy and targeted drugs.
Ovarian cancer surgery is the most difficult surgery among gynecological tumors, and the risk of surgical complications is also relatively high. Therefore, looking for experienced gynecological oncology experts can help patients formulate the best treatment plan.
The incubation period of ovarian cancer is long and difficult to detect. We should not be careless about such a hidden "silent killer"! Then, gynecological physical examination is the simplest and most direct prevention method. In addition, in life, avoid using hormone drugs or health products; choosing to have children before the age of 30 and maintaining a happy mood is also a very important prevention method.
