Pregnancy and cervical cancer
Cervical cancer (CC) - the disease is very dangerous to the health and lives of women. Characterized by endocervical cell atypia or ekzotserviksa (violation of differentiation, the presence of polymorphism, metastatic growth). The tumor is found in many countries with varying frequency.

Risk factors for cervical cancer
The probability of HPV infection increases if:

- having many s... Read more »

Cervical cancer never develops in an unchanged the epithelium (layer of cells lining the cervix). In other words, he is always preceded by precancerous changes in the epithelium, called dysplasia or CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia). Most often, cervical cancer develops in the transition zone - the site of the junction of the squamous epithelium (which lines the outer part of the cervix - ektotserviks) and iron (which lines the cervical canal, endocervical). ...

Cervical cancer usually develops slowly - over several years (although in some cases, development can proceed quite rapidly). Before we will develop the tumor cells, cervical tissue undergoes changes at the cellular level - there is epithelial dysplasia. Left untreated, dysplasia progresses from mild (CIN I) to moderate (CIN II) and severe dysplasia (CIN III). CIN III includes both severe degree of dysplasia and intraepithelial carcinoma or carcinoma in situ. This e... Read more »

In the early stages (intraepithelial, microinvasive) cervical cancer usually occurs without symptoms and can be detected only by cytology smear from the cervix and colposcopy. That is why it is important to regularly visit a gynecologist and be screened.
The primary symptom of cervical cancer may be a contact bleeding (during intercourse or after it), rare watery, which caused the destruction of the lymphatic capillaries adjacent to the epithelial layer. Lat... Read more »

Diagnosis of cervical cancer in the development process is not difficult: the presence of typical complaints of patients with leucorrhoea, bleeding and pain, examination of the cervix with the help of mirrors, biopsy of suspicious areas and subsequent histological examination in all cases allow the correct diagnosis.
On examination of the cervix with the help of mirrors is recommended to perform tests (pressure on the affected area of the cervix bellied prob... Read more »

Due to successfully serving the Western European countries and the U.S. system of screening the female population with cervical cancer can be easily detected at the earliest stages and is fully cured in most of the cases. Statistics of the European Association of cervical cancer (ECCA) show - with timely detection of cervical cancer can be cured in 98% of cases.
Choice of treatment depends on the stage of disease, patient's age, concomitant diseases and certa... Read more »

Since most tumors of the cervix develops from precancerous diseases, there are two ways to prevent their occurrence. The first is the prevention of precancerous states and the second - the identification and treatment of precancerous diseases before they become cancer.
Necessary to avoid the risk factors
You can avoid most of precancerous cervical disease when prevent the occurrence of risk factors, such as... Read more »
