Uterine fibroids to be removed?

With the prevalence of screening, many women are diagnosed with fibroids at a young age, and about 3 in 1,000 are malignant. Generally, fibroids do not require surgery unless they grow in a special location. Uterine fibroids grow in the anterior position, compressing the bladder will cause frequent urination; close to the back will compress the rectum, causing constipation; growing in the endometrium will cause heavy menstrual bleeding, and the above conditions must be removed.

The formation of cervical cancer:

The cause is closely related to the human papilloma virus, because the virus will “live” on the cervix and cause the disease to become cancer, but it can be prevented by vaccines, and both men and women can be vaccinated, because the virus spreads through general contact infection, not There is only sexual contact, so it is highly recommended that men also stroking. Fortunately, due to the popularity of smear examinations, cervical cancer is mostly found in precancerous lesions, and it is not difficult to solve as long as surgery is performed.

Endometrial cancer is difficult to detect:

The incidence of endometrial cancer ranks first among women with genital tract cancer. Since there is no proper screening method, most of the time it can only be judged by observing whether there is abnormal bleeding. Therefore, it is very important to observe the menstrual cycle, which is usually judged by the frequency and duration of bleeding. Whether it is regular or not, if the time is not within the cycle, for example: 10 to 20 days at a time, and again soon after the menstrual period ends, it is called abnormal bleeding. There are two places where bleeding occurs, the first is the cervix, which may have cancer problems or cervical erosion; the second is the endometrium, which may have functional problems or cancer.
