Under what circumstances are cervical cancer likely to occur?

The occurrence of cervical cancer is closely related to factors such as high-risk human papillomavirus infection, low immune function, long-term smoking, multiple pregnancies and premature sexual intercourse. The main causes include persistent HPV infection, immune system suppression, bad living habits, multiple births and early childbearing, and long-term oral contraceptives.

1. HPV persistent infection

Persistent infection with high-risk HPV16 and 18 subtypes is the main cause of cervical cancer. The virus integrates into the host cell genome and causes cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Patients may experience symptoms such as contact bleeding and vaginal discharge. Clinically, recombinant human interferon α2b suppositories, Baofukang suppositories, and anti-HPV biological protein dressings are commonly used for local treatment. At the same time, regular combined cervical TCT and HPV screening is required.

2. Immune system suppression

The impaired cellular immune function of AIDS patients or people who use immunosuppressants for a long time will increase the probability of persistent HPV infection. This group of people may be accompanied by symptoms such as repeated vaginitis and slow wound healing. It is recommended to use immune modulators such as thymosin enteric-coated tablets and Pidotimod oral solution as directed by the doctor, and conduct colposcopy monitoring every six months.

3. Bad living habits

Smoking more than 10 cigarettes a day will reduce the local immunity of the cervix, and tobacco metabolites can damage the DNA of cervical epithelial cells. It is often accompanied by an increase in white, sticky vaginal secretions. It is necessary to quit smoking and use local preparations such as Sophora flavescens gel and chitosan cervical antibacterial film, and increase the intake of dark green vegetables.

4. Fertility and early childbearing

Giving birth before the age of 18 or experiencing more than three full-term births will increase the risk of cancer due to multiple trauma repairs on the cervix. Such patients often see cervical erosion-like changes. It is recommended to use compound sea buckthorn seed oil suppositories to promote repair after delivery and avoid using estrogen and progesterone combined contraceptive pills.

5. Long-term oral contraceptives

Continuous use of birth control pills for more than 5 years may change the characteristics of cervical mucus and promote the retention of HPV virus. It may be accompanied by menstrual cycle disorders, so you should switch to barrier contraceptive methods, use Kuntai capsules to regulate endocrine if necessary, and increase the frequency of cervical cancer screening.

It is recommended that women over 30 years old undergo cervical TCT combined with HPV testing every three years. HPV vaccination can prevent more than 70% of cervical cancer. Maintain a single sexual partner, avoid vaginal douching that damages the microenvironment, and increase your daily intake of vegetables containing glucosinolates such as broccoli and carrots. If abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge occurs, you should seek gynecological treatment promptly and avoid using cervical treatment services provided by informal institutions.
