Things to Know about Cervical Cancer Prevention

You can lower the risk of getting cervical cancer, but it can’t be completely prevented. In the beginning, cervical cancer will bring pre-cancerous changes to the body. But you can diagnose and stop it from turning invasive. If someone wants to detect their cervical pre-cancers, then they can do tests such as screening tests, Pap test (or Pap smear) and the human papillomavirus (HPV) test.   

There are many oncologists in Dubai and you can consult them at the best hospital in Dubai. These measures may help you prevent deadly cancer. 

HPV vaccine  

You can reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer by taking an HPV vaccine. But it doesn’t guarantee full protection against the disease. The vaccine will fully protect against cancer-related HPV infections. Therefore, you should carry out cervical screening tests, even if you are vaccinated.  

The HPV vaccine needs to be taken a few times to work inside the body. There are side effects that are usually mild and the most common ones are swelling, soreness and redness at the injection area. In rare cases, you may also faint right after getting vaccinated.  

Smoking   

According to research, cigarette smoking doubles the risk of getting cervical cancer. Tobacco-related products are also considered to have contributed to the development of cancer-related HPV infections. If you decide to stop smoking cigarettes, you can visit the best hospital in Dubai for more advice on quitting.   

Cervical Screening   

You can detect the development of cancer cells in the cervix if you regularly do a cervical screening. Doctors suggest the women aged between 25 to 49 do screening every 3 years. While women aged between 50 to 64 years can do it every 5 years. The cervical screening must be done even if you are vaccinated for HPV, because it may not protect against cervical cancer.   

The cervical screening may have to continue for several years if you’ve been treated for abnormal cervical cell changes. Cervical screening isn’t always 100 percent accurate although it can detect most abnormal cell changes in the cervix. If you have any symptoms such as vaginal bleeding even after screening then you must report your GP.   

HPV test 

You can do an HPV test depending upon the problems you face in the cervix. The test is designed to detect a high-risk infection that can cause cervical cancer. An HPV test can be considered as a primary test or a co-test depending upon the situation.   

PAP Test   

This test is done at a lab where it collects cells from your cervix to find cancer and pre-cancer.  Most of the invasive cervical cancers are found in women who haven’t screened regularly for Pap tests. Your current and past results will determine the risk of developing pre-cancer and cancer.   

The Bottomline   

There are many factors which leads to Cervex cancer. Your nutrition, sleeping cycle, weak immune systemandd others determine the development of cancer. Therefore, you should always be careful of all these things as well.
