Who is susceptible to cervical cancer?
6 high-risk groups to beware!
The HPV virus is contagious and is transmitted mainly through sexual contact.
Current studies have confirmed that women with the following 6 types of conditions have an increased risk of cervical cancer:
1. Have multiple personality partners. Including multiple sexual partners, or multiple sexual partners of the spouse, the probability of HPV infection will increase significantly, resulting in an increase in the probability of cervical cancer.
2, premature sexual life. For example, in the teens, the risk of cervical cancer has increased accordingly.
3. People with low immunity. For example, patients infected with HIV, or people who use anti-rejection drugs after organ transplantation.
4, usually like to smoke people. Both first-hand and second-hand smoke are equally harmful.
5. Women who have multiple children, if infected with HPV, the probability of cervical cancer will increase.
6. Long-term reproductive tract infection or vaginal flora disorder will increase the risk of HPV persistent infection with cervical cancer.

What do I do when I go to the hospital?
There are 2 checks that are mandatory~
The vast majority of cervical cancers are in the early stages or in the precancerous stages without any symptoms.
Therefore, the most reliable method is to regularly visit the hospital for cervical cancer screening, including TCT testing and HPV testing.
In general, if there is a problem with cervical TCT and HPV, the doctor will make the next step according to the specific situation. If necessary, a colposcopic biopsy is done based on the results.
Of course, cervical cone incision is sometimes done to determine the extent and depth of lesion infiltration.
In addition, B ultrasound, pelvic enhanced magnetic resonance or CT, and even PET-CT are also done as needed, and tumor markers are also very important.
