"I must ask for clarity in this review. Cai Tingting thought silently in her heart and walked into the outpatient department of the hospital.
She has been in treatment for several months, and her steps are determined and tired. Sitting down on the bench in the clinic, Cai Tingting had complex emotions intertwined in her heart.
As a secondary school history teacher, she is used to exploring the root of things, but this time she needs to explore her own body.
Just half a year ago, Cai Tingting was diagnosed with cervical cancer in the early stage.
For the first few months, she could barely cry because, in retrospect, her body had already issued several warnings long before her condition became clear.
She has experienced irregular bleeding, menstrual pain that is worse than usual, and even severe pain in her lower back on several occasions.
However, she always thought that the discomfort was just the result of high work pressure and lack of rest.
Today, she came to the hospital to discuss her condition and future treatment options with the doctor in detail. In the process of waiting, she saw many patients, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, health really can't wait for tomorrow.
Finally, it was her turn to enter the examination room. Sitting across from each other was her attending doctor, Dr. Lee, an experienced and affable gynaecologist.
"Mr. Cai, the results of this review are relatively optimistic, but we still need to continue treatment and observation. Dr. Lee said gently.
Cai Tingting nodded, plucked up the courage to ask, "Doctor Li, I want to know, why didn't I pay attention to those early symptoms at that time? Is it possible that this kind of negligence is a common phenomenon?"
Dr. Lee sighed and began his explanation: "Cervical cancer often has subtle symptoms in the early stages, and many women may ignore these symptoms.
Irregular bleeding or low back pain, like the one you mentioned earlier, can easily be mistaken for work fatigue or a normal reaction to menstrual periods.
That's why our doctors always emphasize the importance of regular gynecological check-ups. ”
He went on to provide some data: "According to statistics, about 70% of cervical cancer patients have ignored the initial symptoms before they are diagnosed. Moreover, most cervical cancer patients are diagnosed when the disease progresses to an advanced stage. ”
Cai Tingting listened, with some regret and some relief in her heart. She knows she's not the only one who's missing the best time for treatment by ignoring her symptoms.
Dr Lee continued, "Cervical cancer can be difficult to detect in its early stages, but most cervical cancers can be prevented if regular HPV testing and cervical smear tests are performed.
This is also the reason why we recommend every female friend to have regular gynecological check-ups. ”
Cai Tingting listened carefully, and Dr. Li's words were like a fresh wind, blowing away some of the fog in her heart. She began to understand that health was more important than she had previously realized.
After the treatment, Cai Tingting felt more responsible. She wants to educate her students, and even the wider society, about the importance of health through her experience.
In her history lessons, she began to intersperse some trivia about health education, telling students that history is not just about the past, it is also about our lives.
She uses her story to warn students that ignoring the body's small signals can lead to big problems.
At the end of the article, we can't help but ask: in the current education system, should basic health education be included in the compulsory curriculum to enhance the health awareness and self-care ability of adolescents?
First, the lack of health education can lead to adolescents' neglect of their own health, which is evident in Cai's case.
Secondly, early education can effectively help students establish health management habits and reduce future health risks.
In addition, with the increasing attention to health issues in society, the integration of health education into the school education system can effectively improve the overall health level of the people.
Therefore, based on the above analysis, it is very necessary and urgent to include health education in the compulsory curriculum. It's not just about preventing disease, it's about raising a new generation who can manage themselves and have a basic understanding of health.
