Zhang Xiaolin, a 34-year-old working woman, works in a foreign company in a big city, she has to deal with a lot of work every day, dealing with various challenges and pressures, for a long time she put all her mind on work, ignoring her physical health, until that day, a sudden severe pain, so that the trajectory of her life changed.
It was an ordinary working day, Zhang Xiaolin was in the office for a meeting, and suddenly she felt a sharp cramping pain in her lower abdomen, accompanied by vaginal bleeding, the pain was so intense that she could barely stand, and her colleagues saw this and rushed her to the hospital.
After a series of examinations in the gynecology department of the hospital, the doctor found that Zhang Xiaolin's cervix had a lump with a cauliflower-shaped surface that was easy to bleed, and the doctor told her solemnly: "Ms. Zhang, your condition is not optimistic, there may be malignant lesions in the cervix, I suggest you do further examinations as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis." "
Hearing the news, Zhang Xiaolin suddenly felt that the world was spinning, she couldn't believe that she was so young, how could she get such a disease? The subsequent cervical biopsy and CT examination made her fear increase day by day.
A few days later, when Zhang Xiaolin sat in the doctor's office, waiting for the test results, her heart almost jumped out of her throat, the doctor opened the report, and said earnestly: "Ms. Zhang, I regret to tell you that you have been diagnosed with cervical cancer, and it is already in the middle and advanced stages," the news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Zhang Xiaolin instantly burst into tears, she choked up and asked the doctor: "How can I get cervical cancer when I am only 34 years old, and how long can I live in the future?"
The doctor comforted her and said: "Now that medical technology is developed, cervical cancer can be treated, but your condition is already more serious, and you need surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy as soon as possible, in addition, I must remind you that cervical cancer is related to unsafe sex when you were young, HPV virus infection is the main cause of cervical cancer, and this virus is mainly transmitted through sex." "
In Zhang Xiaolin's mind, a scene from more than ten years ago emerged, when she had just stepped into society, she was curious about love and sex, she had a few boyfriends, and she also had some dewy love, she was young and vigorous, she never cared about safety measures, she felt that she was still young and would be fine, and now she thinks that those ignorance and recklessness have become a hidden danger to her health.
If she had gone for cervical cancer screening earlier, would she not have been where she is now? Zhang Xiaolin has asked herself this question countless times, but the reality cannot be changed, and she can only bravely face the challenges in front of her.
In the following days, Zhang Xiaolin began a long road against cancer, she underwent radical cervical cancer surgery, removed the diseased cervix and part of the vagina, and underwent multiple rounds of radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery, the process was full of pain and suffering, but Zhang Xiaolin did not give up, she had to fight for her life.
At the same time, her story has also aroused reflection from those around me, and as her attending doctor, I feel a great responsibility, and I realize that the prevention and early screening of cervical cancer is the duty of every gynaecologist.
I began to call on the majority of female friends to pay attention to the prevention of cervical cancer in outpatient clinics, lectures, and on the Internet, and I told them that safe sex is very important, to reduce the number of sexual partners, insist on using condoms, and regular screening can not be left behind, the mainland currently recommends that women aged 21-65 who have sex have cervical cytology screening every 3 years, and if the results are abnormal, they also need to do colposcopy and biopsy.
In addition, HPV vaccine is also a weapon to prevent cervical cancer, the mainland has approved bivalent, quadrivalent and nine-valent HPV vaccines, the ideal age of vaccination is 9-45 years old, but women who have begun sex can also consider vaccination, I often encourage cervical cancer patients, do not lose confidence, modern medicine can effectively control the disease through surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other means, prolong survival, the earlier it is detected, the better the treatment effect.
Gradually, under my propaganda and Zhang Xiaolin's inspiration, more and more women have begun to pay attention to the prevention of cervical cancer, they have regular screening, vaccination, and healthy living habits.
When Zhang Xiaolin reappeared in my office a year later, I could barely recognize her, who had been haggard and desperate, but now her face was full of life and hope, and the examination showed that her condition was effectively controlled and her quality of life was greatly improved.
"Thank you, doctor," Zhang Xiaolin said gratefully, "It was you who gave me a second life, and more importantly, you awakened my attention to health, I now understand that life is only once, and I must cherish it," I nodded and said with a smile: "It's not that you have awakened more people, your story has made countless women realize the dangers of cervical cancer and begin to pay attention to their health, this is what you mean."
