Best Cervical Cancer Treatment In Delhi

 RISK FACTORS: 

Almost all cervical cancers are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that can be passed from one person to another during sex. There are many types of HPV. Some HPV types can cause changes in a woman’s cervix that can lead to cervical cancer over time, while other types can cause genital or skin warts.

HPV is so common that most people get it at some time in their lives. HPV usually causes no symptoms so you can’t tell that you have it. For most women, HPV will go away on its own; however, if it does not, there is a chance that over time it may cause cervical cancer.

Other things can increase your risk of cervical cancer—

·         Having HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) or another condition that makes it hard for your body to fight off health problems.

·         Smoking.

·         Using birth control pills for a long time (five or more years).

·         Having given birth to three or more children.

·         Having several sexual partners.

SYMPTOMS:

Early on, cervical cancer may not cause signs and symptoms. Advanced cervical cancer may cause bleeding or discharge from the vagina that is not normal for you, such as bleeding after sex. If you have any of these signs, see your doctor. They may be caused by something other than cancer, but the only way to know is to see your doctor.

CERVICAL CANCER TREATMENT:

Cervical cancer treatment can be done in several ways. It depends on the kind of cervical cancer and how far it has spread. Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

·         Surgery: Doctors remove cancer tissue in an operation.

·         Chemotherapy: Using special medicines to shrink or kill cancer. The drugs can be pills you take or medicines given in your veins, or sometimes both.

·         Radiation: Using high-energy rays (similar to X-rays) to kill cancer.

Different cervical cancer treatments may be provided by different doctors on your medical team.

·         Surgeons are doctors who perform operations.

·         Medical oncologists are doctors who treat cancer with medicine.
