Ways to prevent Cervical Cancer
Any woman is at danger of developing cervical cancer; anyway, there are certain measures that can be taken to decrease those risks. Although, a risk is not a definitely that cervical cancer will develop, as there are other reasons that are linked with such a development.
Sexually transmitted
disease or STD such as HPV (genital warts) are an initial danger factor in the
development of cervical cancer (Genital warts infections are more prevalent
when sexual activity starts before the age of sixteen years old, and a women
has many sexual partners). The following is advised:
Maintain a right
relationship (both partners having a sexual link with each other no third sex
partner participation with either.
Forever use a condom (even
in a one sexual partner relationship until hundred percent confidence is built)
while having sex, as condom will cut-down the dangers of a sexual disease being
contracted, HPV infections can be transmitted by both perineal, the tissue area marking the estimated boundary externally of the pelvic outlet that provides passage to the urinogenital rectum and ducts, and the area between the posterior part of the anus, external genitalia and perianal contact where
condoms are of little use.
This is one of the most perfect ways of preventing cervical cancer, as an early detection generally helps determine the fate of most women (cervical cancer generally shows no early symptoms or signs of female problem). The following is advised:
Age range recommendations
for RAP testing
- 21-29 years old every two years
- 30 years + old every three years
- 65 years + old are not necessary if the following apply: the last 3 PAP tests outcomes were normal, and with no abnormal outcomes showing in the last ten years
Anyway, if this is
not the case, regular PAP tests should be continued (consultation with a health
advisor or doctor is advised for a right scheduling regime).
Vaccinations are accessible to counter the chance of developing cervical cancer. Two vaccines (Cervarix and Gardasil) can help stopping cervical cancer by infection: anyway, they are not hundred percent realiable as they are only capable to act against certain strains of HPV (strain sixteen and eighteen) that account for over 90 percent of cervical cancer caused by HPVs. The Gardasil vaccine also saves
against two further strains of HPV that cause genital warts.
Gardasil
Three infections needed over a period of 6 months before sexual activity starts – verified for between the ages of 9-25 years old.
Three infections needed over a period of 6 months before sexual activity starts – verified for between the ages of 9-25 years old.
Cervarix
Three infections over a period of 6 month before sexual activity starts – verified for between the ages of 10-25 years old.
Three infections over a period of 6 month before sexual activity starts – verified for between the ages of 10-25 years old.
The currently accessible
vaccines are efficacious and safe. The protection is seen only when the vaccine
is offered before infection with HPV, the vaccine should be given prior to sexual debut. The vaccine should first be introduced to parents as a cervical cancer solution vaccine and not as a vaccine against sexually moved infection. The HPV vaccination is therefore of public fitness importance.
