By Mansi Aggarwal

Cervical affects the female body in the cervix region.
The womb of a woman finds its opening through the cervix. Many a
times the human papilloma virus causes the disease. It is
transmitted sexual exchanges. The cervix being the most
important organ of the reproductive system requires proper
attention as far as onset is concerned. Such a cancer
affects the other organs of the cervix region and can cause
damage to the reproductive organs. This makes the disease all
the more fatal. Such a spread is commonly termed as metastasis.

Although human papilloma virus is the main cause of the disease
but it is also diagnosed with women who are in a habit of
smoking. The instances of lung and breast associated with
the cervical are there. This shows that the
susceptibility of women to have is higher by the means of
cervical cancer. The disease is indicated by the presences of
warts on the area around cervix. But a regular medical check up
is required because sometimes the warts may not even appear on
the skin and the disease goes undetected.

The common symptoms of the disease are prolonged pains in the
thoracic region. Sometimes the leg and the lower back start
paining unbearably. Anemia is very frequently associated with
cervical cancer. As a result of anemia the patient also
experiences a weight loss and fatigue. The person also looses
his normal appetite. The detection of this carcinoma by oneself
is almost impossible. It is at the later stages only that, with
the help of a doctor can one detect it.

The disease is very deadly as its detection is very difficult.
Though the doctors can detect it by a simple pap smear but if
the treatment is avoided for too long then it may cause a fatal
results. The most important thing to note here is that the
disease can spread to other parts of the body including the
vagina and the other connective tissue. It spreads vigorously
and the infection spreads very fast. The disease has the
potential to damage the primary reproductive organs and
jeopardize reproductive capacity of the woman.

A particular

form of papilloma strain increases the
vulnerability to disease. Also improper sexual behaviour and
inadequate hygiene also caters to the onset of cervical cancer.
A drug administered to prevent miscarriage (diethylstilbestrol),
if given in great quantities also increases the susceptibility
of the disease. The diagnosis of the disease is done by
examining the vaginal fluid of the suspected patient and is
checked for the strains of cancer.

Chemo-radiation is a combination of chemotherapy and radiation
therapy is an effective measure in treatment of cancer. The
infected cells can also be surgically removed. But the woman has
to make a tough decision regarding jeopardizing her fertility.
Thus most women go for the usual medication. A simple approach
to prevent the disease is to have clean habits and regular check
ups. The disease can be prevented by such steps though it cannot
be ruled out after these.

A healthy woman is the most important asset of a family and
there fore a woman should keep her self clean and ready to
prevent such disease.
