Symptoms of cervical cancer : 

Lead changes in the cells of the cervix is normal or abnormal to the emergence of symptoms in some rare cases, but in the case of aggravated these symptoms they develop into cancer of the uterus. Among these symptoms are: (1)

The causes of cervical cancer :

The main cause of cervical cancer in general, and especially the cervix, is a virus called papilloma virus, and spread in several types, not all of which are considered causing uterine cancer; some of them cause genital warts, and some of them do not show him any symptoms. Transmitted infection when having a sexual relationship with a person holder of this virus.

There are a lot of women who become pregnant papilloma virus for many years without teach it. This could be the virus remains in the body for many years, and so without causing symptoms phenomenon; which may cause cervical cancer over the years.

Therefore, a woman should be doing periodically checked before the virus turns into cancer in the uterus; it could be this examination to detect any changes in the cells of the cervix, before any cancer cells that originate in the cervix. 

Diagnosis of uterine cancer : 

Must be examined or cervical scan routine, and the purpose of it is to detect abnormal changes in cervical cells. Routine screening is an easy procedure, in addition to being the only means available to detect emergency changes in cervical cells, processed, before its transformation into cancer of the cervix.

In order for the doctor makes sure there is no cancer in the cervix in women; and the patient asking questions about family medical history of the disease, then an examination includes checking to wipe the neck, and pelvic examination. The doctor may need to conduct several other tests, to be able to assess the situation carefully, and determine the appropriate treatment to them.

There are tests are necessary to confirm the diagnosis of cervical cancer, and include:

* Endoscopic examination of the vagina, and biopsy of cervical tissue, so as to detect whether there were cancerous cells on the outer surface of the lining of the cervix, and locate.

* Biopsy in the mucous membrane of the cervix or endometrium, to detect the presence of cancer cells in the cervical canal.

* Cone biopsy, and the eradication of the tissue through a spiral electrode wire. Where the sample is taken from the cervix tissue using these methods, and examined microscopically.

As it can be conducted examining me biopsy and colposcopy through the cervix to a pregnant woman tissue; in order to confirm the diagnosis of cervical cancer. So you should test for cervical smear be examined periodically. This test is used to detect any abnormal changes in cervical cells, through which shows if there is cancer in the cervix. It is the most successful to prevent the emergence of cervical cancer.

The treatment of cervical cancer : 

When it detects cervical cancer in its early stages, the likelihood of cure is greater, where it can be for the patient to be able to pregnancy and childbirth after the completion of treatment. Treatment depends on the advanced stages of the eradication of cancerous cells, leading to an inability to have children later. And determine the amount of necessary treatment, according to the amount of cancerous cells that have grown. There is the possibility to combine a lot of treatments. There are also many ways to treat, including:

Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy and be a typical way at certain stages of the disease cervical cancer. And often it combines surgical treatment and radiation therapy. The radiation therapy is used by high-ray waves, so as to eliminate the cancerous cells and reduce tumors.

Chemical treatment: and carried out through taking medication works to kill cancer cells, where these drugs are injected intravenously normally. And the intervention of drug substance of blood and up for any place that has cancer cells in the body. The use of hormonal treatment for women in the advanced stages of contracting cancer of the uterus.

* Hysterectomy: This is done in advanced disease stages, if radiation therapy or chemical did not work, and the doctor can be forced to eradicate both ovaries, the fallopian tubes, lymph glands in the pelvic area; and so make sure to remove the tumor entire carcinogenic.

And the patients feel a lot of fear and panic to detect cervical cancer. In such cases, patients are advised to speak with others recovered from the disease, which may improve the patient is feeling. 

Prevention of cervical cancer : 

The cervical screening survey is the best solution to detect any changes that may occur in the cervical cells, which can cause cancer in it. And it ensures the periodic inspection to discover these changes before they become cancerous tumor. Therefore must undergo a medical supervision continuously, and to receive appropriate treatment after any examination indicates the presence of abnormal cells.

Because sex cause of cervical cancer; the best way to prevent cervical cancer is to take the necessary precautions, such as ensuring hygiene, and that the relationship is secure through the use of condoms.

Endometrial cancer : 

It is a type of cancers that begin in the uterus, where the lining of the uterus cancer starts in a layer of cells that form the lining of the uterus, and can be other types of cancers are formed in the womb, including swelling of the flesh in the womb, but it is less common relative to cervical cancer.

In many cases, disclosure of endometrial cancer early; because women notice an abnormal vaginal bleeding, which prompts them to see her doctor. Women are over the age of fifty are more susceptible to endometrial cancer compared with other women.

Symptoms :

It is usually diagnosed endometrial cancer through biopsy. Where the doctor takes in this test a small sample of the lining of the uterus to look for cancerous cells. It is the symptoms that you should immediately go to the doctor the patient in the event of their presence, the following:

* Vaginal bleeding is normal after menopause, or vaginal bleeding between menstrual periods?; And 
this offer is the most common symptoms of endometrial cancer.

* A tumor in the pelvic area; which causes severe pain in this region, and therefore the patient's disability feel when doing daily chores.

* Sudden weight loss, without resorting to dieting.

* Pain during intercourse, the cancer that causes swelling in the womb alter the size, shape, and this is compounded by the friction caused by sexual intercourse, leaving a sharp pain.

the reasons :

The main reason for most of the types of injuries uterine cancer is the excessive secretion of the hormone estrogen, compared with the hormone progesterone in the body. This hormonal imbalance causes thicker in the lining of the uterus, and in the case of the lining of the uterus continues to accumulate and remained that way; the cancer cells begin to grow abnormally.

There is generally a lasting balance in our bodies between the amount of dead cells and the amount of new cells that grow in lieu thereof, which are produced by the division process. But when a split is a regular process; are produced the largest amount of cells, which develop into a cancerous tumor with the passage of days. It is possible that the cells to spread and reach other organs in the body, which affects the performance. There is also a strong relationship between high estrogen ratio versus progesterone hormone and the appearance of these tumors.

There are also a lot of factors that lead to this hormonal imbalance, including:

Hormone therapy through estrogen: There are a lot of women receiving hormone therapy, in order to reduce the symptoms that occur at menopause. If there is a need to receive hormonal treatment; it is essential that integrates with progesterone.

* Obesity: secreted estrogen in the ovaries, also secreted by adipose tissue. The more fatty tissue in the body, the secretion of estrogen greater level. Also, the likelihood of injury to women suffering from obesity, cancer of the uterus to fold up the possibility of injury to women who are not obese.

*  The menstrual cycle is regular: The menstrual cycle is regular indicate an increase in the secretion of improper amounts of estrogen compared to progesterone; Women who suffer from menstrual disorders are more susceptible to the disease than other women.

*  Other factors not related to estrogen; it may increase the risk of infection, such as: breast cancer, cancer of the bowel or ovarian, and his treatment by the drug "tamoxifen."

Diagnosis : 

The doctor in the early stages to conduct examination of vagina, from which recognize the existence of any changes in the shape of the uterus or the presence of any lumps in it. You can perform ultrasonic imaging; to allow him to see and measure the thickness of the uterus. The doctor can take a biopsy of the area suspected as being infected with the disease, and by which determine the features doubtful tissue cells.

Treatment : 

There is no need after being diagnosed with endometrial cancer to conduct other tests to diagnose the type and extent of the tumor in the womb or in the entire body.

And it is a treat endometrial cancer by surgery in most cases, through which the hysterectomy, the ovaries, the uterine tubes, and the lymph nodes in the affected area with the disease. In spite of being a broad-effect consequences step, but this is the only treatment in many cases. Must examine the lymph nodes in the affected area, in order to confirm whether the tumor has spread and, if there was a need for other treatments.

In cases where the disease has spread to the lymph glands in the nearby areas, there are doubts that the tumor has spread to other places in the body of the patient, and in this case there is a need for a combination of radiation therapy and surgery, and treatment hormonal or chemotherapy, through the hormone progesterone or hormones addressed to the gonads many quantities.

Although hysterectomy is the perfect solution; however, hormonal therapy may be the possibility of a great success for the young ladies. This can be done in the early cases of the disease. Successful treatment and is considered by 95% of women; in spite of the fear of having a mobile cancer cells elsewhere.

Prevention : 

Although there is the possibility of preventing infection with cervical cancer in most cases, only to follow some roads are bound to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer, namely:

* Built receive treatment for estrogen and progesterone, as what has been the use of hormone therapy after menopause.

* Taking the pill. 

* Maintain a healthy body weight and regularly, with exercise continuously, twice daily or at least every week.
