                     Ziqitza Healthcare – Cervical cancer 
awareness month
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at AIIMS, 
Mangalagiri, hosted a series of activities in January 2021. 
Cervical cancer is India’s second-highest cause of cancer 
mortality among women, and it is a major public health and 
women’s wellness concern.
A Pap smear examination of 2203 females indicated that 28% 
had abnormal results. Cervical cancer is a form of cancer that 
develops in the cells of the cervix and affects all women 
(which is the lower part of the uterus that connects the 
vagina). Women over the age of 30 are more likely to get the 
illness. The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for the 
majority of instances, and different strains of HPV can cause 
cervical cancer. When cancer hits, symptoms such as a bloody 
vaginal discharge, pelvic discomfort, or pain during intercourse 
may appear.
Cervical cancer may be prevented and treated. Cervical 
cancer can be prevented by obtaining routine Pap 
screenings, being vaccinated, practicing safer sex, and 
adopting healthy lifestyle choices including quitting 
smoking. India has the highest predicted number of 
cervical cancer deaths in 2018, according to a study 
published in the journal Lancet Global Health. This is 
quite concerning, and it is imperative that cervical 
cancer be addressed as soon as possible. 
A few preventive practices are listed below to assist 
women to avoid cervical cancer and enhance their 
quality of life. 
Vaccination: A vaccination to guard against some strains of 
HPV that might cause cervical cancer is available. These 
immunizations should be discussed with your doctor. 
When you are eligible, your doctor will explain everything 
to you. He or she will create a schedule for you and may 
inform you about the age and length for which you must 
be vaccinated.
Quit smoking: It is common knowledge that smoking is 
extremely harmful to one’s health. Smoking can cause not 
just respiratory problems, but also cervical cancer. Yes, it 
increases your risk of developing cervical cancer. Tobacco 
by-products have been shown in experiments to damage 
the DNA of cervix cells, which can lead to cervical cancer. 
As a result, it is critical to seek out a smoking cessation 
program and quit smoking as soon as feasible. 
Regular screening: Pap smear is a basic screening test 
for females to detect abnormalities of the cervix, the 
lower section of the uterus, particularly the presence of 
cancer or precancerous cells. According to Indus Health 
Plus statistics, 28 percent of 2203 females had an 
abnormal Pap smear report, which might vary from 
minor inflammation to severe illnesses including cervical 
cancer. The most anomalies were found in women 
between the ages of 41 and 50, which is the 
perimenopausal era in women, which causes a lot of 
hormonal changes that can cause a range of 
modifications in the female reproductive system. Any 
abnormality discovered during a Pap smear test should 
be reported to a gynecologist since early diagnosis can 
help to avoid problems and enhance the chances of a 
cure. 
As a result, all adult females should get a routine Pap 
smear screening, as it has proven to be a very useful 
screening test for women’s health. It is essential to engage 
in safe sexual behavior: Cervical cancer is more likely to 
occur in women who have several sexual partners, 
according to various research. So, when having intercourse, 
strive to stick to safe sex approaches. Bleeding between 
intercourses should also be carefully assessed.
Lifestyle modifications: Maintaining a healthy weight and 
not disregarding signs such as abnormal or watery vaginal 
discharge, as well as eating a well-balanced diet, can all 
assist. Make an effort to eat more fresh fruits and 
vegetables, and keep track of any abnormal Pap smears.
Similarly, more awareness about this life-threatening malignancy 
should be raised. Women should be educated and informed about 
cervical cancer in order to better cope with the disease. Cervical 
cancer is also one of the worst tumors, however, it may be 
prevented and treated.
