The narrow bottom of the woman's uterus is called the cervix. The opening passage is called the uterus. During a menstrual flow of blood to the uterus through the canal into the vagina. Production of mucus which facilitates the passage of sperm into the vagina on the cervix remains tightly closed. Knowing the exact function and location of the cervix will be very useful when examining the cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is the formation of abnormal cells in the lining of the cervix. Normally as cells divide more, the old cells die and new cells replace them. When the normal process of cell division goes wrong, a lot of tissue called tumors begin to grow. Benign tumors are not life threatening and normally can easily be removed permanently. They usually stay in one place and do not normally spread to other parts of the body. However, some tumors are malignant, and it is they who are very serious because they are able to spread and grow an alarming rate if not detected early. They are life threatening and can be deleted, but may still grow. When these malignant tumors occur, they are known as cancer.

Risk Factors May contribute to the possibility of developing cancer of the cervix is infection. Infection leading causes of cancer of the cervix uteri is the human papillomavirus, that are common virus that is highly contagious. It is estimated that most adults at some point in their lives, were infected with HPV, because of sexual contact with another person with the virus. It can cause changes in the cervix, which will eventually turn into cancer, warts or other problems uncomfortable and unpleasant. A weakened immune system have the same impact no cervical or women who have had many partners have a higher risk than others. Sometimes, normal aging is a factor, most often in women over 40 years.

Cancer that spreads from its domicile in another body part, the new tumor is identical to the original cell and therefore cancer is the same no matter which part of the body, it has spread. For example: If a woman has cancer of the cervix that has spread to her breast, we would not call this combination, however, we would say that cancer cells of the cervix uteri in his chest . It is considered cancer of the cervix uteri and no breast cancer. If a woman has symptoms related to cancer of the cervix, when she waited too long. Regular meetings for cancer of the cervix is important because cells can be prevented from forming cancer cervix being before symptoms begin. Today, the number of cases in the United States has declined, through screening and early detection. Doctors recommend regular testing of pap smear is done for cancer of the cervix or abnormal cells that cause cancer of the cervix. Early detection is a way to prevent this type of cancer that is treatable with a high degree of success, so get tested regularly to ensure that this becomes a major problem. It is difficult to prevent the disease, but to live in fear, but as you watch for signs, you will be able to reduce the risk of mortality.

What It Is
Cervix is an organ that exists only among women, and connects the uterus with the vagina. When the cells of the cervix begins to undergo abnormal changes, called pre-cancer progression, because it may represent the early stages of cervical cancer.
There are two types of cancer of the cervix: squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Among these, we know that the vast majority of cases are squamous cell carcinomas. Cervical cancer can be caught early and prevented from occurring through regular screening, recommended for women of all ages.
Causes of cancer cervix
We must clarify that, like all cancers, cancer of the cervix is caused by factors including a weak immune system, a balance of acid pH, oxygen and toxins in the body. But it is also often caused by certain types of HPV (human papillomavirus). Some of them can cause genital warts and cancer of the cervix, as such, may incur due to a sexually transmitted infection.
Smoking is also known to cause cancer of the cervix, and we know that the combination of HPV and smoking, or HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases, can lead to a higher level of risk.
The symptoms of cervical cancer
The most common symptom of cancer of the cervix, which sends most women into medicine in the first place is abnormal vaginal bleeding. This could include bleeding outside of normal hours, bleeding after menopause or any other type of bleeding.
Pain during intercourse is also known to be a symptom such as bleeding after intercourse. The pain associated with intercourse is called dyspareunia in the medical community.
Conventional treatment
If the cancer is confined to the outer layer of the cervix, then we have the possibility of a number of surgical treatments that can be carried out to remove the affected cells. The most common include laser surgery, which kills cancer cells using a laser, cryosurgery, which is to kill cancer cells by freezing, and a cone biopsy, which is when a piece of tissue affected by the Cancer of the cervix in total.
These procedures are useful for cancer is in its infancy, but if the cancer is invasive and has managed to penetrate the outer layer, then a hysterectomy is the most common form of surgery. This can be either a simple hysterectomy or radical hysterectomy, which is more serious. But both involve the removal of the uterus, making it impossible to become pregnant.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are also common if the cancer has spread, but we warn that they contain many unpleasant side effects, including hair loss, weakness and nausea.
Alternative and complementary treatments
Due to the nature of side effects associated with conventional therapies, many choose instead to alternative treatments, which have very little, if any, side effects and gives a much more natural healing of various types of cancer.
We can recommend Budwig parliament as a substitution treatment more effective against all types of cancer, including cervical cancer. This special scheme, which is administered under the supervision of trained experts, has its heart a very simple idea that has repeatedly proven to be a powerful anti-cancer treatment.
The basic principle of this alternative treatment is quite natural that to grow, cancer cells require glucose. The Budwig Diet is to reduce the amount of glucose in the blood by reducing the amount of sugar in the diet of cancer, and is one of the alternative treatments are most effective. But some programs go even further and recommends the total absence of sugar from food. This leads to the body using less insulin, and cancer cells can not grow.
The Budwig Diet should in particular, but basically it is a diet rich in raw vegetables, which prevents the sugar consumption. The immune system is strengthened, therefore, allows the body to fight cancer cells more effectively weakened.
As the Budwig Diet, we recommend a number of other alternative therapies designed to fight cancer cells in the body. They consist of emotional healing, which is a balance between the meridian through the increase of inner strength, light therapy biophotonics, which is central to cancer cells using natural UV rays, massage therapy, as well as the use of different types of massage to stimulate the flow of energy technology and equipment that uses frequency Energetic Scio, which aims to destroy cancer cells by mechanical vibrations.

HPV is the abbreviation for human papillomavirus. HPV causes the disease known as genital warts, but also causes cervical cancer. It is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the world today. There are many different types of HPV, not all types cause warty lesions appear in the genital area. Most people with this sexually transmitted disease do not know they have it. Statistics show that up to 50% of sexually active adults will acquire HPV in their lives. A robust immune system will probably be able to take care of the HPV infection first, so you may not even know you had. If you've been infected by the type of HPV that cause genital warts, you can see the warts, as lesions around the genital area, although the body of the penis and anus. Women with genital warts do not see no harm at all if they are confined to the vagina. The strains of HPV that cause genital warts are classified as low-risk strains of the virus that causes cervical cancer of the uterus is classified as a "high risk". The link between cancer of the cervix and sexual activity was first suspected when the observation was made (1841) that the nuns had never been diagnosed with cervical cancer of the uterus. While it was noted that cancer of the cervix was more common among women who were prostitutes. A link between viruses and cancer pappilloma has been found in research on rabbits, but it was not until the human papillomavirus has been found the link with HPV and cancer of the cervix has been made. This occurred in the 1970s.

In both Canada and the American Cancer Society lists other risk factors for cancer of the cervix, that prolonged exposure to female hormones, such as those contained in oral contraceptives, smoking, infection HIV, exposure to certain hormones such as diethylstilbestrol (DES) and genetic factors.

Cervical Cancer

Cervix is the opening of the uterus. When infected by high strains of human papillomavirus risk, these cells can develop into cancer. Women over 30 are most at risk of developing cancer of the cervix suggests that it takes time for cancerous changes occur after HPV infection. Not all women infected with human papilloma virus will continue to develop cervical cancer. In the United States, cancer of the cervix is more common among black and Hispanic populations also have higher mortality in this disease. In Canada, cancer of the cervix observed higher in the elderly (40-59 years), immigrants, Aboriginal groups and low socio-economic development. In both countries, we believe that interest rates are higher among these populations because of the absence of screening, where detection of a much later stage of the disease. The number of deaths from cancer of the cervix during the last 50 years has significantly decreased due to the ability to diagnose the disease early with regular Pap tests. This test has the same name as its author, George Papanikolaou. It is a simple test which requires a sample of cells from the cervix. The tissue is sent to a laboratory for examination microspope. Cancerous changes may be detected very early and therefore early diagnosis increases the rate of treatment success. Treatment Once the diagnosis is cancer of the cervix can be treated by removing the cancerous cells. This can vary from distant cells confined to the cervix into a complete hysterectomy, depending on how advanced the cancer is and whether it has spread to the lymph tissue. Prevention

You can reduce your risk of developing cancer of the cervix by limiting the number of sexual contacts and know your partner has HPV. If you are sexually active and not in a monogamous relationship, you must use a barrier method of protection for each sex and to undergo regular screening as part of your health check routine. It is recommended that sexually active women should undergo a pelvic exam with Pap smears every three years to 69 years. Vaccination against HPV

Vaccines have recently put on the market that provides protection against two strains of HPV high-risk. Health officials recommend that all girls be vaccinated before they are sexually active beom. The vaccine is offered free to girls in most provinces in Canada. Many U.S. states trying to enact laws that require the vaccine so far, only 3 managed to get legislation passed.

I never thought of cancer of the ovary, and why should I? In the case of gynecological cancers you hear about breast cancer all the time, cancer of the uterus and cancer of the cervix when you go to your annual pap smear, but you never hear much about all cancers of the ovary. I think it becomes a little more noticed these days but several years ago, I did not give it a thought. I'm sure I've probably heard before, at some point, but before I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 2 I was so ignorant of the signs and symptoms and had no idea of what you are looking for. Not to mention that I was a very healthy person – rarely even had a cold or flu – and the last thing I expected to hear from my doctor was the dreaded word "cancer". In fact, I probably would have been early warning signs for some time, even years, but I attribute everything as just plain old people are a little older (but not so old, I was only 43 years) and enter the stage of life when things start to bother you or get rid of principle, just as a car reached the end of the warranty. You know how it happens, your warranty runs out and you're in the store every two weeks. So I had a lot of typical symptoms and had no idea, symptoms of indigestion (never had it before), bloating, changes in menstrual periods (heavier), pelvic pain and some little after my period. Pelvic discomfort / pain was really a strange symptom, I thought it was not good with time of the month, but after a few days. But then, will disappear, and I would just figure, you know, getting older, et cetera. But then I started having this annoying leg. It was a sort of radiating pain, so I thought there must be something to do with a nerve. I have some medical knowledge so I thought it might be a kind of sciatica back issue? No, I do not think, because he did not follow the usual MO for this type of neuropathic pain. Instead of being relieved by rest was mitigated by rising and progress. Perhaps a torn muscle? How about fibroids? Yes, that was it, I decided, fibroids. I went online and researched all the symptoms and everything added up! A large fibroid must press on my sciatic nerve and cause of this unbearable pain aggravating leg. I made an appointment with my gynecologist and she agreed, yes, it should be. Winnie the Pooh, great, something serious to worry about. My gynecologist sent me for an ultrasound, where a large mass was seen, so I was immediately sent to a gynecologist oncologist. It is very reassuring, but I was reassured to hear that this is the best person for each type of GYN problems (not only cancer, but nothing unusual) that are outside the norm because these doctors are very specialized. However, it is very scary to sit in the oncologist office wondering if you can catch cancer. One looks around in the waiting room and see all patients in chemotherapy obvious, and it is quite overwhelming. Once I graduated, my doctor has scheduled surgery, and soon! My surgery was six days later and the diagnosis was stage 2 of ovarian cancer. I then had to start chemotherapy. I did not hear that! All I could think about was losing my hair. In a broader perspective, this is such a small thing, but believe me, when you're at it, it just seems horrible and terrible. But it was good news hidden inside all this evil, and it was that I had only 2 stages of ovarian cancer and not a later stage, the most frequently diagnosed (because nobody understands it ' is that symptoms have to worry about). It's just a very very small percentage number of diagnoses made in step 1 or 2. Most of all diagnoses of ovarian cancer are made in stage 3 or 4. These later stages are very different in terms of prognosis (but not desperate, there's always hope). I am happy to say that I have done all the time and is now cancer free. But I think if I had not had pain in my leg, I would not go to the doctor anytime soon, probably not for a while (I really hate going to the doctor and always put It Off) so my symptoms are equally nonspecific and seemingly very favorable, and my illness could have been overlooked, and time spent in Stage III or IV. So please listen to your body to communicate with you and if you have something to do which seems really out of the ordinary for you, although it is common for others, has no early warning whether it is checked by a doctor. This would make a huge difference in your final diagnosis.

CancerCervical cancer of the cervix was once one of the most common causes of cancer deaths, but mortality rates have dropped dramatically over the past 40 years. This is due to the widespread use of Pap tests, a study conducted at your doctor's office to detect abnormal cells before cancer develops. However, approximately 1,300 Canadian women living with cancer cervix each year and about 390 die of this disease. What is cancer of the cervix? Cervical cancer develops when cells in the cervix begin to grow out of control and can invade surrounding tissues or spread throughout the body. Large collections of cells that grow abnormally are called tumors. Some tumors are not cancer, because they can not spread or threaten someone's life. These are called benign tumors. The tumors can spread throughout the body or invade nearby tissues are considered cancer and are called malignant tumors. Usually, cancer of the cervix, slow growth, although in certain circumstances it can grow and spread quickly. CausesCervical cancer of the cervix begins with abnormal changes in cervical tissue. The risk of developing these abnormal changes has been associated with certain factors, including previous infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), early sexual contact, number of sexual partners, smoking and oral contraceptives (the pill). The development of cervical cancer is very slow. It begins with a pre-cancer condition called dysplasia. This pre-condition of cancer can be detected through a Pap smear and is 100% can be treated. This is why it is so important for women to get regular Pap tests. Most women who are diagnosed with cancer of the cervix of today have not had regular Pap tests or they did not follow up abnormal results. Signs and symptoms of early changes in cells of the cervix (epithelial abnormalities) rarely causes symptoms. If early cell changes develop into cancer of the cervix, the most common signs are: ? bleeding between periods
