The Ultimate Guide to Gynecological Cancer Symptoms and Treatments in the Philippines
Gynecological cancer begins in the female’s reproductive organs, usually within the pelvis or the area below the stomach and between the hip bones. Cervical cancer is a form of gynecological cancer in which the cells of the cervical area begin to grow or change out of control. The cervix, a narrow, long canal that connects the uterus to the vagina of a woman, is called a cervix.
Cervical cancer, like all other diseases, can be avoided. It is essential to detect cervical cancer early so it can be treated. Safe sex is one way to prevent cervical cancer and have an honest discussion about STIs or sexually transmitted infections. Routine pap tests and smears are another way to prevent cervical cancer. These are primarily used to detect early cervical cancer. A doctor will collect cells from your cervix during a pap test or smear.
An HPV vaccine can also be a solid start to preventing cervical cancer. An HPV vaccine can potentially prevent more than 90% of HPV-attributed cancers. The anti-cervical cancer vaccine price Philippines can range from PHP 2,500 to PHP 7,500.
Ovarian cancer is another type of gynecological cancer found in a woman’s ovaries, which are located on either side of her uterus. Ovarian cancer can also begin in the fallopian tubes and peritoneum of women. While some symptoms of ovarian cancer may look like typical side effects of women’s monthly periods, one should observe the persistence and severity of the symptoms.
Endometrial or uterine cancer is another type of gynecological cancer that starts in the lining of a woman’s uterus or endometrium. Unlike other gynecological kinds of cancers, endometrial or uterine cancer can be diagnosed early with only two symptoms: pelvic pain and frequent abnormal bleeding. These symptoms can be alarming and should be investigated for the severity and persistence of bleeding and pain.
