The dangers of cervical precancerous lesions

Cervical precancerous lesions may develop into cervical cancer, leading to abnormal proliferation of cervical tissue, impaired reproductive function, and even life-threatening conditions. The main harms of cervical precancerous lesions include lesion progression, fertility impact, psychological burden, treatment complications, and economic pressure.

1. Progress of lesions

Cervical precancerous lesions are divided into low-grade and high-grade lesions, and high-grade lesions may develop into invasive cervical cancer. Lesion progression is associated with persistent high-risk human papillomavirus infection and may be accompanied by abnormal vaginal bleeding or increased discharge. Treatment requires cervical conization, laser treatment and other methods according to the degree of the disease. If necessary, interferon suppositories or Baofukang suppositories are used as auxiliary treatment.

2. Impact on fertility

Cervical treatment procedures may lead to cervical insufficiency and increase the risk of miscarriage or premature birth. The shortening of the cervical canal after cervical conization may affect pregnancy, and some patients require cervical cerclage. Women in childbearing years need to be evaluated before treatment. It is recommended to wait 6-12 months before getting pregnant after surgery. Progesterone capsules can be used to support pregnancy.

3. Psychological burden

After diagnosis, it is easy to have anxiety and depression, and worry about cancer or affecting the couple's life. Some patients suffer from diagnosis and treatment burnout due to repeated examinations, which may be accompanied by insomnia or loss of appetite. It is recommended to carry out psychological counseling and use anti-anxiety drugs such as Escitalopram Oxalate Tablets as directed by the doctor if necessary.

4. Treat complications

Surgical treatment may cause postoperative bleeding, infection or cervical adhesion, and vaginal discharge may occur after laser treatment. Physical therapy may lead to reduced menstrual flow or cervical stenosis. In severe cases, cefixime dispersible tablets must be used to prevent infection, and estradiol gel may be used to improve local healing.

5. Economic pressure

Long-term follow-up testing incurs ongoing costs, and treatment of high-grade lesions costs thousands to tens of thousands of yuan. In some areas, the HPV vaccine is not included in medical insurance, and regular colposcopy and pathological examinations increase expenditures. It is recommended to improve the medical insurance coverage of cancer screening and use recombinant human interferon α2b vaginal effervescent tablets to control virus replication.

Regular cervical cancer screening is the key to preventing the progression of precancerous lesions. It is recommended that women over the age of 21 undergo TCT examination every three years, and women over the age of 30 undergo combined HPV testing. Maintain a single sex partner and get the HPV vaccine, and avoid risk factors such as smoking. If contact bleeding occurs, you should seek medical treatment promptly and review every 6 months after treatment until your condition is stable. Pay attention to enhancing your immunity every day and properly supplement with selenium and vitamin E.
