Q. What happens if we have cervical cancer?

Answered by Secondmedic Expert

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that affects the cervix, which is the lower, narrow end of the uterus. This type of cancer often occurs in women over the age of 30 and can be caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection.

If you are diagnosed with cervical cancer, it is important to begin treatment as soon as possible. Common treatments may include surgery to remove the abnormal cells or tissues in your cervix, radiation therapy to stop further growth of abnormal cells and chemotherapy to kill any remaining abnormal cells. Depending on your diagnosis and how far along your cancer has progressed, other forms of treatment such as hormone therapy may also be used. In some cases, a complete hysterectomy may be necessary if more aggressive treatments have not been successful in stopping further spread or recurrence of cervical cancer.

It's also important for those diagnosed with cervical cancer to seek out emotional support from family and friends during their journey with this condition. Cervical Cancer Support Groups are available online or through local hospitals or health centers that can provide valuable information about available care options and resources one needs on their road to recovery from cervical cancer.
