This type of cancer is effectively prevented by Pap smear or Pap test should be performed periodically. It is vital to the prolix in medical examination because the disease develops slowly and often has no symptoms.

Anyway, women can, in some cases, receive some changes as the presence of vaginal discharge in a continuous, abnormal vaginal bleeding between periods, after intercourse or menopause, and times more abundant than usual.

In a more advanced cervical cancer may feel loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, pelvic pain, back and legs, swelling in one leg, leakage of urine or feces from the vagina and bone fractures .

There are certain groups at risk for the formation of cervical cancer, and are women who began their early sex life, women with multiple sexual partners or whose partners have multiple sex partners and those who practice unprotected sex.

They also have to take special care in the daughters of women during shipping have taken DES (diethylstilbestrol), a substance used in the sixties to prevent spontaneous abortions, and women with weak immune systems.

The main cause of cervical cancer is infection with HPV. HPV is the sexually transmitted disease more frequent today.

The man acts as a carrier of the disease without even knowing it, in most cases.

Infection occurs from sexual contact of a woman and a man carrying the virus that sowed in the lining of the cervix.

In most cases the defense systems, the agency charged with eliminating the virus and the infection resolves without sequelae.
But the misfortune is that the HPV virus has mechanisms to attach to epithelial cells and transform them into malignant cells.

The virus has a protein capsule that allows you to adhere to the epithelial cells of the cervix.

Cervical cancer begins to develop when the virus manages to insert its genes into the genes of the infected cell, so the virus remains while the cell is alive.

The genes of the viruses produce a type of protein that attacks the genes that are responsible for maintaining healthy cell, so that the cell is transformed into a malignant cell that grows on its own and then attacks other tissues.

This process takes a long period of time, usually about 10 years.

Treatment and Prevention

The rapidly progressing cervical cancer worldwide.

If cervical cancer is detected early, it will be necessary to treat the patient with a combination treatment of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Fortunately, cervical cancer is detected early, regular appointments with a gynecologist and an annual Pap test. The physician can detect and take steps to eliminate it.

The Pap test or Pap smear is a test that examines cells from the cervix with a microscope to detect abnormal changes in those cells.

Getting a Pap smear is an opportunity not to die of cervical cancer, as it allows this to be detected and treated early.

The Pap test is an essential in the life of every sexually active woman

Developed vaccines against HPV cause the body to produce antibodies that act against the virus and thus prevent infection.

It is recommended that all women are vaccinated before sexual intercourse, it is recommended to vaccinate all girls aged 14 or older who are virgins.

The more sexual partners, more likely to contract HPV, so the vaccine is also recommended for women with many sexual partners.

Vaccination with HPV and regular visits to the gynecologist, may prevent most cases of cervical cancer.

1. Tomato sauce

Men who eat a lot of tomatoes or tomato sauce could be to protect against prostate cancer, according to Harvard University researchers who studied the eating habits of 47,000 health professionals, men. They found that men who ate tomato sauce two to four times per week have a risk of 35 percent lower than that to get prostate cancer than those who do not consume. A carotenoid called lycopene, abundant in tomatoes, seems to be responsible. But some doctors puzzled: tomato juice did not seem to offer the same protection. The reason, as other studies have shown that lycopene is better absorbed if cooked with some kind of fat.

2. Oysters

A myth that says oysters are the food of love. Maybe science agrees. Only two or three oysters per day provides the daily amount of zinc is needed for the functioning reproductive system of men. There is controversy among scientists because of several studies showing that sperm counts have declined over the past 50 years due to environmental factors. Malnutrition would cause some cases of low testosterone levels. Sometimes the solution is to eat more zinc. (We recommend 11 mg per day for men, more than 40 can be very dangerous.) In an experiment, 22 subjects who had low testosterone levels and reduced sperm counts were given zinc every day for 45-50 days. Both testosterone and sperm increased.

3. Broccoli

In a recent study conducted at Harvard found that vegetables such as broccoli, may protect against bladder cancer, which affects men more often two or three times higher than in the case of women. The scientists analyzed the diet nearly 50,000 people found that those who ate five or more servings of vegetables a week and a half to run the risk of bladder cancer in the ten-year period than those who rarely ate. The broccoli and cabbage are vegetables that offer greater protection.

4. Avocado

Avocados are two compounds that fight disease. The first is beta-sitosterol, a chemical that seems to have the ability to cause a decrease in blood cholesterol concentration. Second is glutathione, a substance that serves as an antioxidant phytochemical and neutralize free radicals, harmful compounds that promote heart disease and cancer. If two players are placed in a package that contains a large amount of monounsaturated fats, you get the food to maintain optimal heart health. This is good news for people of all ages.

5. Watermelon

Up to 55, more men than women suffer from high blood pressure. Research shows that foods rich in potassium can reduce the risk of hypertension and stroke. This evidence was so convincing that the Food and Drug Administration recently gave permission for that food labels carry the legend that the relationship between a diet rich in potassium and blood pressure. “There is no daily requirement of potassium,” said Kathleen Cappellano, manager of information about nutrition at Tufts University in Boston. “A desired amount is about 2000 milligrams or more per day.” Watermelon, a rich source of this mineral, has more potassium (664 milligrams) in a large piece of banana or a cup of orange juice. So cut another slice and enjoy the fresh taste.

“The disease is extremely rare and represents 1% of urological malignancy affecting humans. But, the frequency may be increased in areas with high levels of rural, low socioeconomic status and hygiene habits is very dangerous”, he said the doctor.

“Although this is an injury that appears in the visible region does not understand why patients come late diagnosis, with the injury which has in excess of years of evolution and what motivates them, sometimes the most radical application treatments to eradicate the disease, such as loss of total members.

He explained that cancer is a carcinoma of the skin of the penis and usually comes from the gland, but also can have their start in the foreskin or shaft of the penis, forming ulcers.

The most common symptoms of genital lesions may be on the penis, and probably painless ulcer bleeding and pain in the leg when the disease has advanced.

Prevention

According to doctors, circumcision may help to reduce the risk, but these people must have, from an early age, the habit of cleanliness in the area that lies beneath the foreskin.

Practice good personal hygiene and sex using condoms and limiting sexual partners to avoid infection by the human papillomavirus (HPV), can reduce the risk of developing this cancer.

A self-examination can detect the presence of any growth or tumor on the penis.

“It is well known that women generally live about two to three years longer than men. This is mainly because since adolescence or young adulthood, women are closer to the doctors, “he said.
However, he said, there is still much to do in each of the stages of life, as there are conditions that significantly affect females. Although there is good news as the fact that the incidence of cervical cancer has decreased 45% in the last decade, the number of cases of breast cancer has increased considerably, according to figures from the Ministry of Health.

Illescas said he also is well known that there is an extensive list of diseases unique to women, however, data are those that directly affect the Mexican, therefore, physicians must work with our patients in preventing in these diseases.
According to specialists in the field, there are five conditions which Mexican women are prey.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women over 25 years, according to official figures from the Ministry of Health. Some factors predisposing to their occurrence are: having presented menarche before age 12, live 55 years past menopause, first pregnancy after age 30, hormonal contraceptive use, family history and breast density established.

The doctor indicated that cervical cancer is the second leading cause of death in Mexican women. However, there is no reason to panic, as it is 100% curable if detected early. No doubt there are many factors that can be considered at risk for disease development. The most important of these is infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), but other agents include early onset of sexual life, multiple sexual partners who become risk partners, hormonal contraceptive use, smoking and obesity.
He indicated that this condition is detected through Pap smears and colposcopy at least once a year after the onset of sexual activity.

He also mentioned that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women over 50 years. Many of them attend after suffering the first heart attack, most often the result of long and silent diseases such as arteriosclerosis and hypertension. After 50 years, a significant decrease hormonal factor that favors the increase of triglycerides and cholesterol, which in many cases combined with other complications such as smoking and obesity.

He added that osteoporosis is a disease that attacks the bones, characterized by low bone mass that makes the patient more susceptible to fractures. For women the process of bone loss accelerates at menopause and in old age the odds are equal for both men and women. The most common manifestations include pain, deformity, decreased height and curvature of the spine. Among the factors that predispose the occurrence of the disease are: smoking, alcoholism, low calcium intake, prolonged immobilization, coffee and cola, low weight, estrogen deficiency, recurrent falls and inadequate physical activity, he concluded.

How detects cancer of the cervix?
Early detection of cervical cancer is through a Pap test. A Pap test as part of a gynecological exam helps detect abnormal cells in the lining of the cervix before they can become precancerous or cervical cancer. The results of a Pap test can help doctors decide if further testing is necessary  or treat.
can treat Cervical Cancer?
Like other cancers, cervical cancer can be treated in several ways. Some aspects that a doctor considers before choosing a treatment include
• The size of the cancer and whether it has spread
• The age and general health of women
· Patient Preferences
The 3 methods of treating cervical cancer are surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Treatment may include 2 or more of these methods. The treatment plan also included specific follow-up visits with the doctor. These follow-up visits may include x-rays, biopsies, blood tests and other examinations.
Since people are unique, each person responds differently to treatment. The treatment that is right for one person may not be for someone else. The doctor will check all the risks and side effects of the best options to treat cervical cancer.

What can I do to  reduce the chances of suffering

The best way to decrease the chances of cervical cancer is early detection through Pap. Precancerous cervical cells (and even some cancers) can be treated successfully if detected early, before they can spread.
Between 60% and 80% of U.S. women newly diagnosed with cervical cancer is not invasive had had a Pap test within 5 years before diagnosis and many of them never had undergone one.
Therefore we recommend that you follow your doctor’s recommendations on Pap tests, which can help detect suspicious cell changes in the cervix before they become cáncer.Su doctor can also teach other ways to decrease the chances of cancer of the cervix.
The cervix cancer dangers life, but you can reduce the risk of autism. Know the relationship between cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV), genital warts, abnormal cervical cells, and other consequences in the other sections of this site. For more information, consult your doctor.

Women with cervical cancer can be treated with surgery, radiation or chemotherapy or a combination thereof.

Surgery. Treats cancer in the cervix and the area near the tumor. The doctor removes the cervix and uterus (total hysterectomy), although some patients require other radical hysterectomy which removes the uterus, cervix and part of the vagina, also removed the lymph nodes near the tumor to see if they have cancer.

Radiation. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill cancer cells.

Chemotherapy. Medications are used to kill cancer cells, often this is combined with radiation therapy when the cancer has spread to other organs.

The biopsy helps determine the stage of Cervical Cancer, which tells us if the tumor has invaded other areas and are classified as follows:

Stage 0. The cancer is found only in the uppermost layer of cells in the tissue that defines the cervix. It is also called carcinoma in situ.

Stage I. Cancer invades the cervix only.

Stage II. Cancer extends into the cervix and nearby tissues such as the vagina.

Stage III. Cancer extends to the bottom of the vagina, may also spread to the pelvic wall and lymph node

Stage IV. Cancer invades the bladder, rectum and other body parts.

Recurrent. Cancer is one that has been treated but continues to grow, may appear in the cervix or elsewhere in the body.
