00:04In the video, we will discuss about cervical cancer.

00:08So what is cervical cancer?

00:10Cervical cancer is what is cervical cancer?

00:13Cervical cancer is what is the lower part of women's uterus is the lower part of the cervix.

00:17So that is the cervical cancer.

00:20So why we give more importance to the screening and diagnosis of cervical cancer?

00:25So cervical cancer, to begin with, it is the second most common cancer in Indian women.

00:32Cervical cancer, it is a preventable cancer in a way.

00:36Cervical cancer, about 95% is caused by a virus called human papilloma virus.

00:43So human papilloma virus infection can occur to any women in any age group.

00:51So to prevent cervical cancer, there are even vaccines available to prevent HPV infection

00:58and thereby preventing cervical cancer in the future.

01:02So cervical cancer, normally primary prevention by vaccination is possible.

01:08So primary prevention, secondary prevention is what is the case of a disease.

01:12This is the case of a disease that will prevent women from getting cervical cancer.

01:27It is called primary prevention.

01:30So secondary prevention, HPV infection has occurred.

01:33So women are screened like cervical cancer screening method, which is done by pap smear testing and HPV DNA testing.

01:43So in the test alarm, this is called secondary preventive methods where we diagnose women with early precancerous lesions.

01:53So cervical cancer in Edithikita, initially the disease starts with human papilloma virus infection.

02:00So in the human papilloma virus infection, cervical infection has occurred, cervical infection has occurred to be a persistent persistent infection.

02:08That is chronic, hormonal and the HPV infection, cervical infection has occurred to be about 15-20 years to become cervical cancer.

02:19So in the 15-20 years is the time where we can screen women for early precancerous changes.

02:27So what are precancerous?

02:28The treatment options are more and also the quality of life for the patient will be better if a cancer is diagnosed very early and treated appropriately.

02:47So in the cervical cancer, which is a very common cancer of women, is caused by HPV infection.

02:54That's why human papilloma virus infection is a human papilloma virus infection.

02:57So in the infection, avoid the vaccine to be able to avoid the vaccine, HPV vaccine.

03:03And in the vaccine, primary prevention of cervical cancer can be achieved.

03:08And this vaccine can be given to even young girls from 9 years of age.

03:13And the 9 to 15 years in the target, we are targeting young girls with the HPV vaccine.

03:28In the vaccine, side effects are not related to the menstrual cycles of the young women.

03:36So vaccine vaccine, younger women and screening in the middle age group and the older women.

03:44So coming to screening, when you have pap smear screening or HPV DNA testing, you can take the cervical screening test.

03:54So this is very important in primary and secondary prevention of cervical cancer.

04:08So, if we have the treatment of cervical cancer, we have the primary prevention of cervical cancer for primary prevention.

04:16That's why the vaccine is available in the beginning.

04:20It is a very important carry-home message of this video.

04:24And moreover, cervical cancer, our uterus is the lower part.

04:28That is, which is exposed to the vagina.

04:31That part is, normally, our patients have a cervical infection or chronic cervicitis.

04:39And if there are any symptoms, you have a doctor, you have to cancel.

04:44So, usually, periods in between, spotting.

04:48That's a light-lighter bleeding patients.

04:50And very important thing is,

05:18WHO has launched a campaign to eliminate cervical cancer.

05:23So, if we have cervical cancer in the 20-30,

05:28we are taking steps in the 20-30 in the 20-30 in the 20-30.

05:30We are taking steps, which includes HPV vaccination and cervical screening programs.

05:39So, cervical cancer can be eliminated with a target called a 90-70-90 target,

05:46which means 90% of the girls up to 15 years should be given HPV vaccine.

05:52And 70% of the women should be screened for cervical cancer.

05:57And 90% of the women with cervical cancer should approach the proper multidisciplinary team

06:04and the Institute for Proper Treatment of Cervical Cancer.
