Do not be entangled for Cervical Cancer Until Debt

The issue of getting cervical cancer warm lately. How not, in Indonesia, every hour a woman died of cervical cancer. No wonder Cervical Cancer Women’s Care (PPKS, which was under Indonesian Cancer Foundation) feel the need to further increase awareness about this deadly disease. Even PPKS a free pap smear program for 2000 women in Greater Jakarta.

Every woman has a risk for cervical cancer, regardless of social conditions, economic, status, and age. Cervical cancer cases is very high, due to lack of awareness of women to do early detection.

”They might feel scared, or feel they have no symptoms of cervical cancer and just wait, so now known to have advanced stage,’’said Chief II, Dr. Mellisa S YKI Luwia, SpBP
Ignorance is usually caused by cervical cancer did not show specific symptoms. As already entered an advanced stage, sufferers must undergo a series of treatment is not cheap. In fact, from many cases, women are generally affected in the productive age (either housewives or working).

As an illustration only, the cost of medication and therapy or pre-cancerous cervical cancer (including surgery or hysterectomy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, colposcopy, and biopsy) will spend approximately USD 60 million. That’s not including medical expenses after the treatment, and costs for routine consultations after the escape from cancer. Meanwhile, the costs required for the prevention of cervical cancer by early detection (secondary prevention) is to perform a pap smear or VIA (visual inspection with acetic acid) on a regular basis. If you have this disease, certain people with medical expenses fallen so much, and this often caused a burden to the patient or his family.

Hence”extension program is expected to be more awareness of women to immediately take action to prevent cervical cancer. Because every woman at risk of cervical cancer, whereas cervical cancer is preventable,”explained Dr. Mellisa.

To find out if we have the seeds of cervical cancer, pap smear is necessary more than once (once a year). In the first pap smear viruses that invade the uterus may not yet seen. After the second examination it is (next year, RED) just obvious. Therefore, routine pap smear examination should be done every year. In addition to the pap smear, cervical cancer can be prevented by vaccination which is now more affordable price.

How about you, whether you are undergoing routine Pap smears? You can just visit your gynecologist in practice for this examination.

Outside womb can pregnant Leads to deaths

Pregnancy which occurs outside the womb in medical terms is called an ectopic pregnancy. This condition occurs when a fertilized egg grows attached and outside the pouch uteri endometrium or uterus. Pregnancy should be stopped so as not to endanger the life of the mother.

Ectopic pregnancy is different with the extra uterine pregnancy. Uterine extra pregnancy occurs outside the pouch uteri, but still in the womb. However, the extra pregnancy uterine also said to be ectopic.

If you look at the location, approximately 95-98 percent of ectopic pregnancies are tubal. The rest occurred in the uterus, ovaries (ovarian), abdominal cavity primary and secondary, as well as combinations of pregnancy. Combinations when pregnancy is called an ectopic pregnancy and intra uterin occur simultaneously.

Ectopic pregnancy occurs mainly due to transportation disruptions cell fertilized egg from the fallopian tubes (fallopian tubes) into the cavity of the uterus, as well as the existence of a fertilized ovum abnormalities.

Ectopic pregnancy occurs in 1 in 50 pregnancies and is one of the biggest causes of maternal death in the first trimester of pregnancy. Lack of early detection and treatment after an ectopic pregnancy is known to be a big contributor to maternal mortality.

Therefore, if a mother had an ectopic pregnancy, should be ended quickly given the risks. If the egg keeps growing and large in the fallopian tubes, one tube will rupture and cause heavy bleeding, and result in death.

Similar to normal pregnant
There are a number of factors that can cause ectopic pregnancy, although pregnancy can be experienced by women without risk factors. Factors included the disruption of transportation of conception, hormonal disorders, and the cause is still debated.

Transport disruption due to the conceptus can pelvic inflammatory, the use of an intrauterine device, tubal lumen narrowing due to tumor, surgery on post tubal microsurgery, as well as abortion or miscarriage events.

Hormone disorders can occur due to induction of ovulation, in vitro fertilization, the late fertile period, and ovum transport. As for the cause is still debated is endometriosis, birth defects, chromosomal abnormalities, sperm quality is not excellent.

Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy is not bothered as pregnancy can nomial, ie late period, nausea, morning sickness, and others. If the physical examination will be found rnernbesar uterus and tumors in the stomach. Also appears classical triad, ie can not menstruating, vaginal bleeding, and abdominal pain.

While the ectopic pregnancy is disrupted, symptoms can appear as ectopic pregnancies that have not been disturbed, but with symptoms of acute abdomen due to rupture of ectopic pregnancy. And usually appears in the form of hypovolaemic hemodynamic disturbance or reduction in circulatory volume due to hemorrhage.

Better issued
If an ectopic pregnancy is detected, though not yet broken (not disturbed ectopic pregnancy), recommended for expulsion. There is no point in the fetus grows in the wrong place.

The fetus would not be developed until the age of nine months. In a few weeks of age, the “breeding” can be broken. And when this happens, bleeding can occur in the stomach. These conditions would be very dangerous to the mother’s life.

General handling of ectopic pregnancy conducted by laparatomi (operations). In certain cases, can use  methotrexate.
Given the risk of fatal mother could bear, do not underestimate the symptoms in women of childbearing age with symptoms late period (positive urine test results), vaginal bleeding, and pain in the abdominal area. Be examined by a gynecologist.
