Introduction
Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor originating in the cervical epithelial cells, primarily caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. If a patient has multiple sexual partners or excessive deliveries, the defensive function within the vagina may be compromised. Once immunity is weakened, HPV can enter the body and trigger the development of cervical cancer.
High-grade cervical lesions indicate the presence of precancerous changes in the cervix, representing an increased risk of developing cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor originating in the cervical epithelial cells, primarily caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Having multiple sexual partners or excessive childbirths may compromise the vagina's natural defense mechanisms. When immunity is weakened, HPV can more easily invade the body and trigger cervical cancer. Once HPV infects the cervical epithelial cells, it causes pathological changes locally, leading to abnormal proliferation of soft tissues, which may result in high-grade cervical lesions. If not treated promptly, these lesions may progress continuously, increasing the likelihood of developing cervical cancer. Patients are advised to visit a hospital for appropriate examinations to assess the severity of their condition. Lesions can be removed via procedures such as cervical conization, followed by adjuvant therapy based on postoperative recovery.
In daily life, individuals should maintain good personal hygiene, avoid high-risk sexual behaviors, and schedule regular follow-up visits at the hospital.
