Therefore, it is suggested the women to perform a pap smear test at least 2 years, IVA test (visual inspection with acetic acid, etc. Although difficult to detect, but the following characteristics could be a clue to the woman whether he was suffering from cancer symptoms cervical or not:

During intercourse as feeling pain, often followed bleeding.
Experiencing abnormal vaginal discharge accompanied by bleeding and the amount of excess.
Often feel pain in the pelvic region.
Experiencing pain during urination.

However, if you already detected cervical cancer, then there are several methods of treatment that can be done. If cervical cancer is detected early, the treatment is done by eliminating cervical cancer is by way of surgery, laser surgery well, electricity or by freezing and dispose of cervical cancer tissue (cyrosurgery)

For advanced cervical cancer cases will be treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy way, but if it is detected severe enough, is nothing else but to remove the uterus (hysterectomy) thoroughly so that cancer does not develop. JilatangSumbar 13:29 Admin Bandung Indonesia

There What type Ovarian Cancer?

There are three main types of ovarian tumors that lead to ovarian cancer are the type of epithelial tumors, germ cell tumors, and tumor stroma. Epithelial tumor is a tumor that starts from cells that cover the outer surface of the ovary. In germ cell tumors, the development starts from cells that produce eggs (stem cells).

While the latter starts stromal tumor of the cells involved in the production of female hormones. More than 90% of ovarian cancers are epithelial cancers, the rest is a germ cell tumor (2-3%) and stromal tumor (5-6%).

Microscopic approximately 90% of ovarian cancers derived from epithelial koelomik that normally lines the surface of the ovary. The surface layer is multipotential and can differentiate into epithelial Mullerian and other types, including type of endometrial, endocervical, tubal, and intestinal, which may help explain the wide variation of epithelial tumors were observed.

Therefore, surface epithelial tumors are classified according to the type of cells and stratified as benign, borderline, and malignant based on cellular proliferation, nuclear atypia, and stromal invasion. This classification is important to plan the best treatment strategy and to define the prognosis of the disease.

Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer

There are some common symptoms that can be easily recognized. If the common symptoms are known to the woman, then the treatment can be more quickly and the opportunity to recover a larger patient.

What is an ovarian cancer? Ovarian cancer is a malignancy that attacks the ovaries (ovaries) in women.

Cancer tubafalopii (the tube that connects the uterus and ovaries) and cancer of the peritoneum (abdominal cavity) primary ekstraovarium included in ovarian cancer because biological and clinical characteristics resembling ovarian cancer, although both are very rare.

How is the development of ovarian cancer incidence rates today? The incidence of ovarian cancer is slowly increasing in many developed countries in the past two decades.

Reported and 28.7% of all gynecologic cancers (female reproductive organs) occurs in developed countries and 18.8% in developing countries. The highest incidence rates are found in developed countries, with an average of 10 per 100,000, except in Japan (6.4 per 100,000).

Incident in South America (7.7 per 100,000) is relatively high when compared with the incidence in Asia and Africa. Yes, developed countries accounted for half of the total number of ovarian cancer worldwide.

Around the world, there are 204,000 women diagnosed and 125,000 of them died from the disease. From these figures, 90-95% due to the type of epithelial ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is currently ranked as the fifth leading cause of death in women due to cancer (Jemal, 2007).

Treatment of ovarian cancer is mainly done with surgery, followed by platinum-based chemotherapy. However, often times causing clinical remission and to date 80% of patients will experience a recurrence that often lead to progression (worsening) of disease and ends with death.

Ovarian Cancer Life Expectancy

The life expectancy of patients with ovarian cancer is influenced by several factors. The main thing is the extent of the spread of disease at diagnosis is made by means of surgery (surgical staging).

In general, the life expectancy of patients with ovarian cancer also depend on factors such as low grade or stage, well-differentiated tumors, the general status of the patient well, and younger age.

These factors are categorized as favorable factors. Meanwhile, poor prognostic factors include the type of clear cell and serous histologic, advanced stage, the presence of ascites, suboptimal debulking, high stage, and older age. JilatangSumbar 13:15 Admin Bandung Indonesia

Maintaining a healthy weight throughout your life is proven to maintain health. You can calculate the BMI or Body Mass Index by means of weight (in kilograms) divided by height in meters quadrant, has been shown to significantly if the increase in BMI (more than normal 25) will increase the risk of breast cancer. In addition, and an increase in BMI has been convincingly shown to increase the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer.

2. Avoid alcohol

The use of alcohol is the most established for breast cancer. Health studies show consuming more than one alcoholic drink a day can increase the risk of breast cancer as much as 20-25 percent.

3. Eat fruits and vegetables

Eat seven or more servings of vegetables and fruit every day.

6. Consumption of carbohydrates according servings

Is your carbs right? Minimize consumption of high glycemic index is white rice, white potatoes, sugar and products processed from rice, potatoes and sugar. These foods trigger hormonal changes that promote cell growth in breast tissue. Replace this your carbohydrates with whole grains and beans / legumes. Nuts for high fiber and lignan content are mainly specialized.

7. Consuming soy products

Regularly consume soy products such as tofu, tempe and soy milk. Epidemiological studies have shown a positive association between soy consumption and breast cancer risk reduction.

8. Minimize exposure to pharmacologic estrogens and xeno-estrogens.

Do not take prescription estrogens unless medically indicated. Lifetime exposure to estrogen plays an important role in the development of breast cancer. Also avoid estrogen-like compounds found in environmental pollutants, such as pesticides and industrial chemicals. It is recommended to use organic products if you can not avoid it then wash the non-organic products correctly.

As already mentioned in the brief description above, that the cause of the inflammation or inflammation of the brain is due to a viral infection. Some examples of viruses that can cause infection in the brain is the herpes simplex virus (the virus that causes cold sores and genital herpes), varicella zoster virus (the virus that causes chickenpox), mumps virus, measles virus and influenza virus. In general, this virus viruses cause diseases such as genital herpes, skin rash, runny nose, and others. But sometimes the virus can travel to the brain in the bloodstream and invade the brain, causing encephalitis.

In some cases, meningitis or encephalitis can occur after being bitten by insects such as mosquitoes, also sometimes occur due to encephalitis occur after the rabies virus infection bitten by animals such as dogs. In minor cases, encephalitis is also caused by bacteria.

Factors that also affect the occurrence of brain inflammation encephalitis know is the condition of the immune system or the immune system of a person. People who have a weak immune system will be more easily infected with the virus. A weakened immune system is not able to resist the attack of some viruses.

Differences Encephalitis and Miningitis

Although both equally occur because of inflammation, encephalitis and meningitis have differences. Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges). This is usually caused by a bacterial or viral infection. While trade encephalitis occurs in the brain itself and is generally caused by a virus. Sometimes between encephalitis and meningitis will occur at the same time. Such condition is called meningoencephalitis (meningoencephalitis).

Symptoms of brain inflammation (encephalitis)

As has been described above ingkta, that the symptoms in patients with inflammatory disease of the brain (encephalitis) has some similarities with the diseases caused by viral infections in general. Patients will usually have symptoms of fever, headache, muscle nyari, fatigue, and nausea and vomiting. In addition, patients may also experience muscle weakness or even paralysis. If the disease continues to grow patient will lose consciousness and suffered a seizure.

Care And Treatment of brain inflammation (encephalitis)

People who are experienced with suspected encephalitis usually in an emergency should be hospitalized. Your doctor will provide medical antiviral drugs. Anti-viral drug that is often used is acyclovir. Antiviral drugs are usually effective in treating brain inflammation caused by herpes simplex virus, and may be less effective if the inflammation of the brain caused by other viruses. This medication is usually given immediately if the patient is suspected of having encephalitis without waiting for the results of the diagnosis.

In addition to providing antiviral drugs, antibiotics may also be given, especially at the beginning of treatment. This is because, without test results, it may be difficult to distinguish between encephalitis and meningitis caused by bacteria. JilatangSumbar 16:13 Admin Bandung Indonesia
