Not to scare, but the facts show in Indonesia 37 women diagnosed with cervical cancer each day and an estimated 20 women die of cancer that attacks the cervix (cervical) is every day. But you need not worry because cervical cancer is the only cancer that can be prevented with vaccines. Female reproductive organs consist of the ovaries and uterus. The lowest part of the uterus is called the cervix or the cervix, and in direct contact with the vagina. "The organs of the female reproductive malignancy vulnerable by the disease, not just the cervix, but also breast, ovaries, and uterus as well," said dr.Adrian Setiawan, Sp.OG, of Siloam RS.MRCCC Jakarta.
Unfortunately, malignant disease is often asymptomatic. If any symptom is felt, is usually too late. Outside the menstrual bleeding can be a sign of health problems. "If diagnosed with cervical cancer, bleeding is usually a sign already stage four where the organs affected is vast. Expectancy small life," he said at a seminar on cervical cancer in Jakarta some time ago.
He added that, unlike other viral infections such as hepatitis that is often characterized by symptoms of fever, infection with HPV virus causes no symptoms because the cells are specifically attacked in the cervix. "This virus will bind to proteins in cells that usually destroy the virus," he said.
Cervical cancer is caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). According to Personal dr.Sigit, Sp.OG, HPV is a virus common and easily transmitted through genital contact. There are over 100 types of HPV are identified and generally harmless. Cervical cancer is caused by HPV types 16 and 18, 45 and 31. "Every woman can be infected with HPV during their lives. The development of a cancer too time consuming," said dr.Sigit active campaigning for the prevention of cervical cancer through the Prevention of Cervical Cancer Initiative Indonesia (IPKASI) this.
Because of the long course of their illness, can be 10-20 years, it would require an early detection program to find these cancers at an early stage through a Pap smear or VIA (visual inspection acetic acid). Pap smear and VIA, according dr.Sigit included in secondary prevention. Meanwhile, primary prevention of cervical cancer is to adopt a healthy lifestyle and HPV vaccination. The discovery of the HPV vaccine is an important discovery, because this long-awaited vaccine to reduce transmission of HPV infection is an important factor in the occurrence of cervical cancer.
Dr.Sigit explained, although HPV is caused by a virus, but due to the infected part is on the surface or epithelium, the viruses are not exposed to natural immunity. "Proverbial virus is there on the porch, while the immune system in the house. Therefore, antibodies should be sought in order to soldiers is also located on the terrace, the way to do the vaccination," said one faculty member in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia this.
HPV vaccine work the same pattern as other vaccines. Someone with HPV were given injections of the vaccine, the body responds, and the body to form antibodies. These antibodies will then reject high-risk HPV though. Vaccination is performed for three times, the second injection two months later since the first vaccine is injected, and injected the third vaccination at six months.
Women are prone to need screening for cervical cancer are those aged 35-50 years. "About 9 out of 10 women who are infected with this virus occurred in the age of 50 years," said dr.Adrian.
Nevertheless, even young women who become targets of HPV vaccination. In developed countries, entered the age of 10 years is usually the daughter was vaccinated with HPV. Consideration, the average woman starts having sex at age 20. The vaccine will enhance the ability of the body's immune system to recognize and destroy the virus when it enters the body before infection occurs.
Those who have been vaccinated does not mean free of cancer. They still have to meet health care for cervical cancer screening. There are three reasons why it is still a need Pap smears regularly. First, the vaccine does not protect against all types of HPV cause cervical cancer. Second, it may not get adequate dose or get it at the right time, so maybe they do not receive the full benefits of the vaccine.
When, they also do not get full benefit from vaccination if they had already infected with HPV types included in the vaccine. Although the HPV vaccine has been available in Indonesia since 2007, but this vaccine has not been popular. One problem is that the price is relatively expensive. However, compared with the expenditure to be incurred to treat the disease, the actual cost is not much.
Therefore, do not wait for tomorrow to protect themselves from cancer by vaccination and early detection. Thus, we can help ourselves to avoid the threat of cervical cancer.
