What is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer is a sort of malignant growth that happens in the cells of the cervix - the lower part of the uterus that interfaces with the vagina. It is known to be the most common type of gynaecological cancer, and is virtually always caused by the human papillomavirus. “Regular screening can help tremendously in case of necessity for treatment” says Dr. Yousuf Memon, Director and Oncosurgeon from Sanjeevani CBCC USA Cancer Hospital in Raipur.

 According to the American Cancer Society "Cervical cancer begins in the cells that line the cervix, which is the bottom section of the uterus (womb). The cervix connects the uterine body (the upper section of the uterus where a foetus grows) to the vagina (birth canal). Cancer develops when cells in the body begin to proliferate uncontrollably ."

 “Lack of awareness related to cervical cancer is one of the main reason behind the frequent cases of cervical cancer in India” explains Dr. Memon. Lets learn about the 10 warning signs of Cervical Cancer to reduce your chances of developing the disease.
