Last June, the company organized a physical examination. Xue Xiaoning, who has never had a cervical examination, added cervical items under the doctor’s advice, but she did not expect to be found to be HPV52 positive!
At that time, she knew nothing about the HPV virus and thought she had “cervical cancer” by searching the Internet.
Actually, having HPV does not equal cervical cancer.
The process of cervical cancer formation
Xue Xiaoning did not know,Women have an 80% chance of being infected with HPV in their lifetime, most of which are naturally cleared by the immune system within 2 years. She doesn’t know the extent of her cervical disease. She only knows that she still wants to get married, to go to the beach with her boyfriend for a honeymoon, and to have a lovely baby in the future…
Looking back at her chat records at the time, there was fear and worry between the lines.
In the hospital, Xue Xiaoning did TCT cervical cancer prevention examination and colposcopy biopsy pathology. The results showed that the cervical endothelium had lesions.
Surgery or Conservative Medication? In front of her are two choices.
In the beginning, Xue Xiaoning, who was lucky, chose conservative treatment with drugs. However, the re-examination after 3 months showed that the condition of the cervix not only did not improve, but the lesions progressed.
Xue Xiaoning was frightened, and immediately gave up conservative treatment and went to Shanghai for medical treatment. In the following days, she kept running between Zhejiang and Shanghai, and under the advice of Shanghai experts, she performed a visualization laser surgery.
When she had the second surgery, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the condition of the cervix had improved significantly, the white spots were much less, and her abdominal pain and abnormal leucorrhea were also much better. But her HPV diseaseThe poison has not yet turned negative.
Xue Xiaoning prays every day that the HPV virus turns negative. She worked hard to change her living habits-
Eat lightly, go to bed early and get up early;
Bought a treadmill to run 5 kilometers a day;
I even gave up my favorite spicy hot pot and barbecue…
The plus sign on the
reportable form has not changed.
Later, under the advice of experts, she went to vaccinate against 9-valent cervical cancer vaccine to prevent herself from contracting other types of HPV.
She has also gained a lot of experience in the treatment of cervical lesions.
Xue Xiaoning also joined a public welfare group to share knowledge about HPV virus with everyone and exchange experience in cervical lesions treatment.
This is the biggest illness she has ever had in her life. She didn’t know the value of health before, she stayed up late every day to eat spicy food, but in the future, she said:
Expert Reviews:
To be honest, Xue Xiaoning’s illness was not irreversible, but the panic she caused was like a boulder, overwhelming her breath. And there are many women infected with HPV like her.
