Cancer Prevention

There are many different types of gynaecologic cancer, each with its own causes and risk factors. However, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of getting cancer.

• Cancer Screening For Women
• Gynaecologic Cancer Prevention:
  • Lifestyle Changes
  • Avoid tobacco: Studies have linked tobacco use to gynaecologic cancer, so quitting smoking can help you lower your risk.
  • Diet and exercise: Your diet should be rich in fruit and vegetables. Eat high fat foods sparingly. In addition, try to get 30 minutes of exercise every day.
• Early Detection:
  Most women with cervical precancerous lesions report no symptoms, so it is important to get regular screenings before symptoms are present.
• PAP Smear, three yearly after age of 21 year
• HPV testing, three yearly after age of 30 years
• Colposcopy
  It is a type of minimally invasive cervical cancer test. Colposcopy is a way of looking at the cervix through a special magnifying device called a colposcope. A colposcope can greatly enlarge the normal view. This exam allows to find problems that cannot be seen by the eye alone. It’s a quick and easy way to find cell changes in your cervix that may turn into cancer.
• Vaccination for cervical cancer
• Breast Examination and awareness
• Sonomammography
