CERVICAL CANCER AWARENESS

WHAT IS CERVICAL CANCER

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, yet it remains one of the most common causes of death for women.
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, with an estimated 604,000 new cases and 342,000 deaths annually.
Nearly 90% of new cases and deaths worldwide occur in low- and middle-income countries.

Women living with HIV are 6 times more likely to develop cervical cancer compared to women without HIV.
Vaccination against HPV and screening and treatment of pre-cancer lesions is a cost-effective way to prevent cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer can be cured if diagnosed at an early stage and treated promptly.

Signs and Symptoms
Early-stage cervical cancer generally produces no signs or symptoms but may include:

Irregular blood spotting or light bleeding between periods in women of reproductive age
Postmenopausal spotting or bleeding
Bleeding after s*xual in*******se
Increased vaginal discharge, sometimes foul smelling

Many women wait too long to seek medical help or may not have easy access to care. As cervical cancer advances, more severe symptoms may appear including:

persistent back, leg or pelvic pain
weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite
foul-smell discharge and vaginal discomfort
swelling of a leg or both lower extremities

Prevention & Screening
Prevention

Studies show that the HPV vaccine reduced the incidence of cervical cancer by 90% among vaccinated women compared with unvaccinated women. The HPV vaccine is safe. Over 12 years of vaccine safety monitoring and more than 160 studies have shown that HPV vaccines have a favorable safety profile, including no impacts on future fertility for girls who are vaccinated. HPV vaccines work best if delivered prior to exposure to the virus. The World Health Organization recommends vaccinating girls aged 9–14, when most have not started s*xual activity.

*OUTBREAK OF CONJUCTIVITIS (APOLO)*

To avoid contacting the current outbreak of conjuctivitis generally known as *APOLO,* we strongly advise parents to give their wards daily dose of VITAMIN-C for the next one week or period.
Isolate any child or staff in contact with it.

*PREVENTING CONJUNCTIVITIS or APOLLO*

This season is also usually associated with outbreaks of CONJUNCTIVITIS, also known as Apollo.

Children in school and at play are the most vulnerable, but adults also fall prey to these conditions. This is even more important if you work in an open office, take public transport, or generally come in contact with a lot of people in the course of your day.

To improve your immunity and ward off infections before they get to you, the following steps are useful:

1. Make sure your children and wards constantly wash their hands especially when they return from school.

2. Increase you and your child’s water intake. Drink a minimum of 2 litres daily.

3. Deworm the children and yourself if you have not done so yet.

4. Increase the intake of greens and vegetables in your meals.

5. Eat appropriately but moderately.

6. Reduce how much junk food and carbonated drinks you consume.

7. Dress children warmly to suit the weather.

8. If a child does fall sick, do not send the child to school or otherwise expose them and run the risk of infecting others.

STAY SAFE

°Back and foot massages can help ease stress and aches as the pregnancy goes on.
