Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer occurs in the cells of the cervix and is primarily caused by persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Regular screenings and HPV vaccinations are essential for prevention. Risk factors include multiple sexual partners, smoking, a weakened immune system, and long-term use of oral contraceptives.
Treatment options depend on the stage and type of cancer and may involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Lifestyle changes and a balanced diet can aid in recovery and overall well-being.
Regular follow-ups, managing treatment side effects, and seeking support from healthcare providers and support groups are essential aspects of managing cervical cancer.
Supplements such as Folate, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Selenium play roles in DNA repair and immune function, while Green Tea Extract has anti-cancer properties. It is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any supplementation.
