Cervical Cancer Awareness & Care at Nawjiwan Hospital: Early Detection Saves Lives

At Nawjiwan Hospital, we are deeply committed to promoting women’s health through prevention, early diagnosis, and expert treatment of cervical cancer. As one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer when detected early, raising awareness and providing timely care is at the heart of our gynecological services.

What is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer occurs in the cells of the cervix—the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is primarily caused by persistent infection with high-risk strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted virus. Most HPV infections resolve on their own, but in some cases, the virus can cause abnormal cell changes that may develop into cancer over time.

Who is at Risk?

All women are at risk for cervical cancer, especially:

  • Women aged 30 and above
  • Those with a history of HPV infection
  • Women who smoke
  • Individuals with a weakened immune system
  • Those with poor access to regular screenings

Regular screening and HPV vaccination are key to reducing this risk significantly.

Signs and Symptoms

In its early stages, cervical cancer often shows no symptoms, which is why regular screening is so important. As the disease progresses, symptoms may include:

  • Abnormal vaginal bleeding (especially after intercourse or between periods)
  • Foul-smelling vaginal discharge
  • Pelvic or lower back pain
  • Pain during intercourse

If you experience any of these symptoms, we urge you to seek medical attention promptly.

Screening and Prevention at Nawjiwan Hospital

At Nawjiwan Hospital, we offer a comprehensive cervical cancer screening program which includes:

  • Pap Smear Tests: To detect abnormal cell changes in the cervix.
  • HPV Testing: To identify high-risk types of HPV that may lead to cancer.
  • Colposcopy: A closer examination of the cervix for abnormal areas, if Pap results are unclear.

We also promote HPV vaccination for girls and young women, ideally before they become sexually active, as a powerful preventive tool.

Diagnosis and Treatment

If cervical cancer is diagnosed, our multidisciplinary team—including gynecologic oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists—creates a personalized treatment plan. Treatment options may include:

  • Surgery: Removal of cancerous tissue or the entire cervix and uterus (hysterectomy), depending on the stage.
  • Radiation Therapy: To destroy cancer cells.
  • Chemotherapy: Often used in combination with radiation for advanced stages.

At Nawjiwan Hospital, we use advanced imaging, minimally invasive surgery, and the latest medical protocols to provide effective, compassionate care.
