Is there any way a woman with cervical cancer can have a baby?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You need to discuss this with your doctor. It really depends on what has to be done to get rid of the cancer. I had a cold conization procedure and my doctor said that if I were to get pregnant I may need some minor surgery to build in support for the baby as it grows. I guess it depends on how much needs to be removed. Good luck. Do feel free to talk to your doctor about any questions you may have.

do you have combined vaginal/rectal cancer and did your cancer spread to your lymph nodes.you say stage 4 but in order to accurately answer this would need to know the above.as a general answer you would usually have a course of combined chemo an radio therapy to reduce tumor size and then surgery to remove the infected area to prevent recurrence and or further metastases.if your tumor is small with no lymph involvement you may just need surgery...all cancers types and stages are different an therefore the best person to answer this for you is your treating doctor,GP or oncologist.

No, not with any significant degree of confidence. That's why many countries have a very vigorous screening protocol using the Papanicolaou (pap) smear, which allows health professionals to monitor for microscopic changes of cervical cells that suggest that cancer might be brewing.

Do tampons cause cancer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no direct evidence to support the idea that tampons cause cancer, however many brands of tampons are bleached with chlorine or oxygen gas bleaching which creates the byproduct of dioxin - dioxin is a cancer-causing toxin, repeated exposure can increase risk of certain reproductive health problems and cancers. It is thus advisable to opt for non-bleached cotton tampons, or consider safer options such as sponges, non-bleached cotton pads, cloth pads, menstrual cups or softcups.

If it's related to pregnancy, you'll be cured when you deliver. But know that a clear or white vaginal discharge is a normal, daily part of life as a women. The discharge disappears after menopause. At that point, some women find the lack of discharge makes the genital so uncomfortable that they buy artificial vaginal fluid at the store so they aren't itchy and sore. If your discharge has an odor, off-color, or comes with itching, get a check up.

Can missed periods cause cervical cancer?

Asked by Wiki User

You can. But sometimes patients do not. A classic sign of cervical cancer is uncontrolled/abnormal uterine bleeding. That means the patient would not know if they are having their period or not due to the fact they have constant uterine bleeding.

Asked by Wiki User

This question requires a medical assessment of the person suffering these problems. That can be obtained from a Physician or perhaps a Physician's Assistant or Nurse. Anyone needing an answer to a question like this who does not have ready access to their own doctor should seek advice at a clinic or hospital emergency room. Never put any trust in medical answers to specific medical questions in a forum like this.

How can you get a cervical cancer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cervical cancer has multiple risk factors - not just one cause. The majority of cases do come from a sexually transmitted virus called HPV. Genital human papilloma virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). The virus infects the skin and mucous membranes. There are more than 40 HPV types that can infect the genital areas of men and women, including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), and anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, and rectum. You cannot see HPV. Most people who become infected with HPV do not even know they have it.

The other factors can include: multiple sex partners, smoking, weakened immune system, genetic factors, etc.

Cervical cancer often has no symptoms until it is more advanced. For this reason, it is important for women to get screened regularly for cervical cancer. (Pap Test)

Are cancer deaths always painful?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

CANCER..........PAINFUL PASSING??????

YEARS AGO, HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS didn't have a handle on PAIN MANAGEMENT. They finally got it together and realized that if someone was facing death from cancer, they didn't have to worry about them getting "hooked" on pain medication. Now, they focus on keeping the patient comfortable and pain free. Where they once were very conservative with medication like morphine, they are now quite liberal. Whether in a hospital, hospice or at home, training is provided for caregivers to give injections of potent painkillers, keeping the patient from suffering a painful death......<<>>

Answer

The above is an excellent post, but I just wanted to add that not all people with certain cancers die and none have to live with the pain. There are certain cancers that only need small treatments of Chemo or radiation while other cancers are more invasive and need more Chemo and radiation and thankfully the medical field (as the poster said above) is on the ball and in Canada we have legalized Marijuana to help the patient with nausea, pain, and getting them through the rough patches. Of course the above is true as far as a person facing death from cancer. Morphine is used liberally (small doses at first, but always giving more) and eventually it weakens the heart and causes death which is a God-send for those that are passing on from incurable cancer.

Answer

I hope it doesn't always kill you. Well I know this because my old friend's mom had cancer and she got better...

No, it doesn't always kill you. I'm a "new" survivor (1 yr.) but am in a class with people who are survivors of 10+ years!
