Early detection of tumor treatment for patients with very large significance, the clinical in the hospital, many in the early detection of malignant tumors can be completely cured, or a good prognosis, such as cervical cancer, its development process as long as 10 years, As long as early detection, aggressive treatment intervention, it is not difficult to cure.

As a result of a variety of reasons, women susceptible to tumor-specific, then how does the early detection of gynecologic cancer? Please pay attention to the signal to bring you the following message:

(1) tumors: reproductive organs can be grown in any part of. I generally found by chance. Masses even in the absence of any of these symptoms, is an abnormal phenomenon, most of the tumor length.

(2) abnormal vaginal discharge: Under normal circumstances, endometrial, cervical and vaginal secretions of endometrial exudate formation leucorrhea generally has very few, and change with the menstrual cycle. When the female genital tract tumor, tumor necrosis occur, rupture, can occur in water samples, blood samples leucorrhea and rice soup, such as the merger of infection may not have the smell. Leucorrhea abnormalities may be cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, or fallopian tube cancer performance.

(3), menstrual change: When the uterus such as uterine fibroid tumor growth, endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, choriocarcinoma may appear abnormal menstruation, including excessive menstrual cycle disorders loss of the law, the duration of the extension period, dripping bleeding. Certain tumors such as ovarian granulosa cell tumor, theca cell tumors can secrete estrogen, menstrual cycle disturbance, caused by abnormal menstruation.

(4) postmenopausal bleeding: in the first year of amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding sometimes once in a while. If more than 1 year-menopausal vaginal bleeding and is referred to as postmenopausal bleeding. Many reasons for bleeding after menopause, the majority of cases are caused by benign disease, but cervical cancer can not be ignored, the possibility of endometrial cancer, although the amount of bleeding sometimes does not.

(5) abdominal pain: torsion of ovarian tumor, rupture or infection, submucous myoma uterus from the cervix myoma degeneration or prolapse, can cause more severe lower abdominal pain.

(6) changes in diet and urine: performance of ovarian cancer may be only the first abdominal distention, and gastrointestinal symptoms, tumor suppression or violations of the bladder and rectum can cause urinary frequency, dysuria, and so constipated. When the above symptoms, the patient should be treated promptly, can not endure the light because of the symptoms and delay treatment of the negative result observed. However, we should also know that these symptoms are not specific to tumors, most of them are still caused by benign disease, patients do not have to worry too much about it.

(A) infection and suppuration: Department of infections fibroid tumor or torsion of the consequences of acute endometritis, blood-borne infections are extremely rare. Infection can sometimes purulent, a small number of cases in tumor tissue abscess formation.

Subserosal leiomyoma after torsion intestinal adhesion, may be subject to bacterial infections, inflammation of the uterine fibroid with Annex adhesion, caused by suppurative inflammation.

Submucous myoma most prone to infection, often associated with acute post-abortion or postpartum endometritis coexist. Some obstetric curettage surgery or injury caused by surgery. Highlighted as a result of tumors or surgical trauma often coated tumor rupture, rupture of vulnerable after the collapse occurred rot. Often cause serious rot collapse irregular bleeding and fever. Corruption of debris from necrotic tissue due to loss of staining reaction, the results of microscopic examination can not be regular.

(B) reverse: subserosal myoma pedicle occurred in reverse, causing acute abdominal pain. In severe cases, tumor torsion surgery immediately or if not on its own back, it may be due to the formation of tumors and broken free pedicled myoma, such as the foregoing has been. The reverse can also bring the whole fibroid uterus, causing uterine torsion axis. Uterine position to reverse the multi-port tube in the vicinity of the cervix, but this rarely occurred more because of the larger myoma serosa attached to the uterine cervix at the bottom of the tube than the result of long and thin. Symptoms and signs of ovarian cyst with torsion tumor mass in the past to be just hard.

(C) merger hysteromyoma uterine body cancer: uterine leiomyoma uterine body cancer combined accounted for two percent, much lower than Hysteromyoma higher cervical cancer combined. Therefore, in patients with uterine fibroids menopause bleeding continued to be vigilant against any endometrial cancer at the same time. In determining the pre-treatment, curettage should be done.

(D) of uterine myoma with pregnancy.

Treatment of cervical erosion in the main local agents. Cervical erosion, or less if less inflammatory, and should adopt the local drug treatment, such as the local film or liquid polish Sticking to obtain better results. Local drug treatment as a result of the need for many, a longer course of treatment, and medical personnel must master to complete, so the patient is often difficult to adhere, to the extent that effect. At present, the clinic is more commonly used physical therapy, such as a perm, laser, freezing, microwave and infrared treatment. Physical therapy has two advantages: First, the shortest course of treatment is generally only treated once, shallow lesions 3 to 4 weeks to heal, deep lesions from 6 to 8 weeks is also curable. Second, the effect is better, a cure rate of 70% to 100%.

In general, a high cure rate of cervical erosion, particularly after physical therapy a higher cure rate, relapse is not easy. According to statistics, the relapse rate was only 0.4% ~ 0.5%. However, there are many patients not yet fully recovered after treatment, or cure after recurrence, the patient was very distressed. So, what is repeatedly causes cervical erosion happen? May be related to the following factors.

1. Older: According to statistics, women under 30 years of age, cervical erosion low relapse rate; the women over the age of 30, then a higher recurrence rate.

2. Severe lesions: the greater the area of cervical erosion, the higher relapse rate. Mild and moderate cervical erosion in women, a higher cure rate and low recurrence rate; severe cervical erosion in women, a lower cure rate, relapse rate was higher then.

3. Treatment does not completely: the laser, microwave, such as a perm or physical therapy, if treatment is too superficial or too limited, the Agency has not been completely undermine the erosion of the lesions, resulting in residual lesions, can cause relapse.

4. Repeated abortion: abortion, the cervical injury. If repeated abortion, the cervix is damaged on many occasions, which cervical erosion is also one of the reasons for relapse.

5. Suffering from sexually transmitted diseases: sexually transmitted diseases is increasing year by year in China, such as gonorrhea, genital chlamydia, condyloma, etc.. These pathogens can be invasive cervical epithelial cells, causing inflammation of the cervix, leading to cervical erosion.

6. Local immune abnormalities: Some people think that every sexual partner and sexual intercourse when the sperm into the bacteria, will play the role of a specific autoimmune violations. Cervical the ability of local immune response, with the increase in the number of sexual partners increased by direct proportion. In other words, there are too many extra-marital sex or sexual partners of women, also to the recurrence of cervical erosion.

Can be seen, in order to reduce the recurrence of cervical erosion, in patients with a doctor to do a good job in addition to actively cooperate with the periodic review, a thorough treatment, but also to avoid repeated abortion, extramarital sex, as well as prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.

Debate about the ideal age to retire has been going on for years. But with the U.S. economy in a dramatic slump, the flip side of that question — how old is too old to work? — has become uppermost in many people’s minds.

As workers young and old fret about dwindling retirement accounts in the wake of the mortgage crisis and stock market tumbles, they joke that they’ll have no choice but to work until they’re 90 or beyond.

But many also wonder: Will I be able to?

Research has offered some reassurances. Researchers have learned that there is no ideal retirement age and that older adults who keep their thinking skills sharp by learning new things off the job can stay more competitive in the job market, too.

“In today’s economy, it becomes more of a necessity than a luxury to keep working,” said Dr. Joseph Sirven, a professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz. The short answer to the question, “How old is too old to work?” is, Sirven said, “when you are not able to do the job.”

But there’s much you can do to prevent that from happening, he and other experts have found. “What we find now from research and a neurological perspective is [that] the secret to good aging is, you have to keep busy,” Sirven said. “Sometimes that means exercise, physical activity. But it means a lot of mental and cognitive activity” also, he said.

Today, Sirven said, older adults frequently retire from one career and transition into another — something that’s matched to their skills and experience and takes into account any age-related disadvantages.

His advice for people who plan to work well beyond the traditional retirement age of 65: “Focus on what work can you do that you can keep up with as you age.”

Take stock of your attributes and drawbacks: “You may not be the quickest or most agile,” Sirven said, “but you could be the wisest or the most experienced, which also counts.”

That wisdom might be doubly appreciated by co-workers, even younger ones, in our shaky economy, he said. Older workers, after all, have been through several recessions. “That stability of wisdom, of living through it [before], can be the most important of all,” he said.

Joy L. Taylor, an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, stressed that keeping skills sharp can make a difference in on-the-job performance. She studied 118 noncommercial pilots, age 40 to 69, to determine how age affects cognitive performance in the real world.

She did the study as the Federal Aviation Administration was proposing that the mandatory retirement age for commercial airline pilots be raised from 60 to 65, which was later signed into law.

Though she did find that the older pilots, those 60 to 69 years of age, initially performed worse than the younger pilots, she also found that the older pilots showed less of a decrease in their overall flight summary scores. And over time, they improved more on their “traffic avoidance” performances than did the younger pilots.

The study was published in the journal Neurology, accompanied by an editorial co-authored by Sirven.

Now, Taylor and her team are studying whether extra training for pilots helps them overcome age-related changes in motor performance skills they need, such as flying in a holding pattern.

So, how to best ensure that you can work longer than average, if you have to or want to?

Try constantly to learn new skills, Sirven suggested. “Pick up a new language, learn a new instrument,” he said. “Give yourself a push to try something new.”

And Taylor had additional ideas. “Keep your work-related skills, exercise, and eat the best diet, a heart-healthy diet,” she said. “Our emphasis is on physical health as well as cognitive health and stimulation — both being equally important.”

Chemicals in soybeans reduced the effects of menopause in rats, according to a Taiwanese study.

The researchers found that dietary supplementation with soy aglycons of isoflavone (SAI) — a group of chemicals found in soybeans — lowered cholesterol, boosted the anti-oxidative abilities of the liver, and prevented degeneration of the vaginal lining in female rats who’d had their ovaries removed.

“These ovariectomized animals are a good model for study of the menopause as the loss of estrogen from the ovaries mimics the natural reduction in estrogen seen in menopausal women,” study leader Robin Chiou, of the National Chiayi University in Taiwan, said in a news release. “SAI itself has weak estrogenic properties, and we’ve shown here that menopause-related syndromes can be prevented or improved by dietary supplementation with the compounds it contains.”

The researchers said their study, published in the journal Nutrition & Metabolism, supports “the indication that soybean consumption may prevent coronary heart disease.”

Chiou and colleagues also suggested soy supplementation may provide an alternative to hormone replacement therapy, which has been linked to uterine and breast cancers.
