5 points to pay attention to when actively treating vulvar cancer that poses a threat to women's health

Vulvar cancer is a well-known gynecological disease and one of the major diseases. It must be treated promptly after illness, and care during treatment is also important.

The hazards of vulvar cancer

1. Vulvar cancer not only brings great troubles to female partners' fertility, but also poses a great threat to the health of our patients. The risk of vulvar cancer is a color change that most people talk about and must be taken seriously by patients.

2. Due to changes in people's dietary structure and lifestyle habits, the current human body is acidified, forming an acidic constitution, damaging the peripheral nerves, reducing the body's immune system, and infecting the human papillomavirus. This virus infection forms vulvar cancer and its precancerous lesions.

3. Physical acidification, premature female amenorrhea, internal excretion, high incidence of vulvar cancer, in short, body fluid acidification has formed many gynecological diseases, providing necessary living conditions for the development of cancer cells.

4. Patients with advanced vulvar cancer may develop ulcers, irregular papillary or nodular masses, and the affected area of vulvar cancer often contains purulent excreta. The risk of vulvar cancer also lies in the fact that the lesion can expand and affect the anus, rectum, and bladder. One or both groins can be palpated with hard, fixed, and immobile enlarged lymph nodes.

Treatment of vulvar cancer

1. Treatment principle: Surgical treatment is the first choice, followed by radiation therapy.

2. Surgical treatment: Surgery is the preferred treatment method for vulvar cancer, which rarely invades deep tissues. Therefore, even if the tumor is large, it still provides the possibility for therapeutic or palliative surgical resection. Due to the growth characteristics of vulvar cancer, which is characterized by extensive local infiltration and can occur in multiple locations, there is a greater tendency for lymph node metastasis, The routine surgery for vulvar cancer should include radical resection of the vulva and bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection. As for pelvic lymph node dissection, pelvic lymph node metastasis only occurs after the metastasis of femoral lymph nodes. Therefore, only patients with positive femoral lymph nodes should undergo pelvic lymph node dissection. For Bowen's disease, simple vulvar resection can be performed, while for Paget's disease, radical vulvar resection is often performed, Adenocarcinoma of the vestibular gland requires the removal of parts of the vagina, levator ani muscle, etc. according to the situation.

3. Radiation therapy: In recent years, with the improvement of radiation therapy equipment and technology, the side effects of radiation therapy have decreased. Currently, female genital cancer is treated with radiation therapy, especially for patients with surgical contraindications or late stage unsuitable for surgery. Radiation therapy has a certain therapeutic effect.
