Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, is cervical polyps a precursor to cancer? How are they treated and prevented?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's not necessarily so. With proper care, there is no problem. In the early stages of cervical cancer, there are no symptoms. As the condition progresses, patients may experience abnormal vaginal bleeding. Since young women are in their sexually active period, their estrogen levels and sexual activity frequency are both high, making them more likely to have sexual intercourse bleeding as the initial symptom. Additionally, increased vaginal discharge is also a common symptom of cervical cancer, with about 80% of cervical cancer patients exhibiting this symptom. Therefore, it is recommended to promptly visit a hospital for cervical scraping tests and other examinations to choose the most suitable method. Regardless of the treatment method chosen, traditional Chinese medicine can be used as an auxiliary therapy. For example, ginsenoside Rh2 (Houmingsu), a rare ginsenoside from ginseng, can directly inhibit the generation of cancer cells and induce the differentiation of cancer cells. Its content is 16.2%, which aligns with the body's optimal absorption rate.
