Gynecological cancers are cancers that affect the female reproductive system, including the cervix, ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, and vulva. There are many types of gynecological cancer and each has its own causes and symptoms.

Cervical Cancer:

Cervical cancer is a cancer that starts in the cells of the cervix. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause. Other risk factors include smoking and a weakened immune system. Symptoms include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain during sex, and vaginal discharge.

Ovarian Cancer:

Ovarian cancer is a cancer that starts in the ovaries. The exact cause of ovarian cancer is unknown, but certain risk factors, such as age and family history, may increase the risk. Symptoms include abdominal bloating, pelvic pain, and frequent urination.

Uterine Cancer:

Uterine cancer is a cancer that starts in the lining of the uterus. Imbalance of hormones estrogen and progesterone causes uterine cancer. Other risk factors include obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Symptoms include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, and a mass in the pelvic area.

Fallopian Tube Cancer:

Fallopian tube cancer is a cancer that starts in the fallopian tubes. While the exact cause of fallopian tube cancer is unknown, we know that certain risk factors, such as family history, may increase the risk. Symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, and vaginal bleeding.

Vulvar Cancer:

Vulvar cancer is a cancer that starts in the tissues of the vulva. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection causes vulvar cancer. Smoking and a weakened immune system may increase risk. Symptoms include itching, burning, and pain in the vulvar area, as well as abnormal vaginal bleeding.

Be aware of the risk factors and take preventive steps such as taking HPV vaccine, adopting a healthy diet, maintaining healthy weight and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption. Regular screenings such as Pap tests and pelvic exams, can also help detect these cancers early.
