Beware of overconfidence and the casual dismissal of well-being! Experts shed light on the dangers of cervical cancer and offer guidance on safeguarding uterine health.

Proactive prevention is the key to averting the escalation of uterine-related diseases, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive preventive measures.

Individuals in their 30s face a heightened susceptibility to uterine issues. Irrespective of pregnancy or childbirth plans, managing the health of the uterus and adjacent organs is crucial for those in the aesthetics-driven generation. Any feelings of discomfort should prompt an immediate consultation with a gynecologist rather than neglecting or enduring the symptoms. Cervical cancer, which has witnessed a significant surge among individuals in their 20s and 30s over the last two decades, poses a unique challenge as it often exhibits minimal symptoms until it advances. Dr. Etsuko Miyagi, a seasoned obstetrician and gynecologist advocating for cervical cancer prevention, stresses the importance of regular checkups and vaccinations in the face of this silent disease.

Japan, among medically advanced nations, stands out as the sole country experiencing a continual rise in cervical cancer cases. Dr. Miyagi urges everyone to seek accurate information and take charge of their well-being by consulting a gynecologist.
Cervical cancer is on the rapid rise among women aged 25 to 30, peaking in the 30s and 40s. Factors contributing to this increase include early onset of sexual activity and lower rates of medical examinations and vaccinations.
           

Surprisingly, almost 20% of members from the Aesthetic Club are at risk of cervical cancer. Screening among "Biteki" magazine readers revealed abnormal cells in about 20%, with three individuals out of 72 diagnosed with "high-grade dysplasia," necessitating treatment like surgery.
Alarming statistics also highlight a rising death toll from cervical cancer, with 2020 recording 2,887 deaths, 7% of which were individuals in their 30s. Japan stands as the only developed country witnessing an increase in cervical cancer deaths, attributed to inadequate vaccination coverage.

Insights from experts, including Dr. Etsuko Miyagi and Dr. Noriko Oshima from Creage Tokyo Ladies Doctor Clinic, stress the urgency of addressing uterine health concerns. Dr. Miyagi, a specialist in gynecological oncology, and Dr. Oshima, specializing in women's medicine and gynecological oncology, emphasize the need for proactive healthcare throughout a woman's life. Vigilance, timely screenings, and adherence to vaccination recommendations are crucial steps in combating the rising tide of cervical cancer and uterine issues.    Learn more about
