Breast Cancer Health Talk
Part 1.3

 

 

Some women have another symptom during the last 2 days of their period. They vomit with blood. Where the blood comes from? It is not from stomach bleeding. This is because some menses goes to the stomach and vomited during period. 

So what causes endometriosis? What are the symptoms? Should you go for surgery? Why it still grow back after surgery?

As a modern woman, you cannot ignore it. Another type of growth is ovarian cyst. See how many growth type women have.

Why women develop ovarian cyst? What are the symptoms?  Should you have surgery? How ovarian cyst actually forms? As a modern woman, you cannot ignore it.

I have a 16-year-old patient who felt a lump at her ovary area. It grew very fast within half a year. She told her mother. And under mother's encouragement, she consulted me. On the spot, I diagnosed her with ovarian cyst. Due to the fast grow rate, we decided to surgically remove it immediately. 

Soon her ovary tumor was removed. Following standard medical procedure, I cut open it to let her family see what's inside. Only her mother was present at that time. Not only her mother, but the two young doctors beside me were shocked at what they saw. 

Her ovarian tumor was actually a messy group of hair, two teeth and some bones. What is the name of this tumor? Ovarian teratoma.

Women have so many types of tumor. Each tumor has different symptoms, causes and treatments. How should we learn more about these tumors? What are the actual causes for these tumor growth? And what women care most, should they surgically remove it. 

I can have a talk solely on women's tumor. Very interesting indeed. You will be stunned while listening to it.

Okay, let's continue. Besides what I mentioned, currently we know women's top two killers are breast cancer and cervical cancer. 

For cervical cancer, we have confirmed 70% of its causes as human papillomavirus (HPV). This HPV virus is transmitted through sexual intercourse. Currently, we can read about its vaccine in the newspaper. Malaysia government is recommending this vaccine to women who have never had sexual intercourse. 

Once we get this infection, it may develop into cervical cancer.

Therefore, women's cervical cancer is caused by sexual intercourse as I said. So men have to bear how much responsibility? 70%

So what are the other 30% causes for cervical cancer? 

It is called smegma (from penis foreskin). May I know smegma in penis foreskin is from women or men? It is from the men again. Let's calculate together. 30% plus 70% equals to? 100%

Therefore, the cervical cancer talk should be attended by men or women? Men? No, both men and women should attend. Why? 

Even though men cause the problem, women die from it. So should women attend? Of course! This is my another health talk on cervical cancer.
