Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is one of the major mortality causes of death and the second-most common cancer in Thai women, and a major public health issue in Thailand.

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer and it is a silent danger to a women’s health. Around 14 women die from cervical cancer per day. Therefore, cervical cancer screening test is essential to help find the abnormalities in the early stage in order to find the best solution and treatment.

Postcoital bleeding or bleeding after sexual intercourse is one of the possible problems that could happen in females even though it is not their menstrual period. Dr. Chutatip Poonsatta, M.D., an Obstetrics and Gynecology – Gynecologic Laparoscopy specialist of Vejthani Hospital explained that postcoital bleeding or bleeding after sexual intercourse might be caused by an ordinary vaginal infection or some kind of cancer. Somehow, the blood might come from inside or outside of the vagina, cervix, or uterus.

Most patients who develop cervical cancer respond very well to treatment. Catching the cancer in time and removing it is vital.
