Cervical cancer harms many women globally every year as it poses a substantial threat to their health. Consequently, Cervical Cancer Prevention Week will be observed from January 21 to January 28 2025 globally. During this week, focus on prevention first; help those who need assistance, and unite to eradicate cervical cancer in society.
Facts about cervical cancer
In the UK, 3,200 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, making it the fourth most frequent malignancy among women worldwide. Women between 30 and 35 have the greatest risk. HPV infections that are left untreated account for 95% of cases. One in four UK citizens skip cervical screening visits, even though early detection and treatment are highly curable.
The psychological effects of receiving a cervical cancer diagnosis
There may be continued financial, physical and emotional challenges after cervical cancer diagnosis. Managing the emotional effects of cervical cancer is crucial to making it through and getting the desired result. This will include devising strategies to healthfully cope with anger, anxiety, guilt, loneliness, shame, and sorrow breakdown and perfect together with love, hope and optimism.
Getting assistance and support
Taking proactive measures to prevent cervical cancer includes talking to people you can trust about your feelings, talking to your doctor about cervical screening or symptoms, getting help from groups like Macmillan Cancer Support, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, and Maggie’s Centres, and joining a support group like Cancer Chat, which Cancer Research UK runs. By doing these actions, you will feel better and connect with others who are struggling with similar things.
Getting support for mental health.
Getting diagnosed with cancer is emotionally and physically shocking for anyone. The therapist must create an environment where the patient feels safe enough to express their feelings and learn how to deal with them. We offer in-home mental health support for those in need.
How to Help Prevention?
Get tested to prevent cervical cancer. Encourage loved ones to discuss screening, volunteer or donate to cancer charities, raise awareness on social media, and push for improved access to screening and immunisation programs. Cervical cancer may be eradicated by raising awareness, and early diagnosis saves lives.
