[아하!] Can you have a child after your gynecological surgery?

[프라임경제] We know that cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer, commonly known as female gynecological cancers, usually occur in women over the age of 40. years.

According to data from the National Cancer Information Center, over the past decade, women in their twenties and thirties have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and cancer. ; endometrium. The incidence of cancer has steadily increased. In particular, it is estimated that endometrial cancer has doubled from 7.8 per 100,000 in 2006 to 13.9 in 2015.

In addition, according to the Evaluation Service and to Assessment of health insurance, cervical cancer, declining globally due to the spread of screening tests and vaccine development, would represent more than 2000 cases of cervical cancer. That's all.

The reasons for the increased incidence of cancer in young women are attributed to late pregnancy, childbirth, female hormones, high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. obesity and westernized diets.

Is a resection of the uterus or ovary, so that it is not easy to preserve fertility in principle.

However, the recent development of medical technology has led to an increase in the number of women who are in the early stages of cancer

Real ovarian cancer is found in the early stage of the tumor germinal cells, borderline ovarian cancer, and epithelial ovarian cancer in the early stage of ovarian cancer.

In cases of cervical cancer, the horizontal spread of cancer invasion is less than 7.0 mm and the depth of invasion of the substrate is less than 3.0 mm. It is said that resection of the cervical cone can only be cured by cutting the tumor of the cervix without performing a hysterectomy.

However, even if we preserve fertility as a surgical treatment for gynecological cancer, radiotherapy or chemotherapy is unavoidable if the risk of recurrence is high in postoperative biopsy or if it has reappeared.

These treatments can cause damage to the endometrium and ovaries, and radiation therapy can damage the uterus, which can result in a loss of fertility even in case of conservative surgery.

If it is unavoidable, you can keep it for use during pregnancy after the chemotherapy is over, either by cryopreservation of embryos or cryopreservation of the eggs before chemotherapy. Even if the operation does not preserve the uterus, there is also a method of in vitro transplantation.

In other words, even if you have cancer, if you find it early, you can get a pregnancy and a childbirth with conservative treatment. For this, early prevention through regular screening is more important than anything else.

The best way is not to have cancer. To do this, you must pay attention to your health and do not neglect good eating habits, regular exercise and regular exams.
