  • CERVICAL CANCER: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

    Accident Pro Prime

    Causes, Symptoms & Early Detection

    The second most common cancer among Malaysian women is also one of the most preventable.
    Read on and share to raise awareness on this. 

    CERVICAL CANCER BY NUMBERS

    Accident Pro Prime

    2nd most common cancer among Malaysian women.

    Accident Pro Prime

    4th highest cancer-related deaths among women aged 15-44 years old.

    Accident Pro Prime

    70% reduction in risk of cervical cancer with early detection, screening and vaccination.

    Accident Pro Prime

    Largely preventable cancer through 3 steps: HPV vaccination, screening (PAP smear) and early detection.

    Accident Pro Prime

    Slow growing cancer: takes about 10 years  for abnormal cells to develop into cancer.

    CAUSES OF CERVICAL CANCER

    Accident Pro Prime

    The major cause of cervical cancer is the
    Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted virus.

    Having HPV does not mean you have cervical cancer.

    Accident Pro Prime
    Accident Pro Prime

    Having HPV does not mean you have cervical cancer.

    Accident Pro Prime

    Only 15 out of 100 strains of the HPV cause cancer,
    with two strains contributing to 70% of all cervical cancer occurrences.

    HPV is transmitted through sexual intercourse or genital skin-to-skin contact, which is why a condom itself is not an effective preventive measure.

    Accident Pro Prime

    Other risk factors of cervical cancer are smoking,
    taking birth control pills and having multiple sex partners.

     

    SYMPTOMS TO LOOK OUT FOR

    Visit a gynecologist if you have either one of these symptoms:

    Accident Pro Prime

    Unusual bleeding

    Accident Pro Prime

    Heavier periods 

    Accident Pro Prime

    Increased vaginal discharge

    Accident Pro Prime

    Bleeding after intercourse,
    douching or pelvic examination

    Accident Pro Prime

    Pain during intercourse

    Accident Pro Prime

    Bleeding after menopause 

    BE PROACTIVE:

    PREVENTION & EARLY DETECTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

    Although the HPV vaccination protects against strains of HPV that are most likely to cause cervical cancer, it does not protect against all strains. Hence, screenings and check-ups are still necessary. 

    The average return on an investment-linked plan differs based on the level of risk and aggressiveness of the funds you invest in. 

    Accident Pro Prime

    Get Vaccinated:

    The HPV vaccine is administered in 3 doses within 6 months and the recommended age for administration is between 13-26 years old.

    Under Budget 2017, RM30 million has been allocated for women to undergo mammogram screening and HPV vaccination for free.

    Choose Healthy:

    Go for regular health checks to ensure you are in the pink of health. Practice living a healthy lifestyle consisting of regular exercise, balanced eating and regular health checks.

    Protect yourself when you pair A-Life Cancer360 with AIA Vitality and get rewarded for better choices.

    Get Screened:

    A pap smear is a screening procedure to test for precancerous or cancerous cells. The frequency of screening differs according to each individual. AIA Vitality recommends a yearly screening.
