Integrative medicine specialist Dr. Dana Cohen, who graduated from St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine in the Caribbean, shares advice on how to reduce the risk of this deadly disease through daily holistic wellness practices.
Cervical Cancer Causes and Risk Factors
Understanding the causes and risk factors of cervical cancer is crucial for effective prevention. The primary cause is persistent infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV). Most HPV infections clear up naturally without causing significant harm. However, persistent infections can lead to changes in the cells of the cervix, eventually forming a mass of cancerous cells called a tumor. These malignant cells can invade and destroy healthy body tissue and spread to other parts of the body.
Other risk factors include smoking, a weakened immune system, genetic predisposition, and lack of screening.
Cervical Cancer Prevention Tips
Nourish Your Immune System with Functional Nutrition
Reduce Stress
Chronic stress weakens the immune system. Stress reduction activities include mindfulness, meditation, regular physical activity, and holistic therapies like aromatherapy, acupuncture, and massage.
To reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer, individuals can incorporate proper nutrition, hydration, and stress reduction into their daily routines. Strengthening the immune system through these lifestyle changes, combined with proper vaccination and regular screenings, can significantly lower the risk.
By adopting these preventative measures, women in South Korea can take proactive steps to protect their health and reduce the burden of cervical cancer.
