And if the result is positive, don’t be complacent. Additional examinations are required. It will reduce the chance of cervical cancer. And died! In the event was honored by Atthaporn Dentist Limpanyalert Deputy Secretary-General of the National Health Security Office (NHSO), Dr. Olarik Musikwong, obstetrics and gynecology specialist, Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of Health, and spokesperson for the Deputy Minister of Public Health participated in the discussion.
Cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer in Thai women. with data from the National Cancer Institute that cervical cancer is 80% preventable if cervical cancer is screened with regular HPV testing At present, the National Health Security Office has included HPV DNA and HPV DNA Self-Sampling screening tests for cervical cancer Manual sampling is a health benefit to reduce the number of cervical cancer patients also to solve the problem of shyness and worried about going up the trestle Allowing women aged 30-59 to receive the privilege for free via the wallet application. However, there are still many women who, when diagnosed with high-risk HPV strains that cause 70% of cervical cancers, Instead, they do not undertake additional tests to perform treatment before the infection develops into cancer.
Dr. Atthaporn Limpanyalert Deputy Secretary-General of the National Health Security Office (NHSO) said that at present, 48 million Thai people have gold patents that when sick enter the hospital. You don’t have to pay the expenses yourself, but have the NHSO as the government’s representative to be responsible for the expenses according to the criteria. In addition to medical treatment The NHSO also has benefits in health promotion and disease prevention. which can see details through the wallet app There will be 22 health promotion programs for women, classified by sex and age group. For cervical cancer screening benefits this year, the target is 1.2 million, 700,000 or about 56.8% have been implemented. To avoid cervical cancer Because if the infection is found in the early stages This will help the doctor to plan a treatment in a timely manner. and if the result is negative It means that he is normal, in another 3-5 years, he will check again.
“Currently screening for cervical cancer It is a national health insurance right for Thai women aged 30-59 years. They can obtain a sample collection kit by themselves at a government hospital participating in the project. And can request a sampling kit through the wallet application Cervical cancer is a major public health problem in Thailand. And although it is the fifth most common cancer in Thai women and has a death rate of almost 5,000 per year, it is a cancer that can be cured if found in the early stages as 70% of the disease is caused by HPV infection. (HPV) strains 16 and 18, which are high-risk strains. Cervical cancer screening to detect early HPV infection to lead to treatment This is another important measure to reduce the number of Thai women who are at risk of getting sick with cervical cancer. Therefore, it is hoped that working with the private sector to promote women to be more informed. understand will encourage more women to undergo screening according to the NHSO policy,” Dr. Attaporn Limpanyalert added.
On the side of Dr. Olarik Musikwong, medical specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of Health And a spokesman for the deputy minister of public health said screening by self-sampling method will help solve the problem of medical embarrassment. and worry about getting up Makes the visitor more convenient. Importantly, the World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that the HPV DNA Self-Sampling test. worthwhile It is recommended as a standard screening test for cervical cancer. For middle-income and low-income countries, which used to be available only in high-income countries, WHO has now announced that it is cost-effective. because it is easily accessible self-sampling Including Thailand, there are benefits for free examination. Therefore, I sincerely hope that with new options added will help more women to undergo screening tests
“The method of self-sampling is not complicated. The doctor recommended the use of a chair. or going to the bathroom wash your hands lift one leg Hold the probe and insert it deeply, following the marking on the sampling brush. Then twist it according to the manual and store it in a sample tube, close the lid, and continue to send it to the laboratory for further examination. It is recommended that when receiving the collection set Collect samples yourself. finished collecting samples sent to the checkpoint when finished The collection agency will send the results back to the wallet app as usual, ”said Dr. Olarik Musikwong.
However, Dr. Olarik emphasized that When HPV is found What is very important is additional examination, for example, the doctor must do a colposcopy (40 times magnification) and apply some liquid to see the lesion more clearly. and cut out a small piece of meat to examine the result of this piece of meat It can tell what stage it is, such as the pre-cancer stage. phase one, phase two, etc.
“When the infection is found in the early stages The treatment will be easy, convenient, and have the opportunity to heal, for example, assuming that it is a zero distance. will cut only the biopsy area, just the cervix No need for hysterectomy no hospital stay Use the method of injecting anesthesia into the cervix. and then use the electric coil to cut Once finished, you can go home. Therefore, it is important to tell all patients that if the test results are positive hurry up to see a doctor Some people may not be anything at all. or if infection is found, early treatment will be given Do not forget that cancer in the early stages. May show any abnormal symptoms Before I knew it, it had turned into cancer. and although this disease is not incurable But it costs resources to maintain. which can be avoided by attending a screening test free of charge Therefore would like to campaign for high-risk women to undergo HPV DNA screening. or self-sampling in the form of HPV DNA Self-Sampling, because the faster HPV is detected, the better so that it can be treated before the infection develops into cancer. because prevention is better than cure A bad uterus won’t be able to fix it in time!!” Dr. Olarik said in the end.
