Figures revealed by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) have highlighted that the cervical cancer has not been able to affect the major percentage of the Australian population. However, steps are required to be taken as it is estimated that aboriginal women of Australia are at higher risk of succumbing to death because of cervical cancer.
It has come to light that in Australia, since the introduction of national screening program in 1991, there have been minimal cervical cancer cases.? Although the screening program has proved successful in saving lives, the aboriginal women are still being deprived of the facility.
According to the figures revealed by the AIHW, between 2003 and 2007, about 10 women out of 100,000 aboriginal women have succumbed to death due to cervical cancer. However, among other group only one woman died of cervical cancer out of 100,000.
The AIHW has revealed that every year about 60% of women are screened for cervical cancer. Efforts are required to be put towards improving the program so that every woman would be able to avail the facility.
Cervical cancer is one of the deadliest diseases which often lead to death of a woman. Usually it affects women in the age group of 30 to 55 years.? Timely diagnosis of it is the only key for its successful treatment.
The symptoms of cervical cancer vary from woman to woman. However, the most common symptoms of cervical cancer include heavy discharge from vagina, pelvic pain, irritation in bladder and bleeding after having sexual intercourse.
A woman showing any of the aforementioned symptoms might be at risk of developing cervical cancer. Therefore, it is highly advisable that they should contact they doctors and get themselves checked before it's too late.
