Kanser Serviks : Apa Yang Perlu Anda Tahu

Kanser Serviks atau Pangkal Rahim adalah kanser ketiga paling kerap berlaku dalam kalangan wanita di Malaysia. 

Kanser ini boleh dicegah dengan mengambil vaksin HPV. 

KKM mensasarkan untuk mengganti ujian Pap Smear kepada ujian HPV yang lebih selesa menjelang 2023. 

Kelebihan ujian HPV, wanita boleh melakukan ujian sendiri menggunakan swab device dan diserahkan kepada petugas kesihatan untuk ujian RT-PCR. 

Ujian HPV dilakukan setiap 5 tahun.
*Bulan Januari adalah Bulan Kesedaran Kanser Serviks.

Let's Talk About Coughs

Here we take a look at a couple of home-grown remedies for cough that we commonly hear of and see if there’s any truth in them.

We cough as a reflex action to dislodge mucus or clear irritants such as dust or smoke from our airways. It is generally not a sign of anything serious.

Most coughs clear up within 3 weeks and don't require any treatment.

You should speak to a doctor if your cough lasts for more than 3 weeks, is particularly severe or you experience shortness of breath.



Saringan Kusta

Segera ke klinik kesihatan berdekatan jika anda : 
  • Merupakan kontak kepada pesakit Kusta
  • Mempunyai tompol-tompok putih atau merah tembaga di kulit dan TIDAK GATAL, kurang atau hilang deria sentuh
  • Mengalami kelemahan otot di tangan atau kaki dan tidak diketahui puncanya
Kemungkinan simptom ini adalah kusta.

Kanser Serviks

Tahukah anda? 

Kanser serviks merupakan kanser ketiga paling kerap dikesan dalam kalangan wanita di Malaysia. 

Apakah penyebab utama kanser serviks?

HPV adalah penyebab utama kanser serviks. Setiap wanita berisiko dijangkiti HPV sekiranya mempunyai hubungan seksual pada satu ketika dalam hidup mereka. Apabila wanita dijangkiti HPV dan virus tidak hilang sendiri, sel-sel abnormal dapat berkembang di serviks. Sekiranya tidak dirawat, sel-sel ini boleh berkembang menjadi kanser serviks.


Apakah simptom kanser serviks?

Kanser serviks biasanya tidak menunjukkan gejala. Sebilangan besar wanita pada awalnya tidak mengetahui bahawa mereka menghidapnya sehingga kanser menjadi agresif dan merebak ke tisu lain. Apabila ini berlaku, beberapa tanda mungkin akan mula didapat dilihat.

Jika anda mengalami simptom seperti berikut, segeralah berjumpa dengan Pegawai Perubatan berdaftar di mana-mana fasiliti kesihatan yang berdekatan.


Pencegahan dan pengesanan awal kanser amat penting dalam menurunkan kadar kejadian kanser serviks. Malaysia National Cancer Registry Report (MNCRR) 2012 - 2016 melaporkan terdapat penurunan kes yang ketara iaitu dari lapan (8) kes kepada enam (6) kes bagi setiap 100,000 populasi perempuan di Malaysia berbanding MNCRR 2007 - 2011.

Komitmen golongan wanita untuk hadir ke fasiliti kesihatan bagi membuat pengesanan awal melalui ujian pap smear adalah diperlukan. Melalui kajian ‘Malaysian Study on Cancer Survival’ yang telah diterbitkan pada Oktober 2018 menunjukkan semakin lewat kanser dikesan, semakin rendah kadar survival pesakit.

Jangan berlengah, jangan bertangguh. Dapatkan vaksinasi dan buat pemeriksaan berkala. Segera berjumpa dengan pengamal perubatan berdaftar berdekatan anda sekiranya anda mendapati terdapat simptom kanser serviks.

Who Is At Risk Of HPV Infection and Cervical Cancer?

Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infection. More than 40 HPV types can infect the genital areas of men and women, and most people who become infected with HPV do not know they have it. Usually, the body’s immune system gets rid of the HPV infection naturally within two years. By age 50, at least 4 out of every 5 women will have been infected with HPV at one point in their lives. HPV is also very common in men, and often has no symptoms.

When the body’s immune system can’t get rid of an HPV infection, it can linger over time and turn normal cells into abnormal cells and then cancer. About 10% of women with HPV infection on their cervix will develop long-lasting HPV infections that put them at risk for cervical cancer.

Regular follow-ups or screening are always recommended so changes can be detected early. For ladies, it is recommended to get your first Pap smear done at the age of 21 if you are sexually active.

Diet & Supplements To Reduce The Risk Of Birth Defects

Not all birth defects can be prevented but women can increase their chances of having a healthy baby by managing health conditions and adopting healthy behaviors. Choosing a healthy lifestyle and avoiding harmful substances should be a big part of your plan before becoming pregnant and during pregnancy.

Talk to your healthcare professional about taking any medications as certain medications can cause serious birth defects if they are taken during pregnancy. You may also ask your doctor about vaccinations as some vaccines protect women against infections that can cause birth defects.

Pregnancy is an exciting time – make preparations and get ready for it. Plan ahead to give your baby a healthy start in life and give yourself peace of mind.
