Cannabis Strains For Cervical Cancer

What Marijuana Strains are Cervical Cancer Patients Trying Out? from CannabisNet on Vimeo.

Cervical cancer affects the cervix. It occurs when cancerous cells grow in this area, found in the lower region of the uterus which leads into the vagina.

In the past, cervical cancer was the leading cause of death among women in America. Increased awareness and education, thankfully, has reduced the fatality rates associated with cervical cancer. Women today know the importance of pap test screenings to detect signs of cervical cancer. But in other countries, millions of women still don’t have access to the kind of tests needed to detect cervical cancer, nor do they have the awareness and education.

The main cause of most cervical cancer cases is the human papilloma virus (HPV), a form of sexually transmitted disease. HPV comes in many varieties but not all of them will cause cervical cancer. Symptoms of cervical cancer include pain during sex, vaginal bleeding, discharge, and pelvic pain. Treatment will depend on the severity of the condition, although the chances of success are best when it is detected early. Sometimes, surgery may be recommended, although it involves the removal of pelvic lymph nodes and in some cases removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. This means that a woman who gets these procedures done will no longer be able to get pregnant. Late stage cervical cancer will require chemotherapy and radiation.

Fortunately, cannabis has been proven to help by reducing tumor growth and inducing apoptosis, or cancer cell death.
