What are cervical cancer treatment options in a diabetic?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have got a bit of a worry about my friend and colleague. She is 46 and dealing with diabetes and high cholesterol, and now she has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. The doctor is suggesting a hysterectomy, but I am concerned about what that might mean for her.

I have heard that a hysterectomy can cause other issues, especially with hormones. Is that true? Could you explain a bit more about cervical cancer treatment? I want to understand what she is going through and how I can support her better.

Kindly help.

Hi

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

A hysterectomy is generally a safe procedure; however, like any surgical intervention, it carries some risks. It is advisable to seek consultation with an obstetrician-gynecologist surgeon for the best guidance and care.

I hope this information will help.
