Cervicitis is inflammation of the cervix (lower part of the womb connecting it to the vagina), often caused by sexually transmitted infections, irritation, or an overgrowth of normal vaginal bacteria. Symptoms may include unusual discharge, bleeding, or pain during sex, though sometimes there are no symptoms. It is generally not serious if treated promptly, but if left untreated, it can lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease or fertility problems. A doctor can identify the cause and recommend the appropriate treatment.

Treatment for oral cancer depends on its stage and location. Common options include surgery to remove the tumour and nearby lymph nodes, as well as radiotherapy or chemotherapy, often used together as chemoradiotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. In more advanced cases, targeted therapy or immunotherapy may also be used. Your doctor will recommend the best treatment plan based on your overall health and the specific characteristics of your oral cancer.

By the age of 10, most routine childhood vaccinations are already completed, but your child may need booster doses such as the tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis booster (often called the Tdap or Td vaccine) to strengthen immunity. The HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccine is also recommended from this age for girls to protect against cervical cancer later in life. An influenza vaccine is also advised every year. It is best to check your child?s vaccination record and consult your doctor to ensure that all vaccinations are up to date.

A cervical infection lasting three years should be evaluated by a doctor or gynaecologist to identify the specific cause, which may be a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection. Treatment usually involves antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals depending on the cause, and sometimes minor procedures to remove abnormal tissue. Your doctor may also perform tests, such as a Pap smear or cervical cultures, to check for complications or other infections. Follow-up is important to ensure the infection is fully cleared.

Warts near the vaginal walls during pregnancy are usually caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus) and should be assessed by a doctor. In many cases, treatment is delayed until after delivery, unless the warts are large, painful, or causing problems, in which case safe options such as cryotherapy (freezing them off) may be used. Do not use over-the-counter wart treatments in the genital area during pregnancy. Regular follow-up with your doctor is important to monitor the warts and ensure a safe pregnancy.

Stomach cancer is usually detected through tests such as endoscopy, imaging scans, and sometimes a biopsy of the stomach lining. Common symptoms include persistent indigestion, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, and blood in vomit or stool. Early detection improves treatment outcomes, so it is important to see a doctor if you experience these symptoms persistently.
