Cervical Cancer: Have Knowledge Of Its Risk Factors And Prevention Techniques
by Vivek Choudhary Nice lifeCervical cancer occurs in the cells of your cervix
which forms the lower portion of the uterus and establishes
connection with your vagina. A selection of strains
of HPV or human papillomavirus, an infection so transmitted sexually,
is instrumental in causing cervical cancer for the most part.
·
According
to a specialist from a cancer hospital in India, when you’re exposed to HPV, as a rule, your
body’s immune system becomes functional thereby preventing the virus from
causing major harm.
·
However,
in a marginal fraction of people, the virus keeps on surviving for years.
·
As a
result, it contributes to the process that results in making a few cervical
cells cancerous.
·
With the
help of several screening tests and receiving a vaccination that puts you on
guard against HPV infection you can decrease your risks to develop
cervical cancer.
Risk factors
·
As per an
oncologist from a leading hospital that carries out cervical cancer treatment in India, the risk factors for the disease include the
following.
1.
Multiple sex partners
o
The more
the number of partners you have sex with and also more the number of
sex partners your partner, in turn, engages in sexual encounters with, the
greater are your odds of contracting HPV.
2.
Early sexual activity
o
If you
start having sex from an early age, you’re more prone to pick up potential
risks of HPV.
3.
Other sexually transmitted
infections (STIs)
o
In case
you’re infected with other STIs, for example, HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea,
chlamydia, and syphilis, your risks to go down with HPV increases.
4.
A weakened immune system
o
On
the off chance, your body’s immune system is compromised by
another co-occurring health condition; you’re more likely to come down
with HPV.
5.
Smoking
o
Addiction
to smoking is linked with the development of squamous cell
cervical cancer.
Prevention
·
According
to an oncologist from a leading top chemotherapy centre India you can reduce your odds of
developing cervical cancer by:
o
Inquiring your doctor
about HPV vaccine
§
When you
receive inoculation to put a stop to HPV infection
you reduce the risk of contracting cervical cancer and other types of
cancer related to HPV.
§
Take a
probe from your doctor regarding your suitability of
receiving an HPV vaccine.

help of Pap tests it’s possible to summon a detection
of precancerous conditions of your cervix.

This is
done with the purpose of monitoring or treating the conditions early
to preclude the inception of cervical cancer.

majority of experts from leading cancer hospitals in India recommend going ahead with Pap tests once
you attain 21 years of age and doing them again every few years.

You can
bring down your risks to catch cervical cancer by taking up preventive measure
against the spread of STIs.
