What is cervical cancer? What are the risk factors of cervical cancer?

Viral or fungal infection

Herpes simplex virus type II, papillomavirus, cytomegalovirus, and fungal infections may be involved in the etiology of cervical cancer.

2. Cervical erosion

Due to the physiology and anatomy of the cervix, it is easily irritated by a variety of physical, chemical, and biological factors, including trauma, hormones, and viruses.

3. Lack of exercise

People who sit in one place for a long time or do not move for a long time will accumulate toxins, which is also a common cause of cervical cancer. Such as mahjong chess and card activities, office activities, etc.

4. Premature or multiple births

As with early sexual life, immature sexual organs are susceptible to various harmful factors. Frequent childbirth or multiple artificial abortions also have similar destructive effects. After years of accumulation, this damage may lead to cervical cancer.

5. Relationship with sex life and marriage

Premature sexual activity refers to women who have sexual intercourse before the age of 18. The incidence of cervical cancer is four times that of women who have sexual intercourse after the age of 18. This is also the cause of cervical cancer. If women have early sexual intercourse and suffer from sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea, the incidence of cervical cancer is six times that of normal women.

Relationship with spouse

Some people believe that if the husband has a long foreskin or phimosis, his wife has a relatively high chance of developing cervical cancer. If the husband has penile cancer or prostate cancer or his ex-wife has cervical cancer, or if the man has multiple sexual partners, his wife is more likely to develop cervical cancer.

7. Others

Smoking may also be a factor in cervical cancer.
