Understanding Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer develops in the cells of the cervix — the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is often caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). While not all HPV infections lead to cervical cancer, regular screening helps detect abnormal changes in the cervical cells before they develop into cancer.
Symptoms and Risk Factors
Early-stage cervical cancer may not present noticeable symptoms, making regular screening essential. However, advanced stages may cause abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, or pain during intercourse. Risk factors include:
- Early sexual activity
- Multiple sexual partners
- Smoking
- A weakened immune system
Prevention and Early Detection
- HPV Vaccination: The HPV vaccine offers significant protection against the types of HPV that cause most cervical cancers.
- Regular Screening: Pap tests and HPV tests help detect early signs of cervical abnormalities.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Avoiding smoking and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk.
