Cervical cancer?!


Question:

Cervical cancer?

Why do a sexually active woman will have a greater chance of having a cervical cancer than a girl who didn't have sex before?

Thanks


Answers:

Because cervical cancer can be caused by the Human Papilloma Virus which is passed on through sex. Often it shows no symptoms but then can cause cervical cancer, this is why it is necessary to have pap smears taken once you become sexually active. There now vaccinations available.
