Today, we would like to discuss some of the risk factors for cervical cancer. They are many, which will not be possible for us to exhaust all of them, but let us see how far we can go today.
1 Human PAPILLUM virus infection) (HPV): this is the most important risk factors for cancer of the cervix. Doctors believe that before a woman may develop cervical cancer, she must have been infected with HPV. Certain types of HPV are classified as "high risk", because they are a major cause of cervical cancer. These types include HPV 6 HPV 18 HPV, HPV 31, 35 and 45 HPV and many others. Approximately two-thirds of all cervical cancer are caused by HPV 16-18.
2) smoking: Women who smoke are more likely to get cancer of the neck than women who do not smoke. Smoking provides authority to many chemicals causing cancer, which affects not only the lungs but other parts of the body. The lungs will first and foremost, to absorb those harmful substances, and then move it to a stream of blood throughout the body. By-products of tobacco were found in the cervical mucus of women who smoke. These substances damage the DNA of cells neck and equally can lead to the development of cervical cancer.
3) Immunosuppression: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) virus that causes AIDS is. This virus completely interferes with the immune system of the body and makes women more at risk of being infected with HPV. It is one of the reasons for the increased risk of cancer of the neck in women with AIDS. The immune System is very important in the destruction of cancer cells and a slowdown in the growth of their spread. Cervical pre-cancer is is likely to develop into invasive cancer faster in women with HIV.
4) CHLAMYDIA infection: this is a very common bacterium, which can then infect the reproductive system. Propagation is mainly through sexual contact. Women whose blood tests Show Chlamydia past or present are at greater risk of cervical cancer in women with normal test results. This type of infection often shows no symptoms in women. Unless the woman goes to examine its pelvic region, she may not know that it is infected with a chlamydii. When is long in the body, leads to the pelvic inflammation, which also leads to fecundity.
5) Diet: Diets low in fruit and vegetables, you can increase the risk of cervical cancer. Also equally overweight can lead to cervical cancer.
6) Birth control PILLS: the use of birth control pills for a long time increases the risk of cervical cancer in women. The longer these pills are used, the risk goes up or goes down, after his detention.
7) Multiple PREGNANCIES: Women with many pregnancies in full to an increased risk of cancer of the neck. This may be due to some of these women may be exposed to unprotected sexual activities, which shall consequently be exposed to HPV infection. This is because the immune system is weak, the pregnant woman to infection HPV/cancer growth.
8) Low socio-economic: many women with low incomes do not have access to adequate health-care services, including pap tests, and the implication of this is that it will not be passed or considered for pre-cancerous cervical diseases.
9) History of the family: cancer of the neck runs in some families. If the mother and sister to cervical cancer, the risk of developing this disease is higher. Women from the same family as the patient already diagnosed with cancer of the neck may be a more may have one or more non-genetic risk factors previously described in this section.
I love to hear what are their own views or opinions on this position.
