When abnormal cells in the cervix grow out of control, it leads to cervical cancer. The lower part of the uterus, which opens directly to the vagina, is called the cervix. If this problem is discovered early, it can easily be cured, and this discovery at this early stage can only be possible if the patient is one that undergoes regular tests of her body systems. The discovery of cervical cancer is by carrying out a test called Pap test.

CAUSES OF CERVICAL CANCER:

There is no singular factor that we can say that it is the principal cause or the main factor that is responsible for the cancer of the cervix. However, there are some factors that appear to increase the risk of developing this cancer of the cervix. The main factor that we can point to that increases the risk of the cancer of the cervix is what we refer to as human papilloma virus. (HPV) This is a combination of more than 100 types of viruses, and some of these viruses can easily be transferred from person to person through sexual intercourse. These types of HPV infections are very common, and because the immune system gets rid of them, they goes without treatment. However, there are some stubborn HPV that does not die easily. These have the ability to cause changes in the cells in cervix, and this is what eventually leads to cervical cancer.
