HPV is the Culprit of Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of female reproductive system, and its incidence rate is second-highest female malignancy, only after breast cancer. Women are afraid to cervical cancer, but do not know what causes cervical cancer. Now it has been clear that human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the culprit of cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer. In other words, if not infected with HPV, cervical cancer would not have happened.
HPV is mainly transmitted through sexual life, but also can be infected by the reproductive organs’ contact with unclean utensils, such as using unsterilized public water closet, bathtub, ect. Many women think that only dirty sex can cause HPV infection, but actually HPV is widely present in our environment. Even if it is a one-to-one relationship between sexual partners, HPV can be infected through sex or contact with each other.
