‘Human Papilloma Virus’

PREVENTION AND RISK FACTORS

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

A study by British and French researchers has concluded that the use of the pill as a contraceptive may promote the development of cervical cancer. And it is that this drug does not prevent infection during sexual intercourse, from viruses such as human papilloma virus, or bacteria such as chlamydia, whose infection can lead to cancer.

This risk increases with the length of time that has consumed the pill. Feminists who have used oral contraceptives for less than five years have a 10% greater chance of having a tumor of the cervix, while those who have used five to nine years, the percentage may reach 60%.

Getting the vaccine to immunize against human papilloma virus before starting a sexual activity could also seems to prevent or at least reduce the chances of contracting cervical cancer, according to recent studies.
