Question 1

i have a bump on the outside of my cervix, a abnormal pap from my gyno, horrible lower back pains, and pain during sex. could i have cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Cervical cancer: Have you had your colposcopic exam and biopsies to work up your abnormal pap? That exam will help tell if you have cervical cancer. A more common diagnosis would be cervical dysplasia and endometriosis.

Question 2

can anal sex cause cervical cancer or does it primarily cause anal cancer?

Accepted Answer

No cervical cancer: Anal sex is NOT a risk factor for cervical cancer. However, you should keep in mind that there are multiple infection associated, and risk to get wounds.
As long as you have good hygiene and keep getting your annual check ups, you should not worry.

Question 3

can you get cervical cancer from teen sex?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Cervical cancer is strongly linked to human papilloma virus (hpv) infection. This infection is acquired during sexual contact with a person already infected. Teens can have hpv, and cervical cancer can be a result.

Question 4

how can i tell if i will get cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: There is no test that will tell if you will get cervical cancer. Pap smears should be done annually. Hpv infection or certain abnormalities on pap smear increase the risk for cervical cancer.

Question 5

who is most likely to develop cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Having many partners: Cervical cancer is caused by 2 types of hpv. There are more than 40 types; some cause genital warts. Women who have multiple sexual partners have higher risk, but you can get infected from having sex once with someone who has it. Condoms can help prevent it, but they have to be worn consistently. Get your pap. Ask your doctor about the vaccine. For more info: www.Cdc.Gov/std/hpv/stdfact-hpv.Htm.

Question 6

at what age do women usually have cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

No usual age: Cervical cancer may occur at any age. The median age is the mid-50s, but it can occur from the 20's to "old age".

Question 7

what are some symptoms of cervical cancer u can get?

Accepted Answer

Variable: In early stage- usually asymptomatic. Common symptoms may include postcoital bleeding, irregular or heavy vaginal bleeding. Vaginal discharge can present-however this is nonspecific. In advanced stage- pelvic pain radiating to the legs, bowel or urinary problem from obstruction/mass pressure-like constipation, problem urinating/renal failure, vaginal passage or urine/stool , etc-can happen.

Question 8

what does cervical cancer look like from the outside of your body?

Accepted Answer

You can not see: From outside of your body you can not see it or nobody else can see it.

Question 9

can you tell me what is the youngest age to get cervical cancer at?

Accepted Answer

Twenties...: Many factors are important at determining if someone may experience cervical cancer.  Nearly all cervix cancers are caused by hpv.  The duration of infection and specific strain of virus are important.  Nutrition and the immune status of the patient are also important.  Smokers have a higher risk.  I know of a 24 year old woman with invasive cervical cancer.  If you are worried, get a pap test.

Question 10

are there any sub-topics i can use for an essay about cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

As many as you like.: Just like for any cancer, one needs to describe the epidemiology, etiology(causes), stages of cancer, staging methods, treatment options and outcomes of treatment (survival / prognosis).
