A member asked:
Does giving birth to a child reduce the risk of cervical cancer?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, ovarian, breast.: This reduces the risk of ovarian and breast cancer because pregnancy lowers the exposurre to endogenous estrogen by lowering the number of menstrual cycles over a woman's lifetime. Oral contraceptives also lower ovarian cancer risk, but have little or no effect on breast cancer risk.

No: Child birth is not salutatory of cervical cancer, the reverse may be true.
