How can poor hygiene contribute to increase risk for vulvar and cervical cancer if no infections, no itching, no tenderness?

Virus infections/sil: Most infections in this region are caused by Viruses like HPV. They are generally asymptomatic and most people will not know that they have it, unless tested for it.
