A member asked:
Does chronic stress for 3 months and probable hpv infection for 2 years cause cancer in a person in his early twenties..(21).?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wouldn't think so: In medicine we never say never but this is is a bit much. HPV is a family with hundreds of strains, only a few of which are linked to cancer. Those strains may trigger it in months/years or never. Women got pap smears for decades to find early signs of the linked cancer long before we knew of a link to HPV. I wouldn't obsess about it but would get your regular screening done.
