A member asked:
Is there a risk of developing thyroid cancer if you have oral sex about 5 times?

I know of no link between oral sex and any thyroid disease including cancer.

Not a recognized causative or associated contributor in the development of thyroid cancer. The number of such events by itself not suggestive of a possible predisposing activity.

No. I have seen no reports of this. But you could go to pubmed.gov and search for oral sex AND thyroid cancer. Must be an old wives tale. Or old husbands tale.

No. Oral sex is not associated with thyroid cancer. However HPV infection transmitted through oral sex can cause throat cancer.
