If someone is a virgin all their life does that cause cancer?

Virginity does not cause cancer. However, a virgin may develop cancer like anyone else at similar rates to those within the same ethnic group.

No. Virginity is not a cause of cancer. But virgins can get cancers . You can reduce your risk of cancer by adopting healthy habits: Eat a mostly vegetarian diet, avoid alcohol, tobacco and street drugs, avoid excessive exposure to sun, exercise 30 minutes each day, drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless.
