A member asked:
Can not wearing underwear cause cervical cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's through HPV inf: No, not wearing underwear (in and of itself) will not lead to cervical cancer. It is generally a complication of certain strains of HPV infection that is transmitted through sexual contact. Although HPV (human papillomavirus) is very common, only a few strains are believed to be related to cervical cancer. HPV more commonly cause genital warts.
