WEIGHT LOSS

Loss of appetite and weight accompanies most types of cancer. In the case of cervical cancer, the swollen cervix puts pressure on the stomach, leading to appetite and weight loss.

Note: It’s very important to have in mind that these symptoms can also be produced by other conditions. However, reporting them to your gynecologist is vital for early detection.

There are numerous risk factors that can lead to contracting an HPV infection, found in both men and women.

The best-known risk factors for cervical cancer are:

Smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke

Having multiple sexual partners

Having unprotected sex

Having low immunity

As the article mentioned earlier, an HPV infection is the root cause of cervical cancer, so being able to read the warning signs and symptoms of HPV is critical for this cancer. Having regular Pap smear tests once or twice a year also increases your chances of early detection.

Don’t skip the visits to your gynecologist! They may save your life!
