Every year 13,000 people are diagnosed with cervical cancer in the United States alone. Approximately 1 in 20,923 Americans are diagnosed with cervical cancer. It was estimated that in 2009 11,300 women would be diagnosed and 4,100 women would have died from cervical cancer in the United States. Thanks to current screening technology and practices there has been a considerable decline over the past 40 years in the number of cases of cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer is most commonly caused by Human Papillomavirus. HPV infections cause unusual changes to the cells of the cervix and may possibly lead to cervical cancer. Most HPV infections in young women are short-lasting and are not significant in the long run. 70 percent of infections have vanished in one year and 90 percent in two years. Only between five and ten percent of women diagnosed with HPV do not lost the infection and are vulnerable to cervical precancer, which may develop into cervical cancer. There is no way to know which people who are diagnosed with HPV develop any cancers (or other health problems) before the cancer begins developing. The process takes about 15 to 20 years dependent upon treatment and opportunities for detection. If cervical precancer is caught in its early stages it is most often easily cured. It is advised that women get regular screenings for cervical cancer. Screenings find early signs of diseases so that that issues can be addressed and solved before they progress into cancer.
HPV is the most common the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). It affects 50 to 85 percent of all sexually active people. HPV is transferred by any type of sexual contact. To lessen one’s chances of contracting HPV, decrease the number of sexual partners and use protection, such as condoms.
Gardasil is a widely available vaccination which presents protection from four types of HPV. These four particular types cause 60 to 70 percent of all problems related to either cervical cancer, or genital warts. The best age to get your 1st of 3 doses of the Gardasil vaccination is between the age of 11 and 12.
