Be careful of cancer if you have sex at this age

In the past, cervical cancer was more common in women around 50 years old. Therefore, patients under the age of 35 were medically referred to as "young cervical cancer patients." Today, the standard of "youth" is no longer young. The number of young women in their twenties and thirties suffering from cervical cancer has increased significantly, and a considerable number of patients are already in the middle and late stages of cervical cancer when they are first diagnosed.

1. Having sex early without "preparing"

Chen Qing said: "The younger the age of first sexual intercourse, the more sexual partners one has and the higher the frequency, the higher the incidence of cervical cancer." Studies have found that those who have first sexual intercourse before the age of 15 have a 10 times higher risk of developing cervical cancer than normal people. He explained: "The cervical tissue cells of young girls have not yet fully matured, are relatively tender and weak, have poor resistance to disease, are sensitive to external carcinogens and cancer-promoting substances, and are easily stimulated by carcinogens and become ill."

Therefore, if a girl starts having sexual intercourse before she matures, and her sexual partner is an HPV (human papillomavirus) carrier, the virus will infect the girl's immature cervical tissue. Therefore, it is not without reason that cervical cancer "affects" young girls. In recent years, the age at which young people have their first sexual intercourse has significantly decreased, and young people do not know how to use condoms correctly to protect themselves, making them susceptible to HPV infection.

2. The husband has more than two partners

Having multiple sexual partners is also a risk factor, and the risk of cervical cancer is proportional to the number of sexual partners. Statistical data show that people with 10 or more sexual partners have a relative risk of disease that is more than three times higher than those with only one sexual partner. This is because after sperm enters the vagina, it will produce a sperm antibody, which usually takes about four months to disappear. If sexual partners have too many sexual intercourses too frequently, multiple antibodies will be produced and enter the body in a short period of time, thus interfering with the antibody reaction that produces sperm antibodies, making it easy to develop cervical cancer.

In addition, the party at fault may also be the husband.

Studies have found that if a husband has more than two sexual partners, his wife's risk rate is five times that of a normal person.

In addition to sexual factors, cervical cancer may also occur from the mother. If women in their childbearing years are exposed to certain physical or chemical factors for a long time in their daily lives, their germ cells will be deformed and their offspring will often be prone to cancer after birth. For example, girls born to women who become pregnant during estrogen treatment are more likely to develop cervical adenocarcinoma later in life than are girls born to other women.
