Now, let us shed more light on cervical cancer, its causes, symptoms, and other related issues.
How serious is cervical cancer?
The 5-year relative survival rates for cervical cancer are as follows: When cervical cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 91%. When cervical cancer is diagnosed after it has spread to nearby tissues, organs, or regional lymph nodes, the 5-year relative survival rate is 60%.
Please note that if they are discovered early, the likelihood of survival is higher than anything else. Make sure you test frequently, identify it, and treat it early.
How long can you have cervical cancer without knowing?
Cervical cancer develops very slowly. It can take years or even decades for the abnormal changes in the cervix to become invasive cancer cells. Cervical cancer might develop faster in people with weaker immune systems, but it will still likely take at least 5 years.

What does leg pain feel like with cervical cancer?

Can a man give a woman HPV?
You can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus. It is most commonly spread during vaginal or anal sex. It also spreads through close skin-to-skin touching during sex. A person with HPV can pass the infection on to someone even when they have no signs or symptoms.
Where does your back hurt with cervical cancer?

Early detection of cervical cancer usually leads to good progress.
Our human body has many intricate issues. However, we also have all the resources necessary to treat, prevent, and overcome any kind of health problem. During such a time, we just need to have the courage to get through a few difficulties.
The most important advice I can offer to all my IF members, friends, and loved ones who are helping someone they love through a medical condition is to be courageous, persistent, and patient. There's no need to panic; we all have excellent survival instincts.
