Cervical cancer affects hundreds of thousands of women worldwide each year — but here’s the good news:

👉 It’s one of the most preventable cancers.

The primary cause? A common virus called HPV (human papillomavirus) — which is so widespread that most sexually active people will be exposed to it at some point.

While the body clears most infections on its own, some high-risk strains can lead to cervical changes that may progress to cancer over time — especially without regular screening.

And while only women can develop cervical cancer, prevention is not just her responsibility. 👉 Partners play a crucial role too.

Let’s explore how both men and women can work together to reduce risk — through awareness, vaccination, and care — not blame.

Because real protection isn’t about guilt. It’s about love, honesty, and shared health.

🔬 What Causes Cervical Cancer?


✅High-Risk HPV (Types 16 & 18)	Responsible for over 70% of cervical cancer cases
✅Lack of Screening	Pap smears and HPV tests detect early cell changes before they become cancerous
✅Smoking	Damages cervical cells and weakens the immune system’s ability to fight HPV
✅Weakened Immune System	HIV, long-term steroid use, or other conditions increase risk
