Cervical cancer
Hi Docs,
I have been suffering from heavy mensuration problem from starting which was very painful during my teenage. After constant treatment I got to know I have PCO-s. Now at this age I got to know I have cervical cancer. Is cervical cancer can happen only due to HPV virus or it can happen due to over bleeding during teenage. No history of family cancer present. I'm a non smoker as well. Plz suggest. Is Hpv only reason for cervical cancer?

Hello. HPV is the "main" causative factor found in over 90% of females suffering from cervical cancer. Heavy menstruation maybe a symptom of cervical cancer but usually after 40-45 years of age. Heavy menstruation during teenage may be due to other unrelated causes and is not causative for cervical cancer.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
