Can NuvaRing cause cervical cancer?
The studies suggest that it increases the risk of cervical cancer, and more cases of cervical cancer surfaced during the studies. However, they are labeled non-conclusive. I have personal experience, though. I have cervical cancer with a negative HPV test - meaning I do not have HPV but still managed to get cervical cancer. I used the NuvaRing just under a year ago. I have no other causes for it - I do not smoke, I am not overweight, I do not have a weakened immune system, etc. The only factor that I had was the NuvaRing. I am not sure how doctors go about linking a diagnosis with a cause but there is not a doubt in my mind that this was caused by the NuvaRing.
Married young soon to be a mother and have been diagnosed with cervical cancer is it safe to still have sex?
First, it is important to make sure the word "cancer" was used by your doctor. Far too often patients hear that they have a precancerous lesion and take this to mean that they have cancer. But if you do have cancer, it is still safe to have sex. Know that cervical cancer is caused by a viral infection called HPV which is spread sexually, so if your partner is not affected, it is essential that a condom is used.
Is there another exam that substitutes the pap smear?
At this time (2014), the pap smear is still the easiest way to be screened for cervical cancer. By the end of 2015, it's likely that some women will be screened for cervical cancer with a high-risk HPV test instead.
After you have cervical cancer are you immune to it?
Having had cervical cancer does not confer immunity to future occurrences of the disease. Cervical cancer is typically caused by persistent infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV), especially high-risk strains such as HPV 16 and 18. While the body's immune system can clear the virus in many cases, some individuals may not fully eliminate the infection, leading to an increased risk of cervical cancer. Treatment for cervical cancer, such as surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy, is aimed at eliminating or controlling the cancerous cells. However, it does not guarantee immunity against future HPV infections or cervical cancer. Preventive measures such as HPV vaccination are crucial in reducing the risk of cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine is most effective when administered before sexual activity begins and potential exposure to the virus occurs. It is recommended for both males and females to provide protection against several HPV strains, including those associated with cervical cancer. Regular cervical cancer screenings, such as Pap smears and HPV testing, are also important for early detection and intervention. Women who have had cervical cancer may still need ongoing monitoring and screening as part of their post-treatment care to detect any potential recurrence or new developments. It's essential for individuals who have had cervical cancer to maintain open communication with their healthcare providers for personalized guidance on follow-up care and preventive measures.
Can you still get pregnant after cryosurgery for cervical cancer?

Do you need to go for cervical smears if you have had the HPV vaccine?
Yes, you do. The HPV vaccine is excellent and covers many strains of the HPV virus, and the strains included in the shot are the ones most likely to cause cervical cancer. It is very, very effective. But you need PAP smears still because: 1. Not all strains of HPV are in the vaccine, so even though it would be rare you could still get a form of HPV and go on to develop cervical cancer. 2. Not all cervical cancers are caused by HPV (though many are).
