HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) has been linked to a higher incidence of anal cancer in males and females. Whether or not you are having sex, of any kind, will not affect your likelihood of developing anal cancer as it relates to HPV. What matters is that you were infected with the virus previously. If you have contracted HPV it may be a good idea to have regular screenings called Anal Pap Smears.

However, in this particular instance and all others affecting your health, you should consult a healthcare professional. If you are embarrassed by the nature of you affliction, you can always get anonymous care at a free clinic. Either way, this is something you should talk to a medical doctor about.

Can a dog die from impacted anal glad?

I guess if left long enough without expressing or treating the impacted anal glands and if infected, it might take their lives. Learn how to express your dog's anal glands from a groomer or your Veterinarian. If they are infected then you need to take your pet to your Vet to be checked out and have them expressed by the Vet. This can be very painful to your pet if left untreated.

Does it smell when a dogs anal glands drain?

Yes it does. You should take your dog in to your Veterinarian to have the anal glands checked out and expressed too. You want to make sure they are not infected. The Vet can then show you how to express your own pet's anal glands yourself. Normally a dog will naturally express the anal glands on their own by just exercising but sometimes the older & fatter dogs that are in the house constantly will end up with blocked anal glands or draining glands that smell to high heaven. You need to learn how to express them yourself but first make sure there is not an infection present.

What type of cancer does a pap smear test for?

A pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. It can't diagnose cancer, but can determine which women need further testing. Occasionally, the pap smear can happen to find signs of endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterine lining), but a normal test doesn't eliminate the possibility of endometrial cancer. The Pap smear process can also check for cancer of the vagina or anal cancer, but it is used for those purposes only in specific circumstances. A pap smear does not check for ovarian cancer.
