The chances of getting Cervical cancer if you have only had one sexual partner are very lowe. As a general rule, the more partners you have, the greater chance of getting cervical cancer. However, if your one partner has had sex with many others partners, that is almost the same as your having had sex with many other partners. Also, the age when you started having sex may be significant. Young girls who start having sex early may have their cervix damaged by the intercourse. Please remember that not 100% of cervical cancer is caused by STD's. Please do have routine pap smears even if you have never had sex.

∙ 17y agoThe chances of a young woman with very few sexual partners getting cervical cancer is very low. Scientists now believe that nearly all cervical cancer is caused by HPV, a sexually-transmitted infection. The fewer sexual partners, the less of a chance of HPV. However, the age at which you started having sex can be relevant. Starting having sex as a young teen increases your chances of later developing cervical cancer. Furthermore, note that even if you have only had one or two sexual partners, if those men have had many partners that is essentially the same as your having had many partners.

∙ 14y agoIt is the 3rd most common cancer and the vaccination can save 100s of lives a year!
I had my jab yesterday! I am 12 nearly 13! I am in year 8! you can have it at any age between 12 years old (in year 8) and 18 years old!
I was petrified before having it - my friends who had it before me didn't help! they were crying and everything and they had already had it! me and my bff were crying and on the way to the room to get it a lady said that we should both go to the nurses room and waited for ages (around an hour and a half) then we got it! one of our other bffs had had it earlier and was with us the whole time we were waiting! then we went at the end and i felt a absalute twit! it didn't hurt at all! plus i got a free biscuit!
it didn't hurt at all! the only negative points about it was -
that you worry and feel horrible before it
your arm hurts if you move it after (mine is stiff today) which is why i had the day off!

∙ 13y agoIf you are sexually active and not using protection you can contract a type of HPV that will cause abnormal cell growth no matter your age. Your best defense against HPV if you are sexually active is to use protection and receive the necessary shots from your doctor to help prevent it. If you are healthy and have regular OBGYN check ups you should be fine. However, if it runs in your family you may want to keep an eye on yourself and let your doctor know about any family medical history.

How does one minimize concerns of cervical cancer?
HPV infections have been shown to increase chances of cervical cancer, so getting vaccinated against HPV is one way. Using condoms can help prevent not only cervical cancer, but many STDs as well. Not smoking and eating a diet full of fruits and vegetables can cut risk of all types of cancer and many other diseases.
What are the chances of getting cervical cancer after a LEEP procedure and having had the HPV vaccine?
They are much lower than if you hadn't had the LEEP and HPV vaccine, but I don't know of any studies that can suggest a percentage risk for your situation.
What causes cervical cancers?
Most cervical cancer cases are apparently caused by strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. You can limit your chances of getting HPV through having fewer sexual partners, and fewer partners who have had many other partners. Starting having sex later in life also limits your chances of developing cervical cancer. The cervix of a young girl is more susceptible to damage from sex. Smoking also has some connection to cervical cancer, but it is not clearly understood. Smokers do have an increased chance of getting cervical cancer. There may also be a link between cervical cancer and receiving estrogen treatment for menopause. In the past, the hormone estrogren was used alone. Now it is combined with progesterone. When used alone, estrogren increases the risk of cancer.
Do some viruses cause cancer?
HPV is widely accepted as a cause of certain types of cancers, including cervical and some throat cancers. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus. Not all HPV types are thought to be "high risk" types. A "high risk" HPV is more likely to lead to cancer if left untreated. Currently most pap tests also include an HPV test. It is important to know that HPV is very common, but cervical cancer rates remain relatively low in the United States. With proper follow up and treatment from a medical professional, the chances of getting cervical cancer are low, even if HPV positive.

You can't get cervical cancer after your cervix is removed, but you can have residual cancer or HPV infection in the vagina. But it is not necessary or desirable to have a hysterectomy due to high-risk HPV. Simple monitorning is sufficient for most people. If treatment is needed for high-risk HPV, it's because the Pap smear or biopsy was abnormal. It takes many years for HPV infection to cause cervical cancer, and most people will control the virus without ever getting cancer.
