Cervical cancer is primarily caused by infection with specific types of human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a group of sexually transmitted viruses, and certain high-risk strains are known to increase the risk of cervical cancer. The most common high-risk HPV types associated with cervical cancer are HPV-16 and HPV-18. These viruses can lead to changes in cervical cells that, if left untreated, can progress to cancer over time.
It's important to note that not all HPV infections lead to cervical cancer. In most cases, the immune system clears the virus naturally, and the infection does not cause long-term harm. Regular cervical cancer screenings, such as Pap smears and HPV tests, can help detect early changes in cervical cells, allowing for timely intervention and the prevention of cervical cancer. Additionally, HPV vaccines are available and highly effective at preventing infection with the most common cancer-causing HPV types, providing significant protection against cervical cancer.

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.
