Can fungal infections like Candida can cause cervix cancer?


Can fungal infections like Candida can cause cervix cancer?

The American Cancer Society provides the following list of risk factors for cervical cancer: human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, smoking, HIV infection, chlamydia infection, dietary factors, hormonal contraception, multiple pregnancies, use of the hormonal drug diethylstilbestrol (DES) and a family history of cervical cancer.(Wikipedia)
Almost all cervical cancers are caused by HPV (human papillomavirus). HPV is a common virus that is spread through sexual intercourse. There are many different types of HPV, and many do not cause problems. However, only certain strains of HPV actually lead to cervical cancer. (Other strains may cause genital warts.)
Other risk factors for cervical cancer include:
* Having sex at an early age
* Multiple sexual partners
* Sexual partners who have multiple partners or who participate in high-risk sexual activities
* Women whose mothers took the drug DES (diethylstilbestrol) during pregnancy in the early 1970s to prevent miscarriage
* Long-term use of birth control pills (more than 5 years)
* Weakened immune system
* Infections with genital herpes or chronic chlamydia infections
* Poor economic status (may not be able to afford regular Pap smears)
(MedlinePlus)
Cervical cancer results from cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), which appears to be caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, or 39. Risk factors for cervical cancer include younger age at 1st intercourse, a high lifetime number of sex partners, and intercourse with men whose previous partners had cervical cancer. Other factors such as cigarette smoking and immunodeficiency also appear to contribute.(Merck)
Evidence of HPV is found in nearly all cervical cancers. However, HPV is a very common virus and most women with HPV never develop cervical cancer. This means other risk factors, such as your genetic makeup, your environment or your lifestyle choices, also determine whether you'll develop cervical cancer. (MayoClinic)
Please see the web pages for more details on Cervical cancer.

No. HPV has been associated with cervical cancer. Perhaps this is what you were thinking about.

No: there is NO connection between yeast infections & cancer. fyi: IT'S CALLED "Cervical Cancer".
