What are the Causes of Cervical Cancer? | Insights from Dr. Samiya Tul Rasool

Cervical cancer, commonly known as Bache Dani Ka Cancer in Urdu, is a growing health concern among women worldwide. It affects the cervix—the lower part of the uterus—and is often caused by long-term infections and other preventable risk factors. In this blog, Dr. Samiya Tul Rasool, an experienced gynecologist, shares valuable insights into the causes, risks, and prevention of cervical cancer, helping women take proactive steps toward better reproductive health.

📌 Understanding Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer develops when abnormal cells in the cervix grow uncontrollably. It is a slow-progressing disease, which means early detection through regular screenings can significantly reduce the risk of severe complications or death

🔍 What Causes Cervical Cancer?

Dr. Samiya Tul Rasool explains that the primary cause of cervical cancer is persistent infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV). However, there are other contributing factors:

1. HPV Infection

• The most common and high-risk strains of HPV are transmitted through sexual contact.

• Not all HPV infections lead to cancer, but persistent infection with certain strains can damage cervical cells over time.

2. Multiple Sexual Partners

• Increases the risk of exposure to HPV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which can damage cervical tissues.

3. Smoking

• Tobacco contains chemicals that weaken the immune system and contribute to the development of abnormal cervical cells.

4. Weakened Immune System

• Conditions like HIV or long-term use of immunosuppressive medications can make it harder for the body to fight off HPV infections.

5. Poor Hygiene and Lack of Regular Screenings

• Not getting regular Pap smears or HPV tests may delay diagnosis and treatment. 

  👩⚕️ Dr. Samiya’s Advice: Prevention is Better Than Cure

  Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer, and early detection can save lives. Dr. Samiya recommends:

  ✅ Regular Pap Smears and HPV Testing
  ✅ HPV Vaccination (for both girls and boys)
  ✅ Safe sexual practices
  ✅ Quitting smoking
  ✅ Maintaining good personal hygiene and health awareness
