Cervical Cancer: Why Women Need To Be Vaccinated

The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the most common factor that causes cervical cancer among women. This virus usually takes 15-20 years from the contraction stage to cancer development. Individuals diagnosed with cervical cancer develop a precancerous condition called dysplasia which, when left untreated, leads to cancer.

Most women contract this virus during their reproductive age with or without any symptoms. Most HPV infections clear without any interventions within two years. Only when the virus integrates with the cells, it progresses to cervical cancer, making regular screening and vaccination essential for women.
