Cervical cancer is primarily caused by persistent infection with high-risk strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted virus. It develops slowly and may not show symptoms in early stages, but as it progresses, signs can include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, and unusual discharge. The best preventive measure is the HPV vaccine, which protects against the most cancer-causing strains of the virus. The vaccination is typically administered in two or three doses over six months, depending on the recipient’s age. It is most effective when given before exposure to HPV, usually recommended for girls and boys between 9 and 14 years old. Dr. Munisha Sharma, a renowned expert in gynecologic care, strongly advocates for cervical cancer vaccination as a crucial step in prevention. With her guidance, many individuals receive timely vaccination, reducing their risk of developing cervical cancer and ensuring long-term reproductive health.
