Introduction
HPV (human papillomavirus) infection can lead to cervical cancer. Long-term smoking increases the risk of cervical cancer. Early childbirth, multiple vaginal deliveries, difficult labor, or repeated induced abortions may allow pathogens such as Chlamydia trachomatis, herpes simplex virus, and Trichomonas to continuously invade and infect the genital organs, causing squamous metaplasia and abnormal proliferation in the cervical transformation zone, ultimately leading to cervical cancer.
In general, HPV refers to human papillomavirus, and cervical cancer may still develop even in the absence of HPV infection. Besides HPV infection, cervical cancer can also be caused by other factors. The detailed analysis is as follows:
Women who smoke over a long period have an increased risk of developing cervical cancer. Additionally, early childbirth, multiple vaginal deliveries, difficult labor, or repeated induced abortions may allow pathogens such as Chlamydia trachomatis, herpes simplex virus, and Trichomonas to continuously invade and infect the genital organs. This can lead to squamous metaplasia and abnormal proliferation in the cervical transformation zone, ultimately resulting in cervical cancer.
Patients are advised to undergo regular HPV screening at hospitals and must ensure early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment to avoid delays in managing the condition.
