I've read about the Tell Someone About Cervical Cancer campaign in the newspapers a couple of times and wanted to do my part to "tell someone" through this blog...until today. So, this is my contribution to telling someone, and that's you. Tell others, so that more people would be aware of this 2nd most common cancer amongst women in Malaysia.
Human Papillomavirus is a common virus that affects both females and males. There are more than 100 different types of HPV. Certain types of HPV cause common warts on hands and feet. Most types of HPV do not cause any signs or symptoms, and go away without treatment.
Cervical cancer is a serious disease that can be life threatening. When a woman becomes infected with certain types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and does not clear the infection, abnormal cells can develop in the lining of the cervix.
