Your Sex Life and Cervical Cancer

Treatment for cervical cancer can have an effect on your sex life. If you have not yet had your menopause you might find that your treatment brings on an early menopause. This will happen if you have: external radiotherapy your ovaries removed with surgery Your surgeon might suggest leaving your ovaries behind if you haven’t had your menopause, but that is not always possible.

About Cervical Cancer

Cancer of the cervix is relatively rare, accounting for less than 1 percent of all new cancer diagnoses. The American Cancer Society estimates 13,800 new cases of cervical cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2020. What causes cervical cancer? The cervix is a small, narrow, tube-like organ at the bottom of the uterus that connects to the vagina.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 90 percent of all cervical cancers are caused by a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Not every woman who has HPV will develop a cervical tumor, though treatment with the HPV vaccine is known to help prevent cancer of the cervix. Who gets cervical cancer? Unlike most…

Story of Mary Lewis After a radical hysterectomy, the last thing on your mind would be sex, right? Looking back, it was probably on my mind a lot more than I realised. I was 36 and my husband was 32 when my routine smear found that I had cervical cancer. It was 27 October 2009 and we had been married for just over two years after 16 years as a couple. We had a 15-year-old son and the diagnosis meant we would have no more children. We had been through many miscarriages so having more children wasn’t meant to be. However, when you’re told you can’t have something, you suddenly start thinking that you want it. It took maybe a 10-minute discussion to decide that we needed me healthy and thinking about having eggs frozen wasn’t important. “Sex was an important part of our relationship” We were still relatively young…

According to the Centers for Disease Control, each year more than 11,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with cervical cancer, and for some it will be too late to receive effective treatment. What causes cervical cancer? Cervical cancer is almost always caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) — the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. Affecting approximately 79 million Americans, HPV can be detected in 93 percent of all cervical cancers. Yet the virus alone is not sufficient to cause cervical cancer. Other contributing factors include the following: Smoking Poor nutrition A weakened immune system Pregnancy “HPV is very common; up to 80 percent of sexually active people have been exposed at some point in their lives,” says Summer Dewdney, MD,…
