Is there a high risk I could get Cervical Cancer? |
My mother died of Cervical Cancer when I was 10, and this is where it gets confusing, you see my father told me that my mother was have a a sign of bleeding that won't stop for a month and she finally got a check up (this was way back at 1998) and the doctors say she had Cervical Cancer, but the doctors don't "How" she got it, so it means it could be HPV,Clamiydia, etc. and I do know that there are many ways to get Cervical Cancer. I was Wondering is there a high risk I could get it? I'm really scared and I'm not open to my father about my point of views because he doesn't like to talk about it and its really keeping me thinking. I have done lots of researches over the internet that pasting it to child or relative is very rare, but that doesnt mean I wont get it..........Please I really dont know what to do and I'm still depress over my moms death Talk to a doctor there is a test they can do, especially as your mom died of this. Talk to your dad about arranging a docs visit. relax. this is a 100% avoidable with a little common sense. all you need to do is make sure you have your exams down there like all teens should. about once a year if you don't know. your dad can make an apointment for a "check-up" and the doctor will keep in privite for you. this is a situation where mostly older woman get this not younger, although some have. you will find that those that do at a younger age do not take care of themselves or use unsafe procedures when having sexual relations. this is not always true, but its about 99% true. i hope this helps. if you google .. cervical cancer awarness ... you will find support teams that will help you. another dad who has daughters from 38 to 22. Don't be afraid. You wouldn't "catch" cervical cancer from your mom. You should discuss this with a doctor or nurse who can explain this and answer your questions Generally speaking, some women who have had undiagnosed HPV have gone on to have cervical cancer. Many people, most male and female, have HPV and are never bothered by it and may not even know they have it. It is often resolved by itself. In order to develop cervical cancer in this way, you have to have HPV first. Your father is being selfish and unfair to you by refusing to talk about it. I expect it's because of his own pain. There is a new HPV vaccine that is recommended for females over the age of 13. Tell you father and ask him to make a doctor's appointment for you. With a maternal (mother's side) history of HPV and cervical cancer, you may be eligible. Best of luck to you. I'm a nurse. Cervical cancer is NOT hereditary. Yes, it can be caused by HPV but not always. It's extremely important what women have regular pap tests done, especially if you are sexually active, or there is a history of this type of cancer in your family. Anything abnormal about your menstrual cycle should be reported to your doctor. Family physicians are fine, but when it comes to female reproductive issues, a Gynaecologist is the Dr. to see. They ARE specialists in this field. I'm sorry your Mother died from cervical cancer. This is one of the most curable forms of cancer. Like any other cancers, when detected early, there's an excellent chance of a cure. Ask yourself these questions..'why' was cervical cancer discovered in your mother in it's advanced stage?..Did she have regular annual checkups? If not, WHY not? Do yourself the biggest favor and discuss your concerns with the Dr. |
