Most women diagnosed with precancerous changes in the cervix are in their 20s and 30s, but the average age of women when they are diagnosed with cervical cancer is the mid 50s. It isn\u2019t clear what causes cervical cancer, but it\u2019s certain that HPV plays a role. Forms of HPV, a virus whose different types cause skin warts, genital warts, and other abnormal skin disorders, have been shown to lead to many of the changes in cervical cells that may eventually lead to cancer. Certain types of HPV have also been linked to cancers involving the vulva, vagina, penis, anus, tongue, and tonsils. Genetic material that comes from certain forms of HPV (high-risk subtypes) has been found in cervical tissues that show cancerous or precancerous changes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1573112482092{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column el_id=”section-B”][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Signs and Symptoms” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30|text_align:center|color:%235e3327|line_height:1.8″ google_fonts=”font_family:Noto%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”3″ el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#ffa800″ css=”.vc_custom_1627712052414{margin-bottom: 25px !important;}” el_class=”separator-margin”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6231″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1743409029218{padding-top: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
