Ziqitza Healthcare - Cervical Cancer Awareness Facts VS Myths
                     Ziqitza Healthcare - Cervical Cancer Awareness: 
Facts VS Myths
Despite all the advancements that medical science has 
made over the years, cancer still holds a lot of interest. It's 
surrounded with prejudice and erroneous ideas in addition 
to fear. The same applies to cervical cancer. We lack 
awareness-raising initiatives for the condition, despite the 
fact that it is common in developing nations like India. 
 
Dispelling the myths around any condition, according to 
Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd, is the first step in raising awareness 
of it. Ziqitza is one of India's leading emergency healthcare 
service providers.  Let's look at some common 
misconceptions about cervical cancer, dispel them all, and 
learn the truth. By doing so, it will be possible to effectively 
raise awareness of cervical cancer and put light on the 
condition.
Myth#1
Pap tests must be performed annually.
 Fact: As per Ziqitza Healthcare, the truth is that you don't 
need to choose an annual Pap test if your Pap test and HPV 
test, specific cervical cancer guidelines recommend Pap testing 
for her.
 
Pap test every three years for people aged 21 to 29.
Pap and HPV tests every five years for people aged 30 to 64.
Ages 65 and up: Consult your doctor about whether you should 
continue the tests.
 
Myth#2
HPV is uncommon, and it affects people who have multiple 
partners; I don't need to get the HPV vaccine or a Pap test.
  Fact: Ziqitza Rajasthan says that it couldn't be further from 
the truth. HPV is widespread, affecting 80% of men and women 
Myth#3
HPV disappears on its own.
 
Fact: While this is true in some cases, ZHL Rajasthan claims that 
making such assumptions is risky. In some cases, HPV infection 
persists, resulting in serious health problems such as genital 
warts and various types of cancer.
 
Myth#4
Because I had cervical cancer, I can’t have children.
 
Fact: A hysterectomy, radiation, and chemotherapy are all used 
during treatment. However, there are many treatment options 
available today that can cure a patient while also allowing her to 
have children

Myth#5
Cervical cancer is hereditary.
 
Facts: Cervical cancer, unlike breast or ovarian cancer, 
does not run in families, according to 
Ziqitza Limited Rajasthan. It is caused by HPV, and the 
best way to avoid it is to get vaccinated or to have regular 
Pap or HPV tests.
 
Myth#6
Cervical cancer has no known cause.
 
Fact: Cervical cancer is caused by the HPV virus, which is 
always transmitted sexually.
Myth#7
If you have HPV, you will almost certainly develop cervical cancer.
 
Fact: According to Ziqitza Health Care Limited, this is not always the 
case. There are over 100 HPV virus strains, and only a few of them 
cause cervical cancer. In most cases, the virus is eliminated by the 
body's immune system within two years. In some cases, however, 
the virus persists and causes the cells in the cervix to grow 
abnormally, leading to cervical cancer.
 
In reality, having HPV does not increase your risk of developing 
cervical cancer. At some time in their life, most women will be 
exposed to HPV, and for most of them, infections with HPV will 
disappear without any complications. But in other women, the 
infection lasts for a long time and results in the formation of 
abnormal cells, which can later lead to cervical cancer. 
Myth#8
I don't need to be screened because I don't have any 
symptoms.
 
Fact: There are no symptoms associated with 
abnormal cell growth. Screening is also recommended 
to detect any anomalies.
 
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer to 
affect women. Women can reduce their risk of 
developing cervical cancer by taking preventive steps 
including immunisation and routine screening.
