Every month, women face a period called menstruation or menstruation. During this menstrual period, there is one item that must be carried everywhere, namely pads. By using pads, women's activities during menstruation become more comfortable because menstrual blood can be properly accommodated in them.
However, it cannot be denied that society also has various myths about sanitary napkins. One of them is that using pads can cause infertility, even cervical cancer. Is that true? Many of these myths make many women wonder, which one should actually be believed? Come on, let's find out the facts below!
Can Pads Really Cause Cervical Cancer?
Don't fall for the scary myth that pads can cause cervical cancer. Actually, this assumption is not entirely true and can be trusted.
However, it is important for us to pay attention to the use of pads wisely. If pads are used for too long and are not replaced immediately when they are full of menstrual blood, they can cause moisture in the vaginal area. This moisture can in turn create ideal conditions for the HPV virus to multiply in women who have recently been exposed to the virus.
Therefore, it is important for every woman to prioritize cleanliness and health when using pads. Always change pads regularly and choose products that suit your body's needs.
Using Sanitary Pads Can Trigger Infertility
Many people believe in the myth that using pads during menstruation can cause infertility, but this claim has no scientific basis. Therefore, you don't need to worry or doubt about using pads during menstruation. The most important thing is to maintain good hygiene and health when using these pads.
Causes of Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is a serious problem that needs to be properly understood. To help clarify some of the myths circulating regarding the use of pads, here are some risk factors that you need to be aware of:
1. Infected by HPV
Most cases of cervical cancer occur due to high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV is a group of viruses that generally infect the mucosa and skin. This virus can be transmitted through sexual contact, one of which is skin contact.
2. Unhealthy Lifestyle
An unhealthy lifestyle is one of the causes of cervical cancer in women. Irregular eating patterns and unbalanced nutritional intake, such as a lack of vegetable and fruit intake, can increase the risk. In addition, smoking habits are also another factor that contributes to an increased risk of cervical cancer. Smoking can cause damage to the body and trigger abnormal cell changes.
3. History of Sexual Activity
Some history of sexual activity can increase the risk of cervical cancer in women related to the transmission of HPV infection. For example, having sex at an early age and frequently changing partners can put you at risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection.
4. Long-term Use of Birth Control Pills
Birth control pills can be used as a means of contraception to delay pregnancy. However, it is important to remember that using birth control pills for a long time, especially more than 5 years, can increase the risk of cervical cancer.
5. Weak Immune System
An optimal immune system is essential for fighting cancer cells or slowing down the development of cancer cells. Women with HIV/AIDS, taking drugs that suppress the immune system, or have a history of autoimmune diseases are more at risk of developing cervical cancer because of a weak immune system.
6. Pregnancy at a Young Age
Women who become pregnant at a young age, especially under the age of 20, have a higher risk of developing cervical cancer in the future compared to women who become pregnant at the age of 25 or older.
It is important to understand the causes of cervical cancer so that you can take the right preventive steps. In addition, make sure you regularly change pads during your period to avoid the development of viruses and diseases that can endanger your health.
