Top 5 Tips to Beat the Symptoms of Cervical Disorder
Cervical disorder or disorder of the cervix refers to the abnormal growth of cells on the inner lining of the cervix, which is the opening to the uterus. Depending on the extent of abnormal cell growth, this condition is categorized into low-grade, mild and high grade. What makes this condition life-threatening is the fact that if no proper treatment is taken, these abnormal cells might turn cancerous causing cervical cancer. The major cause of cervical disorder is the infection caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which is transmitted through sexual contact.
Though most HPV infections are not serious and may not turn cancerous, there is a possibility that some may due to unknown factors. This problem is found mainly in teenagers and young women who are sexually active.
