Feeling stressed out linked to cervical cancer (2)
I read it today and found it informative so thought to share with the community ..

Feeling stressed could play a role in the development of cervical cancer, a new report suggests.

But experts say the findings are still preliminary and it's too soon to rush out and enroll in a stress-management course in hopes of combating the disease.

The human papillomavirus (HPV) has long been known as the primary cause of cervical cancer, but the virus alone doesn't seem to be enough to induce the disease. Most sexually active women will contract HPV at some point in their lives, but 90 percent will clear the virus from their body before it causes any damage, suggesting other factors are at play in the unfortunate minority who eventually develop cervical cancer.
