An occasional medical study has shown that uncircumcised male partners may increase the risk. Finally, some cervical cancers appear to be caused by sexual transmission of the human papilloma virus and herpes virus type 2. More advanced cases may require extensive surgery, such as hysterectomy, to remove malignant tissue. X-ray therapy, with or without surgery, is frequently effective. Like many cancers, cervical malignancies are much easier to treat when discovered early.
Cervical cancer is, in the main, easy to diagnose and early treatment is almost always successful.
Yes, it is. The reasons are not entirely clear, but the current theory is that our brains progressively shrink as we age because of tiny blood clots that progressively and inexorably affect the cerebral cortex, causing death of brain tissue and a condition called cerebral atrophy. Moreover, some elderly adults seem to be more affected than others. Many authorities recommend a daily aspirin to retard this consequence of the aging process. The drug increases the slipperiness of the blood, preventing the formation of blood clots in arteries.
