No, it does not runs in families. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the main reason and sexual contact is how this virus gets around. However, the risk may be slightly increased if cervical cancer is a family history. This could be the result of a shared lifestyle or a genetic predisposition to HPV. For early detection, regular health exams and Pap smears are essential. Additionally, getting the HPV vaccine can lower the risk. Keeping clean and using safe sexual practices are important ways to avoid getting sick. Basically, having a family member with cervical cancer may slightly raise your chance, even though HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer. It’s very important to stay educated and take precautions.
