HPV and Cervical Cancer: What Every Woman Should Know

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common virus. In fact, most people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their lives, often without knowing it.

While many HPV infections clear on their own, persistent infection with certain high-risk types of HPV can increase the risk of developing cervical cancer.

The encouraging news is that cervical cancer is one of the few cancers that can often be prevented through:

✔ HPV vaccination

✔ Regular cervical screening

✔ Early treatment of abnormal cell changes

💡 Did you know?

Most HPV infections cause no symptoms. This is why screening and vaccination remain important even when you feel healthy.

Protecting your health starts with awareness and early action.

Understanding Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in Nigeria. The good news is that it can often be prevented through vaccination, regular screening, and early treatment.

One important fact many people don't know is that cervical cancer often develops without obvious symptoms in its early stages. This is why routine screening is so important, it can detect changes before cancer develops or identify the disease early when treatment is most effective.

💡 Did you know?
Almost all cases of cervical cancer are linked to persistent infection with certain types of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV vaccination and regular cervical screening are powerful tools in preventing the disease.

Many women know they should examine their breasts, but fewer know when to do it.

If you still have menstrual periods, the best time to perform a breast self-examination is 3–5 days after your period ends, when your breasts are less likely to be swollen or tender.

If you no longer have periods, choose one day each month and make it part of your routine.

When checking your breasts, look for:
• A new lump or thickening
• Changes in breast size or shape
• Ni**le discharge
• Skin dimpling or changes

💡 Did you know?

Most breast lumps are **not** cancer. However, every new lump should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

Knowing your body is an important part of protecting your health.

• Ni**le discharge
• Changes to the skin of the breast

🔍 Did you know?

Many people believe that if a health problem is not painful, it is not serious.

However, many cancers do not cause pain in their early stages.

This is one reason why regular screening and paying attention to changes in your body are so important.

Do not ignore:
• Unusual lumps or swelling
• Persistent cough
• Unexplained weight loss
• Abnormal bleeding
• Symptoms that do not go away

Early action can lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatment outcomes.

Many people believe screening is only necessary when they feel unwell.

In reality, some cancers may not show obvious symptoms in their early stages. This is why screening is so important.

Early screening can help:

• Detect certain cancers before symptoms appear
• Improve treatment outcomes
• Reduce complications
• Provide peace of mind

Taking a proactive approach to your health could make a significant difference.

⚠️ 5 Warning Signs You Should Never Ignore

Your body often gives signals when something is wrong. While these symptoms do not automatically mean cancer, they should not be ignored, especially when they persist or worsen over time.

Some warning signs include:

• Unusual lumps or swelling
• Unexplained weight loss
• Persistent pain
• Abnormal bleeding
• A persistent cough

One important fact many people do not realise is that cancer does not always cause pain in its early stages.

Waiting until symptoms become severe may delay diagnosis and treatment. Paying attention to changes in your body and seeking medical advice early can make a significant difference.

If something feels unusual or does not go away, speak with a healthcare professional.

Early detection saves lives.

Follow NCOP throughout June as we share practical information on cancer awareness, prevention, screening, and treatment support.

June is a new month and an opportunity to prioritise our health💪

One of the most important messages in cancer care is simple: early detection saves lives.

Many cancers can be treated more successfully when they are discovered early. Unfortunately, many people delay seeking medical attention because they ignore symptoms, fear a diagnosis, or do not know the warning signs to look out for.

Pay attention to your body. If you notice unusual changes such as persistent pain, unexplained weight loss, abnormal bleeding, a lump, or symptoms that do not go away, speak with a healthcare professional.

This month, NCOP will be sharing information on cancer awareness, prevention, screening, treatment support, and available resources to help Nigerians make informed health decisions.

Together, we can promote early detection and save lives.

Cancer Can Be Treated. Early Action Saves Lives.

Many cancers can be treated successfully when detected early. Paying attention to unusual symptoms and going for regular screenings can make a life-saving difference.

Do not ignore persistent lumps, unusual bleeding, unexplained weight loss, or changes in your body.

Early detection saves lives.
