Estrogen may be associated with virus implicated in cervical cancer.
2002 JUL 9 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The female hormone estrogen may have a role in human papillomavirus (HPV) viral infection, strains of which are implicated in cervical cancer, shows research in Sexually Transmitted Infections.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a common genital infection seen most often in young women and adolescents. There are often no visible signs of infection.
Researchers tested 175 sexually active women for HPV infection during routine examinations at a sexual health clinic. The women were all ages between 14 and 44. More than half were younger than 25.
They also investigated how many estrogen receptors were present in the cervix. The women also completed a questionnaire, detailing their sexual and menstrual histories.
Four out of 10 women tested positive for HPV, mostly HPV 16, the strain linked to cervical cancer. Six women had two strains, and one had three. The younger the woman, the greater was her risk of infection. But starting sex at an early age was not a high risk factor for ...
