Researches found that the risk is increased by almost 80%
Your risk of cancer may be increased by up to five times due to a nearly unheard of STI, according to researchers.
Researchers analysed almost half a million women with Trich, finding that 80 per cent of those were more likely to have HPV. Doctor Balázs Hamar, lead researcher and expert in obstetrics and gynaecology at Semmelweis University in Budapest, said: "This is because the infection causes the inflammation and abruption of the cervical epithelium/cervix, providing a favourable environment for pathogens such as HPV."
Around 850 women across the UK lose their life to cervical cancer every year, meaning it is vital to get check if you think you may have the STI to ensure your risk of disease is not increased.
