Abstract

Cervical cancer among young women refers to the occurrence of cervical cancer in individuals who are in their
younger age groups, typically ranging from late teenage years to their 20s or early 30s. While cervical cancer is
more commonly diagnosed in older women, it can still affect young women, albeit at a lower frequency. Cervical
cancer is a significant concern among young women, although it is more commonly diagnosed in older age
groups. While the overall risk is relatively low, several important factors should be considered. Human
papillomavirus (HPV) infection, primarily transmitted through sexual activity, is the primary risk factor.
Engaging in sexual activity at an early age or having multiple sexual partners can increase the risk. Regular
cervical cancer screening, such as Pap smears and HPV testing, is vital for early detection and intervention.
Vaccination against HPV is highly recommended for young women to prevent infection and reduce the risk of
cervical cancer. Promoting awareness, education, and safe sexual practices are crucial to prevention. Overall,
young women should prioritize their sexual health, receive appropriate vaccinations and screenings, and seek
medical advice for any concerns or symptoms to ensure early detection and effective management of cervical
cancer.
