Introduction Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor formed in the stem of the uterus. 1 Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a pathogen that causes fatal cervical cancer and related cancerous diseases; it has been detected in 99.7% of all cervical cancers. 2 Two viral proteins, E6 and E7, are pivotal in triggering infected cells to undergo oncogenesis with uncontrolled proliferation, unrestricted telomerase activity, and subsequently cervical cancer growth. 3 HPV infection can cause cancer in the cervix, but also in the vagina, vulva, penis, and oropharynx. 1 Typically, the cervix comprises squamous cells on the outer layer and columnar gland cells on the inner side. Carcinogenesis mainly occurs at the junction of these two cell types, forming squamous cell carcinoma (>90%) or adenocarcinoma. 4,5 Specifically, the initial infection may cause dysplasia, namely, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or adenocarcinoma, in situ. If the infection persists and cannot be cleared by ...

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) refer to conditions that can pass from person to person through sexual contact. They are common infections that many people may not be aware they have, meaning many people may unknowingly transmit them. Many quick, safe, and readily available STD tests can help prevent further transmission and health complications. Rather than use the older term STDs, many doctors now tend to refer to these conditions as sexually transmitted infections, or STIs. Early detection and treatment are vital to prevent transmission and complications due to untreated STIs. Regular testing is important, and healthcare professionals can advise about STI tests. If people do not feel comfortable doing so, many clinics, pharmacies, or services can provide confidential and free or low-cost testing. According to the Centers for Dis...

There are millions of types of fungi, including yeasts and molds. While these fungi occur naturally in many places—and some within our bodies—they rarely cause severe disease. Some conditions that weaken the immune system might make you more susceptible to these kinds of infections and require treatment using antifungal medications. There are several types of antifungal medications, and this article will explore the different varieties, when they might be used, and what to expect while taking them. Common Fungal Infections Some types of fungi naturally exist on our skin and in our bodies, but our immune systems keep the effects of these fungi in check to prevent infections or serious problems. When this balance is upset—often by diseases or treatments that weaken the immune system—the fungi take over healthy tissues and cause infections. The most common types of fungal infections in humans are: Fungal infections can impact any part of the body, even your l...

Oral herpes, a condition caused by the herpes simplex virus, is incredibly common. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, 50 to 80 percent of U.S. adults carry this virus. Sores from angular cheilitis are less common than cold sores, but they often look similar. Angular cheilitis causes inflammation, redness, and irritation at the corners of the mouth. While cold sores are caused by a virus, angular cheilitis can be caused by a number of different things, including fungal infection. Therefore, it requires different treatments. The first step in eliminating sores at the edges of the mouth is to determine what's causing them. Read on to learn how to differentiate oral herpes from angular cheilitis and how each is treated. Both oral herpes and angular cheilitis can cause redness, rawness, and inflammation around the corners of the mouth. However,...

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs, formerly called sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs), are primarily spread through various types of sexual contact. In the United States, one in five people have an STI. You can reduce your risk of contracting an STI by using a barrier method of protection, such as a condom, during each type of sexual encounter, which includes oral sex. Some STIs can be transmitted orally and cause a sore throat. Read on to learn more about STIs that can affect the throat and mouth, and how to treat them. Westend61 / Getty Images.
