Cervical Cancer and Tampons: Separating Fact from Fiction

Question
Hi i have heard of people saying if you use tampons,your likely to get cervical cancer is that true?

Answer
Dear Viggoty,

Thank you for writing me now I have not heard any of the doctor's that I talk with say that this is something you get cervical cancer from. Instead there is a virus called HPV which you can look up on the internet and it will tell you how you catch this and it is NOT from using tampons. Also if there is a history of cancer you might be at risk for getting cervical cancer but look it up on the internet just to set your mind at ease.

God Bless
