1.5 years ago, Marcia Cross - an American actress, became famous for participating in the series "Desperate Housewives" and discovered anorectal cancer caused by the HPV virus. Previously, in 2009, the 57-year-old actress's husband was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. Doctors believe that Cross may have been infected with HPV from her husband - Tom Mahoney.
In 2018, fans could not help but feel sorry for Marcia's letter to fans to make public about her illness. She said that being public and sharing with everyone about cancer makes her feel "eldered and powerful in this persistent fight".
Currently, the health of the famous actress who was nominated for Emmy and the Golden Globe award has stabilized after many chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions. She encouraged the community not to be afraid or ashamed of having anorectal cancer but to proactively go to the doctor, with the help of a doctor.
In addition, each individual needs to have a regular health check to promptly detect abnormalities. Recently, she also publicly announced her plan to take her 12-year-old daughter for HPV vaccination.
HPV is a virus that causes many cancers, including anorectal cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer, which the couple suffered from.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 79 million people in the country, mostly in their late teens and early 20s, are infected with HPV.
A person can get HPV when having sex through the mouth, vaginal or anorex with a person infected with the virus. The disease is often spread through sexual intercourse through the vagina or anus. HPV can be spread even if the patient has no signs or symptoms.
anyone who has sex can get HPV, even if they are only considerate of one person. You may also experience symptoms many years after having sex with an infected person. Therefore, it is difficult to know when you are infected for the first time.
In most cases, HPV will go away on its own and do not cause any health problems. When HPV does not improve, it can cause health problems such as breakouts and cancer.
Bumps often look like small lumps or a group of lumps in the genitals. These tumors can be small or large, bountiful or flat, or have a mustard-like shape. Health care providers can often diagnose blisters by examining the genitals.
HPV can cause cervical cancer and other cancers including cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, penis cancer, or anorexia. HPV can also cause cancer in the back of the throat, including the sublingua and tonsils (called throat cancer).
To protect the body from HPV virus, the CDC recommends that 11-12 year Olds be vaccinated, and that women aged 21-65 should be screened for cervical cancer periodically to prevent the disease.
If you have sex, the CDC recommends using condoms properly every time you have sex. This may reduce the risk of HPV. However, this virus can cause infection in areas where the condoms cannot be covered. Therefore, HPV may not be completely prevented.
In addition, you should maintain a monogamous relationship on both sides meaning having sex only with someone who only has sex with you.
