The number of cervical patients in India is increasing day by day. The biggest reason behind cervical cancer is said to be lack of cleanliness during periods. Despite being in the 21st century, there are still many places in India where women use cloth during periods. One of the biggest problems with cloth is that people keep it on for hours. Due to which there is a high risk of infection. Surveys conducted in recent years have shown that women should take special care of hygiene during menstrual cycle. If this is not done, then one can become a victim of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) bacteria.
The risk of HPV infection increases
Women who have pre-cancer or cancer have very poor menstrual hygiene. Due to this, they are at a very high risk of infection. Due to increased infection, they become vulnerable to cancer. HPV infection usually gets cured on its own, otherwise after some time due to poor menstrual hygiene, the infection turns into a serious disease like cancer.
Which is more dangerous, sanitary pad or cloth?
But on the other hand, it is also said that the materials used in sanitary pads also increase the risk of cervical cancer. If we compare it with cloth, then the chances of getting rashes are less but if the same cloth is used for a long time, then the risk of infection increases a lot. Due to this, rashes and discomfort can also occur. But the risk of leakage is also very high.
