age relation to cervical cancer

[Amgadabdelmageed]

i search alot for the relation of age to cervical cancer from its 1st degree as a sq epithelium mild lesion but i ddn t found any searh about age per se as a predisposing factor to cervical changes .... so is there is a relation between age only [not associated to other factors ]& cervical changes ?

I do not believe there is any age relation.I have seen pre cancerous cells in family members and friends as young as mid 20's The good news is that this is easily treated.  hope that helps

so if any female [suppose] ddn t have sex at all or catching human papilloma virus suppose or other infection & it is only exposed to the age factor what will happen.... will she get cervical carcinoma of any degree

[lisapep]

there are some things that may increase your chances.  ie intercourse, std's etc. but thre is a chance that any women can get it.  That is why they suggest getting a pap smear after the age of 18 i think it is 18.  but any women that has a cervix can get it.

I do not know anything about age and relation to Cervical cancer, but at age 20 I was diagnosed with mild grade squamous cells on my cervix and had a LEEP procedure done to remove it.  Then again when I was 24 they appeared again and the biopsy removed all of them.  I have had 2 children since then and cervix is fine.  

Age: Cervical cancers usually affect women of middle age or older, but it may be diagnosed in any reproductive-aged woman. The average age of patients is 50 years, but the disease has been seen in patients ranging in age from 17 to 90 years.

[Healthy_so_why_this]

Has anyone asked if their mother was exposed to DES, diethylstilbesterol, while she was pregnant or if you have had DES exposure if you were pregnant between 1958 and 1971? (The 1958 might be wrong but the 1971 is the correct end date)  I have recently had 2 back to back abnormal pap smears which is my first 2 in all my 34 years.  I have a twin that has had 3 biopsies already so when the follow up pap started this morning, I could already tell something wasn't right due to how my doctor reacted and the things she was saying and asking me that we extremely uncommon.   I have literally been researching this since this morning.  I am extremely healthy and for the most part of my life I have been someone that enjoys to work out, eat right, etc.   In  my research of why I have discovered that many women during the time frame earlier were given DES if they were having a complicated pregancy or miscarriages.  Which causes DES daughters to have an extreme increase chance of developing cervical cancer.  Its worth a shot to ask....
