Can man get cervical cancer?
Everyone talks about cervical cancer as a women's disease, but I've recently heard that men can also be carriers of the HPV virus. So, can a man actually get cervical cancer, or is it strictly limited to women?

Biologically, men do not have a cervix, so they cannot get cervical cancer. However, men can carry and pass the HPV virus which causes it. Keeping the body clean and doing regular morning pranayama keeps our immunity strong against such infections.

No, men don't have a cervix, so this cancer is not possible for them. But since men can transmit the virus to their partners, getting the HPV vaccine is a very simple and practical way to protect the family. Ask any local clinic about the vaccine charges.

Men cannot get cervical cancer as they don't have that organ. But just like my doctor says for thyroid, any unusual symptom or infection should be checked by a proper physician immediately instead of assuming things.

I have just completed my cervical cancer treatment last month, so I know this well. Men cannot get this cancer, but they can be carriers of the HPV virus. That is why it is so important for women to get regular Pap smear tests done.

No, men cannot get cervical cancer because the cervix is a part of the female reproductive system. However, men can get other health issues from the HPV virus. If you are worried about any symptoms, just visit a GP for a quick check.
