Can Masturbating With Dirty Hands Cause Cervical Cancer?

Hello, I am worried if a girl can contract cervical cancer from masturbating with dirty hands. I mean is there any additional connection like masturbating with dirty hands- infection- cervical cancer. Or those viruses causing cancer are far more serious by those caused by dirty hands. Thank you.

Hi,

Being or adopting unhygienic methods is one of the etiological factor for cervical cancer, so yes on long term masturbating with dirty finger can lead to cancer cervix.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
