Because January is Cervical cancer awareness month.
Folake: Ewoo, I don die… Did you hear?
Ejiro: hear what?
Folake: hmm, I don’t even want to think about it
Ejiro: Hian, Biko stop wasting my time if you don’t have anything to say.
Folake: You’re not even getting my point. I heard sexual intercourse causes cervical cancer.
Ejiro: It doesn’t cause cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer is caused by the Human papillomavirus (HPV). Practices that can increase the risk include smoking, oral contraceptive use, multiple pregnancies (>7)
Also, multiple sex partners also adds to the risk and starting sexual intercourse early.
Folake: Yekpa, I’m dead now that’s what it means
Ejiro: No, there are now HPV vaccines available that can really lower the risk of a person. Apart from that, there’s a technique called pap smear that identifies precancerous changes and treats them before they can develop.
So you see, it’s preventable but not curable.
But honestly, calm down with your ‘Folake gimme love o’ before you’ll get Wetin don big pass you.
Folake: Yes o, Aunty Georgina. Judge me very well, in fact sentence me.
Ejiro: If I talk, they’ll say I talk too much. If I don’t talk they’ll say I’m a bad friend.
A word is enough for the wise.
