Is this statement true or false, having children under the age of 30 prevents a type of cancer, like cervical?

My boyfriend told me this, though I can't say if that's true or not. He said he read it from somewhere. That's why I'm asking, because I don't think that's true. I think it's rare, isn't it? It shouldn't really matter when you have kids of what age.





I just need different opinions. Really, what is cervical cancer caused from?Is this statement true or false, having children under the age of 30 prevents a type of cancer, like cervical?

If you delay having children until you're older (as in late 30's)....then you are at a little bit higher risk of developing breast cancer. Women who never have children have a greater risk, but I have never heard of a link between cervical cancer and childbearing age.
Thats not true.
Cervical cancer is caused by the human papilloma virus, or HPV. It has nothing to do with children! There is a vaccine available that can reduce the risk of getting HPV. Talk to your doctor, he or she will be more than happy to talk to you about getting the vaccine if you're worried.
Although females under age 30 that have children DO seem to have a lowered risk of developing cervical cancer, having a child before 30 years of age is not a definite way to prevent the disease. This type of cancer is caused by the humanpapilloma virus (HPV) and the only way to really prevent that is with abstinence or the new vaccination, Gardasil, and even with the vaccine, it is not 100%.
Cervical cancer is a pregnancy related problem , Better get a doctor opinion
Its false. Cervical Cancer is caused from different strains of the HPV virus. There are many strains and there is a vaccine for some strains of it, but not all of them.
Cervical cancer is almost always after infection with the Human Papiloma Virus, and is not connected with the age at which you have children.





It is widely accepted though, that a woman's body is designed to produce children at a young age. Medically, 20 (or younger) is the optimum child-bearing age, though of course socially, this presents problems, but this seems to be a 20th century attitude. Before that, and in the early half of the century, marriage and children before the age of 20 was extremely common, and was the life most could expect.
