Can pregnancy cause cervical cancer?

Like western countries doctors in India should include a cervical cancer diagnosis before providing consultations for pregnancy, thus lowering the risk of cervical cancer and ensuring a hassle-free pregnancy.
What is Cervical Cancer?
In general terms cervical cancer is referred as cancer of the uterus. It starts when the cells in the cervix start multiplying unhindered. They grow and can reach a pre-cancerous stage, from where they start multiplying rapidly and thus this is diagnosed as cervical cancer.
How common is Cervical Cancer during Pregnancy?
Chances of developing cervical cancer in pregnancy are 3 out of 100, i.e. 3% of pregnant women find that they are having cervical cancer during pregnancies after a diagnostic test.
There is no direct impact of pregnancy recorded to cause cervical cancer but reports tell that women who have had three or more full-term pregnancies, or who had their first full-term pregnancies before the age seventeen, are twice as likely to get cervical cancer.
Causes of cervical cancer during pregnancy in India:
As per doctors and reports suggests too that Infection of the cervix with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common cause of cervical cancer. But it is also true that not all women with an HPV infection will develop cervical cancer.
1.  Women with a sister or mother who had cervical cancer are two to three times more likely to develop cervical cancer.
2. Sex before 17 and sex with multiple partners or sex with someone who has had multiple partners can lead chances of cervical cancer
3. Women who smoke doubles her risk of cervical cancer.
4. Women who take oral contraceptives for more than five years have an increased risk of cervical cancer, but this risk returns to normal within a few years after the pills are stopped.
5. People with HIV or other health conditions or who take medications that limit the body’s ability to fight off infection have a higher risk of developing cervical cancer.
