Warning over certain sex act as experts blame it on rise in cases of worrying cancer

You could be putting your life at risk if you do this risqué thing

Health experts have come out to reveal that there is one sex act that can increase your risk of a certain cancer.

You read that right.

There is a deadly cancer which might be difficult to spot, and cases might very well be on the rise thanks to what some people like to do in the bedroom.

According to Cancer Research UK, there are 70 per cent of cases of this type of cancer which are caused by HPV, which is potentially due to allowing something into your body which should really be kept as a place you like to shove food in.

Okay, you’ve cracked it.

It’s oral sex which is potentially increasing the cancer.

So, no more jokes about ‘I’ve got something that’ll help your sore throat’, as you could be putting their life in danger.

Instead of expecting a little excitement from your partner, be happy with the other orifices as this one is officially closed for business.

The Oral Health Foundation has come out to share that it has recorded record-breaking cases of mouth cancer.

Specifically, 10,000 a year.

This is because you can transmit HPV to a person’s mouth, which is one of the biggest risk factors for the cancer.

Dr Hisham Mehanna, from the University of Birmingham, explained to The Conversation that that if you’re giving the hawk tuah to multiple people, you’ve got nine times the risk of developing oropharyngeal cancers, and that us in the West are terrible for getting throat cancer.

The State of Mouth Cancer UK Report 2024 further shared that there is a 133 per cent rise in this type of cancer over the past two decades, particularly in those who are in their 40s and 50s.

OBE, Chief Executive of the Oral Health Foundation said as per The Mirror: “While many types of cancer are declining, mouth cancer continues to surge. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption remain significant risk factors, but we are seeing a growing number of cases linked to the human papillomavirus (HPV) and other emerging causes.”

However, it can be hard to know whether you have the cancer, so you need to pay more attention to your mouth and neck area.

As per the NHS, symptoms include things like pain in your mouth, a lump in your mouth or on your lip, an ulcer in your mouth that lasts longer than 3 weeks, red or white patches in your mouth, struggling to swallow or speak or finding a lump in your neck or throat.

You might also find that you’re losing weight without trying to, which is a common sign of cancer.

Dr Carter said: "Mouth cancer can affect anyone, and the impact on a person’s life can be devastating. We need to raise awareness of the symptoms, the risk factors, and most importantly, the importance of early detection. Too many cases are diagnosed too late, often at the most advanced stage. This needs to change.”

66 per cent of mouth cancers are typically diagnosed in men, with 90 per cent of those causes being in the over 50s age group.

So, if you notice the signs, don’t risk it and see your GP as soon as possible.
