Cervical cancer is the only HPV-related cancer with an NHS screening programme, so it’s important to know the symptoms of the others.

These symptoms are usually caused by something less serious, but if you notice any changes that don’t go away, see your GP.

The best ways to lower your risk of all HPV-related cancers are the HPV vaccine, cervical screening if you have a cervix, and reducing your risk of HPV.
