In addition, women regularly exposed to cigarette smoke are more likely to develop:
-
Cardiovascular diseases
-
Respiratory problems (asthma, bronchitis, COPD)
-
Weakened immune systems
👉 The solution: If quitting smoking is difficult, at least avoid smoking near your wife and children. Better yet, seek professional help or support groups to stop completely.
2. Refusing to Use Protection During Intimacy
Condoms remain one of the most effective ways to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including the human papillomavirus (HPV)—the leading cause of cervical cancer.
When used correctly, condoms can prevent STIs up to 98% of the time. Unfortunately, many men refuse to use them, claiming they reduce pleasure or feel uncomfortable. This selfishness exposes women to infections that can have lifelong health consequences.
Some wives turn to birth control pills for pregnancy prevention, but this does nothing to protect against HPV or other dangerous infections. Without protection, the risk of transmitting viruses like HPV increases significantly.
👉 The solution: Men must take responsibility by using protection. It’s a small step that ensures both partners’ long-term health and safety.
3. Ignoring Regular Health Check-Ups
Another harmful habit is neglecting personal health. Many men avoid medical check-ups, ignoring symptoms of infections or diseases. This not only puts their own health at risk but also exposes their wives to preventable illnesses.
For example, men who unknowingly carry HPV or other infections can transmit them during intimacy. Over time, this raises the wife’s risk of developing cervical cancer and other reproductive health problems.
👉 The solution: Regular medical check-ups, including STI screenings, are essential. When both partners commit to their health, they strengthen the foundation of a safe and lasting relationship.
Final Thoughts
Cervical cancer is not only a women’s issue—it’s a family issue. A husband’s choices and lifestyle directly affect his wife’s well-being. By quitting smoking, using protection, and committing to regular health check-ups, men can greatly reduce their partner’s risk of cervical cancer and ensure a healthier future for the whole family.
💡 Remember: Love is not only about words but also about actions that protect and care for each other.
