The Risk of Changing Sexual Partners

Having intimate relationships with 10 or more partners may increase the likelihood of cancer showing.

According to a study conducted by British, Australian, Turkish, Canadian and Italian experts, the likelihood that women will suffer consequences from multiple partners' shifts is greater.

Researchers analyzed data obtained from the analysis of persons over 50, about 5,700 cases, resulting in about 22% of men and only under 8% of women reported 10 or more sexual partners.

Researchers found a statistically important link between the number of sexual partners throughout life and the risk of a cancer diagnosis.

Compared to women who reported 0-1 sexual partners, those who said they had 10 or more had 91% chance of being diagnosed with cancer.

Men who reported 2-4 sexual partners throughout their lives were 57% more predisposed to be diagnosed with cancer than those who reported 0-1.

Those reporting 10 or more had 69% more likely to diagnose with serious illness.

The study also found that women who reported 5-9 or more than 10 sexual partners throughout their lives were 64% more predisposed to have a serious disease than those who said they had 0-1 partners.

But the study does not determine the cause, it reflects previous findings linking sexually transmitted infections to the development of certain types of cancer and hepatitis.

However, the study will continue to find the main reason why having more sexual partners increases the risk of cancer.
