Check out this article about coriolus mushrooms, it’s heavy reading as is from a scientific journal as oppose to an online shop selling supplements. It’s believed that this mushroom is effective against HPV the virus responsible for cervical cancer.

I’ve been taking supplements since being diagnosed 3yrs ago with severe pre-cancer of the cervix (CIN111).
I was lucky it was caught 6/12 before the abnormal cells became cancerous. The cells were removed in 3 ops ie. Leep procedure womenshealth.about.com/cs/surgery/a/leepprocedure.htm) and so far all is well and I believe it will remain so.
There is a vaccination (HPV - cervical cancer) for young women

In UK girls aged 12-13 can have this vaccination but I think you can get this privately if you’re older and want it - but you need to be checked to be clear of the virus first.

Symptoms of cervical cancer
Source
“Abnormal cells found on the cervix during a cervical screening test are usually at an early pre-cancer stage, and don’t cause any symptoms. Treating the abnormal cells prevents cancer developing.
If abnormal cells do develop into cervical cancer, you may have the following symptoms:
- abnormal vaginal bleeding, for example between periods or after sex
- smelly vaginal discharge
- discomfort during sex
- vaginal bleeding after the menopause
These symptoms aren’t always due to cervical cancer, but if you have them, you should visit your GP.”
Don’t be afraid get yourself smeared!
