In April 2018 Stacey Solomon made a shocking revelation on the daytime TV show that, she was diagnosed with human papillomavirus (HPV) – the most common viral infection of the reproductive tract.
The singer and Tv personality revealed that she had the virus when she was pregnant with her son Rex: “It reminded me of the time when I was pregnant with Rex,” she stressed that “I contracted HPV a few years ago and I asked whether giving birth vaginally would have an effect on my cervix after contracting HPV.
“And I remember my doctor saying to me, ‘There’s absolutely no research into this, there’s hardly any research into women’s health and it’s completely underfunded and so we don’t know.’”
According to The World Health report on the human papillomavirus (HPV): “Most sexually active women and men will be infected at some point in their lives and some may be repeatedly infected.”
