Long, sunny summer days can increase the risk of "catching" sexually transmitted diseases, and this is due not only to the fact that if the weather is good, then people are more likely to have sex. Dutch scientists have discovered: the highest frequency of detection of human papilloma virus during a routine oncological test is recorded in August. According to their theory, solar radiation suppresses the immunity of women.

Experts have long suspected that solar energy has a powerful and seemingly ambiguous effect on the body in terms of the development of various diseases, including tumors. The best example: the sun is a powerful risk factor for skin cancer.

Many, however, believe that sunlight has a more obvious effect, for example, predisposes to infection of the papilloma with viruses during sexual intercourse. This virus is the most common cause of cervical cancer, a disease in the US alone that kills 10,000 women per year. Despite the fact that the virus can cause the formation of papillomas on the skin of the genital organs, most of the infected have no symptoms.

Analyzing other data of Dutch scientists, obtained from 1983 to 1998, it was found that in the sunniest month of the sunniest year, the frequency of infection with the virus was maximum. In Holland, August is the sunniest month and the frequency of detection of the virus in smears is 2 times higher than winter indicators. It is curious that in the next month, September, the frequency of detection of the virus in smears drastically decreases. Sexual behavior is not an explanation for this phenomenon, so what's the reason?.

No one can say when exactly people are more likely to have sex, but a clue is the definition of the approximate period of conception of children. The data indicate that the maximum frequency of conception in the Netherlands in March, but fluctuations in this frequency throughout the year is only 10%. And yet the authors believe that the virus affects throughout the year with approximately "equal force", and the summer sun does its own, far from light, business. There is evidence that solar activity can suppress the formation of antibodies and the activation of T lymphocytes, the main processes of a natural response to infection. According to other observations, there is a relationship between sunlight and a predisposition to the herpes virus, adenovirus, and d.

The connection between the sun and cancer is very complex, and is not limited to the simple impact of light on the skin. In many studies, the frequency of cancer was assessed depending on how far north people lived. In general, it was found out: the south, the less common are cancer of the colon, prostate and breast, that, perhaps, sunlight with these species has protective properties. Moreover, there is evidence that in people exposed to significant exposure to the sun, the risk of developing certain types of tumors of lymphatic tissue is 30% less than medicus. En.
