There is no known way to prevent vaginal cancer. The best thing for a woman to do is stay away from risk factors whenever she can. However, since most women with vaginal cancer have no known risk factors, it is difficult to avoid them. Women should avoid infection of HPV. This can be done by not having sexual intercourse at a very young age, by having protected sex, and by avoiding sex with many people or with those who have had many sexual partners.
