I have never heard of increased risk of CERVICAL cancers from missed cycles, however, missed cycles do put you at risk for endometrial (uterine lining) cancers. I, too, had these problems... may I suggest you look into PCOS (poly-cystic ovarian syndrome) it sounds like you, too, may be experiencing this... it is not a death sentence, but if that is indeed what is happening with your body the knowledge of how best to counteract it will help you to conceive, cycle better, etc.... I am almost 23 and it took my husband and I almost 4 years to make the baby I am carrying. HTH (hope this helps)
