Cervical Cancer Awareness Month: Prioritize Your Health with Routine Screenings
January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, a time to focus on the importance of prevention, early detection, and regular screenings. Routine wellness checkups, which include a Pap smear, are vital for identifying potential problems early, and they can make all the difference when it comes to preventing cervical cancer.
Why Routine Screenings Matter
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer, yet many women still go without the screenings that could catch early signs. A Pap smear is an important screening tool that checks for abnormal cell changes in the cervix. When detected early, these changes can be treated, preventing cervical cancer from developing. The American Cancer Society recommends that women start getting Pap smears at age 21, and continue every 3 years thereafter. By staying on top of these screenings, you are ensuring your health is monitored and potential issues are caught before they can become serious.
