Cervical Cancer Prevention

Cervical cancer prevention involves regular screenings, such as Pap tests and HPV tests, which detect abnormal cells or the HPV virus—the main cause of cervical cancer—before symptoms appear. Getting vaccinated against HPV can significantly reduce risk, especially for young women. Practicing safe sex, avoiding smoking, and maintaining a healthy immune system also help prevent the disease. Early detection through screenings and vaccination are key strategies that save lives by catching issues early or preventing infection altogether. Regular medical check-ups and open communication with healthcare providers are essential components of effective prevention.
