cervical health

Cervical health refers to the well-being of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is vital for reproductive health and acts as a barrier against infections. Regular screening through Pap smears and HPV tests helps detect abnormalities early, including precancerous changes. Maintaining cervical health involves safe sexual practices, vaccination against HPV (a common cause of cervical cancer), and routine medical checkups. Good cervical health reduces the risk of infections, discomfort, and significant diseases like cervical cancer, ensuring overall reproductive well-being.
