Cervical Screening Recommendations

Cervical screening, typically through a Pap test or HPV test, helps detect abnormal cells or HPV infections that could develop into cervical cancer. Recommendations vary by country, but generally, women aged 25 to 65 should have a screening every 3 to 5 years, depending on their age and previous results. Screening is important even if you feel healthy, as it can catch changes early when they’re most treatable. Regular check-ups help reduce cervical cancer risk, and talking with your healthcare provider can determine the best schedule for you based on your health history.
