guidelines for cervical cancer prevention
To prevent cervical cancer, get regular screenings like Pap smears and HPV tests as recommended by your healthcare provider. HPV infection is the main cause, so consider vaccination against HPV—especially before becoming sexually active. Practice safe sex by using barriers like condoms and limit the number of sexual partners. Don't smoke, as smoking can increase risk. Maintain a healthy immune system through a balanced diet and regular exercise. Follow screening guidelines consistently, and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider to stay proactive about your cervical health.
