May is recognized as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to raising awareness about cervical cancer, its causes, prevention, and early detection. Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. The most common cause of cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection.
Regular screenings such as Pap tests and HPV tests are important for early detection of cervical cancer.
Prevention of cervical cancer is possible through HPV Vaccination, as it can protect against the most common strains of HPV that can lead to cervical cancer.
Early detection and prevention are key in the fight against cervical cancer. By staying informed and taking proactive steps to safeguard your health, you can reduce your risk and promote overall well-being. Let’s work together to raise awareness and support efforts to eliminate cervical cancer.
