What Is Cervical Cancer Screening?

Cervical cancer screening is a vital preventive healthcare measure for women. Its purpose is to detect precancerous changes or early-stage cervical cancer before any symptoms appear, enabling timely intervention and treatment. Regular screening helps reduce the risk of developing advanced cervical cancer and improves long-term outcomes for women.

Screening Methods

Cervical cancer screening includes several methods. The Pap smear collects cervical cells to detect abnormal changes. The HPV test identifies high-risk HPV strains associated with cervical cancer. In women over 30, co-testing combines both Pap smear and HPV testing for a comprehensive assessment of cervical health. Vaccination against HPV before sexual activity further enhances prevention.
