Cervical cancer screening is a crucial preventative measure that helps detect abnormal changes in the cervix before they develop into cancer. At our clinic, we emphasize the importance of regular screenings for women starting at the age of 21, as early detection significantly increases treatment success rates. The screening process typically involves a Pap smear, which collects cells from the cervix to identify any abnormalities. If necessary, HPV (human papillomavirus) testing may also be conducted, as certain strains of HPV are known to contribute to the development of cervical cancer.
By prioritizing cervical cancer screening, women can take proactive steps towards their health. Our dedicated healthcare professionals provide a supportive and confidential environment, making the screening process as comfortable as possible. We educate patients about the screening timeline and discuss the importance of follow-up appointments and lifestyle choices that can further reduce their risk. Regular screenings can lead to early intervention, ensuring better health outcomes and peace of mind for women and their families.
