Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers — yet thousands of cases are still diagnosed each year. The truth is simple: screening and HPV vaccination save lives. This month is about awareness, action, and accountability for your long-term health.
✅ Smart Steps for Cervical Cancer Prevention
Stay current with screenings — Routine Pap tests and HPV screenings detect changes before cancer develops. Early detection isn’t optional; it’s essential.
Get the HPV vaccine — HPV causes nearly all cervical cancers. Vaccination is safe, effective, and recommended for adolescents and adults who haven’t completed the series.
Know your risk factors — Smoking, weakened immunity, and skipping screenings increase risk. Ignoring this doesn’t make it go away.
Practice safer sexual health — HPV is common and often silent. Protection, honest conversations, and regular testing matter.
Strengthen your immune system — Adequate sleep, balanced nutrition, regular movement, and stress management support your body’s ability to clear infections.
