Cervical cancer screening is a crucial health measure for women. It helps detect abnormal cells in the cervix that could develop into cancer. Regular screening can save lives by catching issues early when they are most treatable. There are two main types of tests: the Pap test and the HPV test. The Pap test looks for precancerous changes, while the HPV test checks for the virus that can cause these changes. Women should start getting screened at age 21. Early detection through screening has significantly reduced cervical cancer rates. Knowing the facts about cervical cancer screening can empower women to take charge of their health.
