A cervical cancer screening is also known as a PAP smear. You should see your obstetrician/gynecologist (Ob/GYN) doctor regularly. Regular PAP smear screenings are performed every three years, while you are between 21 and 64. You are most likely to develop cervical cancer during these ages. Due to regular testing, cervical cancer rates have dropped over the last 30 years. Cancers are much easier to treat and are easier for you to tolerate if caught earlier.
Ang ilang partikular na impeksyon at salik na peligro (risk factor) ay posibleng makapagpataas ng tsansa mong magkaroon ng cervical cancer, kabilang ang mga sumusunod:
- Paninigarilyo
- Obesity
- Pagkakaroon dati ng HPV infection
- Pangmatagalang paggamit ng birth control
- Pagkontrol sa hormone
- At marami pa.
Kung nagkaroon na ng kanser sa cervix (cervical cancer) ang sinumang miyembro ng iyong pamilya, tiyaking ipaalam ito sa iyong doktor.
