Cervical cancer is a serious but preventable condition that affects the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. Regular screenings, such as Pap smears and HPV tests, play a vital role in detecting abnormal changes early, when treatment is most effective. Vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV), the leading cause of cervical cancer, is another key step in prevention. Symptoms can include abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, or unusual discharge, but the disease may often develop silently, emphasizing the importance of routine check-ups. At our medical office, we are committed to providing education, screenings, and compassionate care to support your overall health and well-being.
