Cervical Cancer Awareness Month: Empowering Women Through Knowledge and Innovation
January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of early detection, prevention, and education surrounding cervical health. At CERĒ, we are deeply committed to advancing women’s health and empowering individuals with tools and knowledge to make informed decisions about their well-being.
"Bleeding with intercourse is one of the most common symptoms I see in patients with cervical cancer. It’s a sign that should never be ignored, as early detection can save lives. If you notice this symptom, it’s crucial to consult your doctor promptly for evaluation."
- Dr. Marashi, founder of CERĒ
Fast Facts About Cervical Cancer
-
Cervical Cancer is Preventable:
Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can be prevented through vaccination and regular screenings. -
Screening Saves Lives:
Pap smears and HPV tests are essential tools for detecting precancerous changes. Women aged 21-65 should follow their healthcare provider's recommendations for screening frequency. -
The Power of the HPV Vaccine:
The HPV vaccine can prevent over 90% of HPV-related cancers, including cervical cancer. It’s most effective when administered in preteen years, but catch-up vaccination is available for adults up to age 45. -
Symptoms Can Be Silent:
Early-stage cervical cancer often has no symptoms, underscoring the importance of regular check-ups. Advanced cases may present with unusual bleeding, pelvic pain, or discomfort during intercourse. -
A Global Perspective:
Over 600,000 women worldwide are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year, with the majority of cases occurring in low- and middle-income countries where access to preventive care is limited. Awareness and equitable healthcare access can change this. -
Survivorship is Growing:
Thanks to medical advancements, cervical cancer survival rates have improved significantly when the disease is caught early, highlighting the value of preventive care and early detection.
Preventative Care: The Key to Early Detection
The HPV vaccine is a game-changer, significantly reducing the risk of cervical cancer. Regular gynecological check-ups and screenings are also vital for catching precancerous changes before they develop into something more serious. If it’s been a while since your last appointment, let this be your reminder to schedule one today!
