January is Cervical Health Awareness Month


January is Cervical Health Awareness Month which spotlight’s cervical health issues that include such as human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer. As women we hate going to the ObGny slipping into those straps, the discomfort of sliding down, while gazing up at the ceiling as our doctor probes us during that annual Pap smear examination. It’s that examination that may help with early detection of cervical cancer. Earlier detection helps with prevention and treatment options. It maybe embarrassing and uncomfortable but it may just save your life. Learn to pay attention to your body and changes that you are not comfortable with. Also do not be afraid to question your doctor. I go yearly and wait for the results. Younger women don't feel comfortable in your youth and take your health for granted. At this time I know of one young lady who is battling cancer at this time. Its best to be aware and to make the best decision to help keep you health and alive.
