Prevention Of Cervical Cancer

To reduce the risk of cervical cancer if:

Use a condom every time you have sex, reduce the risk of HPV

Delay first intercourse

Having fewer sexual partners

Avoid smoking

Get vaccinated against HPV

Get vaccinated against HPV

Vaccines can protect against the most dangerous types of HPV - the virus that plays a role in the development of cervical cancer the most. Vaccination is available for girls aged 9 to 12 and the girls and women aged 13 to 26 if they have not already received the vaccine. The vaccine is most effective if administered to girls before they become sexually active.

Despite hopes that the vaccine prevents cervical cancer more, you can not prevent infection with every virus that causes cervical cancer. Routine Pap tests for cervical cancer remain high.

Routine Pap tests

Routine Pap tests can detect precancerous lesions of the cervix that can be followed or treated to prevent cervical cancer. Work with your doctor to determine the best schedule for Pap smears. Most organizations suggest that women begin routine Pap tests at age 21 years and tests every 1-3 years.

If you are at high risk of cervical cancer, Pap tests will be needed more often. If you have had a hysterectomy, talk with your doctor whether to continue the Pap test. If the hysterectomy was performed for a noncancerous condition such as fibroids, may be able to end the routine Pap tests, but not to pelvic exams. If the hysterectomy was carried out in a precancerous or cancerous condition, your vaginal canal still needs to be checked for abnormal changes.
