Cervical cancer occurs in the lower part of the uterus, known as the cervix. This form of cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable types when detected early. It is often caused by chronic infection with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. While HPV infections are common and frequently asymptomatic, untreated cases in women can lead to cervical cancer.
Although HPV is typically harmless, certain high-risk types can persist and become cancerous over time if not managed. Of the more than 100 types of HPV identified, 15 are classified as high risk for cervical cancer. While 90% of HPV infections resolve naturally within two years, those that persist for over a decade can invade deeper tissues and turn malignant.
Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer
Symptoms to Watch For
Abnormal vaginal bleeding
Unusual vaginal discharge (foul-smelling or blood-tinged)
Pelvic pain
Back pain
Fatigue
Unintentional weight loss
The Importance of Awareness
Raising awareness about early detection, treatment, and prevention of cervical cancer is crucial. Through preventive measures like vaccination, regular screening, and healthy lifestyle choices, countless lives can be saved. Regular screenings can detect pre-cancerous changes, allowing for timely intervention before cancer develops.

Measures for Early Detection
Pap Smear Test: This test identifies abnormal changes in cervical cells before they become cancerous.
Screening Guidelines:
Ages 21-30: Pap smear test every 3 years (if results are normal).
Ages 31-64: Pap smear every 3 years or Pap smear + HPV test every 5 years.
Age 65 and Older: Routine screening may be stopped if results have been normal for the previous 10 years.
HPV Vaccination
HPV vaccination is a safe and effective way to prevent HPV infections linked to cervical cancer. The recommended vaccination schedule is:
Ages 9-14: 2 doses (at 0 and 6-12 months).
Ages 15-26: 3 doses (at 0, 1-2, and 6 months).
Ages 27-45: Vaccination is not routinely recommended.
Preventive Measures
Get vaccinated against HPV.
Avoid multiple sexual partners.
Delay sexual activity until an appropriate age.
Quit smoking.
Avoid early pregnancies and multiple pregnancies.
