Cervical Cancer: How Regular Pap Smear Tests Saves Lives

Why should you go through the humiliation? Because a pap smear can save your life. It can find the earliest signs of cervical cancer, a common cancer in women. If caught early, the chance of surviving cervical cancer is very high.

Pap tests also can find infections and abnormal cervical cells that can turn into cancer cells. If your pap smear test finds serious changes in the cells of the cervix, your doctor will suggest more powerful tests. And treatment can prevent most cases of cervical cancer from developing.

Cancer is a disease in which certain body cells don’t function right, divide very fast, and produce too much tissue that forms a tumor.

Cervical cancer is cancer in the cervix, the lower, narrow part of the uterus (womb). The uterus is the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a baby grows during a woman’s pregnancy. The cervix forms a canal that opens into the vagina (birth canal), which leads to the outside of the body.

Cervical cancer occurs when normal cells in the cervix change into cancer cells. This normally takes several years to happen, but it can also happen in a very short period of time. By getting regular Pap tests and pelvic exams helps catch or prevent cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is a disease that can be very serious. However, it is a disease that can be prevented with a little inconvenience.
