Cervical cancer is a preventable and treatable disease, especially when detected early. Regular screenings and the HPV vaccine play a crucial role in reducing the risk. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary cause of cervical cancer, but with routine Pap smears and HPV tests, early signs can be detected, allowing for timely intervention. Protect yourself and your loved ones by staying informed, getting vaccinated, and encouraging regular check-ups. Let’s spread awareness and work towards a future free from cervical cancer.

Understanding the Causes of Cervical Cancer Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer, yet it continues to affect millions of women worldwide. The leading cause is a persistent infection with certain strains of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), but other risk factors can contribute too. Smoking, weakened immune systems, long-term use of birth control pills, and having multiple full-term pregnancies are just a few contributors. At Arka Hospital, Guntur, we emphasize the importance of regular screenings like Pap smears and HPV tests, which can detect cervical changes early and prevent the progression to cancer. Education, vaccination, and early intervention are key in combating this disease.

Today marks a historic Day of Action for the Elimination of Cervical Cancer, calling for pioneering initiatives to end this devastating disease and timely access to prevention, screening, and treatment for all women, especially the most vulnerable. In 2020, 194 countries resolved to eliminate cancer for the first time, and the World Health Organization launched a Global strategy to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem. This historic response catalyzed a social movement and brought communities worldwide together for this Day of Action. The high disease burden of cervical cancer represents a significant public health problem that must be addressed through a comprehensive strategy across the life cycle of all women: sexual and reproductive health, adolescent health, immunization, and cervical cancer control. There are multiple opportunities for intervention to stop cervical cancer. Primary and secondary prevention strategies and appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic case management, including access to palliative care, are essential.

Most cervical cancers are caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus \(HPV\). Regular screenings, such as Pap tests and HPV tests, can detect precancerous changes in the cervix, allowing for early treatment and prevention. Vaccination against HPV is also a powerful tool in reducing the risk of cervical cancer. Stay informed, get regular screenings, and protect your health.

Self collected #HPV tests are now FDA approved! 11,500 #cervicalcancer diagnoses occur every year in the US. Lack of access and hesitancy contribute to reduced cervical cancer (#papsmear) screenings. Many people who have a #cervix have experienced unnecessary yearly paps and invasive #pelvicexams because their provider says they need it. Some providers weaponize the pap smear to withhold services like birth control refills. 99.7% of cervical cancers are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) - the most common sexually transmitted infection in the country. Over time the body can clear most cases on its own, but not all. Primary prevention is the #hpvvaccine After that, share your education with your provider. In the setting of normal results, cervical cancer screenings ("paps") are recommended every 3 to 5 years, ages 21-65. Unnecessary yearly screening can lead to harms such as false positive results and increased health care costs. Self-collection modalities allow for privacy, agency, and more opportunity for person-centered, individualized education!

Prioritizing cervical health and cervical health literacy is key in cervical cancer prevention within primary health care domain.

🔍 Addressing the Decline in Cervical Screening Cervical cancer is preventable, yet the number of women not attending their #cervical screening is rising among women aged 30 to 44 in both the #US (https://lnkd.in/evKCA9rt)  and the #UK. This trend highlights ongoing barriers such as stigma, misinformation, misconceptions, healthcare disparities, and limiting access to #cervicalscreening and essential preventive care. 📈 A recent NHS-UK report (https://lnkd.in/emscWmaU.)  on screening rates resonated with me. It served as a reminder to encourage family and friends to prioritize their cervical screening—a small but significant step. 👏🏾 It is encouraging to see #Belgium taking steps towards better prevention. Starting in January, women aged 30 to 64 will be invited to screenings every five years using the high-performance #HPVtest (https://lnkd.in/egUvjQRe). This initiative aligns with practices already adopted in places like the US and UK, which have successfully introduced high-performance screening tests and self-sampling to improve access to screenings. 📌Why This Matters: 1️⃣ The #WHO approves the HPV test, which is more effective than other methods. 2️⃣ With screening with high-performance test HPV test, self-sampling can be incorporated to make screenings more inclusive and accessible.  3️⃣ Help remove barriers for those with negative past experiences related to screenings and encourage more women to get screened  - in regions like #Flanders, #Brussels, and #Wallonia, where many avoid smear tests. We can work together to ensure no #woman or people with a #cervix is left behind in the effort to #eliminate #cervicalcancer. 

🌸Empowerment Through Awareness: Preventing Cervical Cancer🌸 Did you know that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer, yet it continues to affect thousands of women every year? It's time to change that narrative and empower ourselves and our communities with knowledge and proactive measures. 🔍 Understanding Cervical Cancer: This disease originates in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. Most cases are caused by certain strains of human papillomavirus (HPV), but factors like smoking and early sexual activity can also increase the risk. 🛡️ Prevention is Key: We hold the power to significantly reduce our risk of cervical cancer through lifestyle choices and preventive measures. Eating well, staying active, and avoiding tobacco are crucial steps. Equally important is getting vaccinated against HPV, which offers robust protection against this cancer. 💡 Prevention through Vaccination: HPV vaccination isn't just for girls – it's recommended for both genders before becoming sexually active. It's safe, effective, and a vital tool in our fight against cervical cancer. 🔍 Recognizing Symptoms: Awareness is our first line of defense. Understanding the symptoms, such as abnormal vaginal bleeding or pelvic pain, empowers us to seek medical attention promptly, potentially saving lives through early diagnosis and treatment. 🔬 Screening Saves Lives: Regular screenings like Pap smears and HPV tests are essential. These tests can detect abnormal changes early when treatment is most effective. Remember, don't skip your screenings – they could be lifesaving. ⚕️ Treatment Options: If diagnosed, treatment options vary based on factors like cancer stage and overall health. From surgery to radiation therapy, multiple approaches exist to combat cervical cancer. 🌟 Take Action: Let's take charge of our health and spread awareness about cervical cancer prevention. Schedule your screening, encourage vaccination, and advocate for accessible healthcare. Towe can make a difference and improve women's health outcomes. #fantasticfriday #cervicalcancerawareness #cervicalcancerprevention #sdg3 #jivikahealthcare #trusttheprocess #hpvvaccination #womenhealth

What is purpose of #blooddrive ? Safe blood saves lives. Blood is needed by women with complications during pregnancy and childbirth, children with severe anaemia, often resulting from malaria or malnutrition, accident victims and surgical and cancer patients. There are specific situations when a person should not donate blood: 1. **Recent Illness or Infection**: If you've had a cold, flu, or any other infection in the past two weeks. 2. **Low Hemoglobin or Iron Levels**: If your hemoglobin levels are below the minimum required level. 3. **Chronic Conditions**: Certain chronic conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or severe heart disease. 4. **Recent Surgery or Medical Procedures**: If you've had surgery or certain medical procedures recently. 5. **Medication**: Certain medications can disqualify you temporarily or permanently. 6. **Travel**: Recent travel to regions where certain infectious diseases are prevalent (e.g., malaria). 7. **Pregnancy**: Women who are pregnant or have given birth in the past six weeks. 8. **Tattooing and Piercing**: If you've had a tattoo or piercing in the past 3-12 months (depending on the regulations). 9. **High-Risk Behaviors**: Engaging in behaviors that increase the risk of infectious diseases (e.g., IV drug use). 10. **Weight**: If you weigh less than the minimum requirement, typically around 50 kg (110 lbs). 11. **Blood Disorders**: Conditions like hemophilia or other bleeding disorders. 12. **Cancer**: Certain types of cancer and recent cancer treatments may disqualify you. The frequency at which a person can donate blood depends on the type of blood donation and the individual's health. Here are some general guidelines: 1. Whole Blood Donation: - Men: Every 12 weeks (3 months) - Women: Every 16 weeks (4 months) 2. Double Red Cell Donation: - Every 16 weeks (4 months) 3. Platelet Donation: - Every 7 days, up to 24 times per year 4. Plasma Donation: - Every 28 days These intervals are recommended to ensure the safety of both the donor and the recipient. Donors must also meet specific eligibility criteria, such as age, weight, and medical history, before they can donate blood. It's essential to check with the blood bank or donation center for specific guidelines and to schedule an appointment. - #DonateBlood - #SaveLives - #BloodBank - #HealthAndWellness - #GiveBack - #CommunityService
