As May marks the Cervical Cancer Consciousness Month, get checked and be more informed before this month ends.
Cervical cancer is a highly preventable and treatable disease yet it is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among Filipino women, according to the Department of Health.
Almost all cases of cervical cancer are caused by human papiloma virus (HPV), a common infection among sexually active women. Symptoms include unusual vaginal discharge, spotting after sex, prolonged menstrual bleeding, and vaginal bleeding in between periods.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than half of the cancer deaths in the United States could have been prevented through lifestyle changes such as not smoking, drinking alcohol in moderation, exercise, getting enough sleep, and eating lots of fruits and vegetables.
Including lifestyle changes that promote both mental and physical well-being as a standard part of caring for cervical cancer survivors was among the study’s recommendations.
Having a healthy and sustainable lifestyle can boost the immune system to fight diseases and improve one’s emotional outlook.
