Introduction

Most serious conditions in women's health are far more treatable when caught early. Preventive screenings are the single most effective way to do that.

Cervical screening

HPV testing or a Pap smear is recommended for women aged 25 and above, typically every three to five years depending on the test.

Breast health

Monthly self-awareness, an annual clinical exam, and mammography from age 40 (or earlier with family history).

Key takeaways

  • Screening saves lives — most cancers are highly treatable when found early.
  • Screening schedules depend on age and personal risk; ask your clinician.

Frequently asked questions

Does screening hurt?

Most screenings involve only brief discomfort and take less than 15 minutes.
