Cervical cancer is often incorrectly associated with older women. Why should young women be concerned about the disease?
Its trueyou always hear, “Oh, cervical cancer is a slow-growing disease” or “Women dont need to worry about it until theyre in their 40s or 50s.” But the reality is, young women especially need to get regular Pap smears and pay attention to any weird signs their bodies may be sending them (bleeding after sex is a big one) so they can detect the symptoms of cervical cancer earlybefore it ever gets to the point that theyd need a hysterectomy or chemotherapy and radiation.
