Doctor Explains HPV, Cervix Cancer, Pap Smears | This info could save your life...

Recently, there’s been a lot of talk about the pain of exams and procedures involving the cervix - important, needed conversations for women and AFAB folks whose medical pain is often overlooked. But today, I’d like to emphasize why cervical exams and regular pap smears are SO important. As painful as they can be, they are powerful tools that can help us detect and prevent not just infections, but potentially deadly cancers.
