September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. 💜
This month, we’re raising awareness about gynecologic cancers and the importance of knowing your risk, recognizing potential warning signs, and staying up to date with recommended screenings.
Gynecologic cancers can take many forms, and each has its own risk factors, symptoms, and treatment considerations. That’s why understanding your health and talking with your healthcare provider about concerns is so important.
A little-known fact: cervical cancer is the only gynecologic cancer with a routine screening test. Pap tests and HPV testing can help detect changes early, when they may be easier to treat. For other gynecologic cancers, there are no routine screening tests for people without symptoms, making it especially important to know your risk, recognize changes in your health, and talk with your healthcare provider about any concerns.
Pay attention to changes in your health, know what’s normal for you, and don’t hesitate to talk with your healthcare provider about symptoms or concerns.
Awareness, early detection, and regular preventive care can make a difference. 💜
Let’s keep the conversation going and support everyone affected by gynecologic cancer.
