Advanced cervical cancers can be prevented by a simple visit to your doctor for a Pap smear. The Pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer where cells are scraped from the opening of the cervix and examined under a microscope. The American Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Cancer society recommend that women get their first Pap smear at age 21 and continue these tests every three years.
Even more, doctors suggest that once women reach the age of 30, they should receive a HPV test along with their routine Pap smears. They also add that HPV vaccines are strongly encouraged for males and females between the ages of nine and 26.
