When is the best time to do cervical cancer screening?

The sooner cervical cancer is detected, the more immediate it can be treated, and the condition can be controlled without threatening women's lives. Therefore, cervical screening should be done immediately to prevent cervical cancer. But cervical screening cannot be done at any time. When is the best time to do cervical screening?

1. When doing cervical screening, the best time to check is when your menstrual period is normal or about ten days after your menstrual period. In the case of cervical screening, there is no need to clean the vagina or insert vaginal suppositories within 72 hours before the test. In order to avoid inaccurate test results later, it is also forbidden to have sexual intercourse within two days before the test.

2. Cervical screening usually starts for women after the age of 25, because after the age of 25, the possibility of cervical cancer is greater. Cervical screening should also be done regularly for key people aged 30-40. Although cervical screening is not an item that requires routine physical examination, for the sake of women's own health and family harmony, it is still recommended that women take the initiative to do cervical screening.

How often should cervical cancer screening be done?

1. How often should cervical cancer screening be done? We should first talk about at what age to start cervical cancer screening. Generally speaking, women under the age of 21 are recommended to undergo cervical cancer screening. Because the incidence of cervical cancer in girls of this age group is relatively low, and the precancerous lesions of the cervix are relatively rare, the practical significance of cervical cancer screening is not great. Therefore, it is more appropriate for women to undergo cervical cancer screening after the age of 21. However, if a woman has had long-term sexual intercourse before the age of 21, she may also consider cervical cancer screening.

2. It is generally recommended that women undergo cervical cancer screening once a year. If the screening results are normal for two consecutive years, the screening frequency can be changed to once every three years. If you are a key target of cervical cancer, it is better to have a faster interval, but you should still do cervical cancer screening every year.
