September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month and Planned Parenthood of Louisiana and the Mississippi Delta is encouraging women to visit their health care providers to receive basic, preventive cervical cancer screenings and treatments to help save their lives. Cervical cancer is preventable with regular Pap tests, and for women ages 12-26, the HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccine offers protection against four strains of HPV that cause most cervical cancers and genital warts. Last year, PPLAMD health center staff provided nearly 3,000 cervical cancer screenings to women in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Please make sure that you and the women in your life visit a health care provider to receive basic, preventive cervical cancer screenings and treatments. Visit our website to find a Health Center near you. |
