Gynecological cancer screening
Gynecological cancer begins in a woman's reproductive organs. This type of cancer can develop in different places within your pelvis, which is the area below the stomach and in between the hip bones.
One of the best ways to catch gynecological cancer in its early stages is through preventive care. This includes yearly screenings with your obstetrician-gynecologists (OB/GYNs).
During this exam, your doctor will most likely conduct a Pap smear, annual pelvic exam and a test for human papillomavirus (HPV).
These measures help your doctor not only detect gynecological cancer but also identify any signs that suggest you may be at higher risk for the disease. During the exam, tell your doctor about any abdominal pain or urinary issues you've been experiencing. Your physician can then decide if additional tests are needed.
