So this week is known as Cervical Screening Awareness Week, a week in which all of us ladies can educate ourselves further on the importance of Cervical screening to make sure everything ‘down there’ is healthy and cancer free! As a brand we are super passionate about all things female related and so we feel it is imperative that we draw attention to the importance of Cervical screening smear tests. We want to shed a little light onto the importance of keeping up to date with your screening appointments by answering some FAQ’s regarding cervical cancer and screenings!

Cervical cancer accounts for 2% of all new cancer cases in females in the UK (2017) and is considered the 4th most common type of Cancer in women (2018). The absolute best way to prevent this type of cancer is to identify it as soon as possible, therefore meaning cervical screenings are essential in doing just that. Because cervical cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages, consistent screening is key in keeping tabs on what’s going on! 

For any more questions on the importance of cervical cancer screening, please follow the following link to ‘Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust’ page where you will find heaps more information on all things cervical cancer related. Here you can also donate to help support the charity!

We want to make sure all of you ladies stay fit & healthy and so we hope we have been able to bring awareness to this topic, potentially even influencing some of you to go and get your smear tests taken!
