Dr Rosie: Cervical Screening Awareness Week

Cervical Screening Awareness Week is back from 15 to 21 June, shining a spotlight on the importance of regular check-ups and early detection.

In the latest health update on MIX56, Dr Rosie is encouraging everyone eligible to attend their cervical screening when invited. It’s a simple appointment that could make a life-saving difference.

Dr Rosie also talks through the signs of cervical cancer to be aware of. These can include unusual bleeding, discomfort during sex, or persistent pelvic pain. While these symptoms can be caused by other conditions, it’s always best to get them checked out.

Cervical screening isn’t about testing for cancer – it’s about preventing it. By spotting changes early, treatment can be offered before cancer develops.

If you’ve been putting it off, this week is the perfect reminder to book your appointment. It could be one of the most important things you do for your health.
