Mature women are more active in the Ministry of Health’s screening program for free examinations and tests for cervical cancer. This was stated by the Medical Center of UMBAL – “St. Nicholas the Wonderworker” for a month and a half after the start of the campaign.
Free preventive examinations under the program are aimed at women in two age groups – from 20 to 29 years old. and from 40 to 49 years. In addition to a gynecological examination, they also include a free smear examination. Examinations are without a referral, without a user fee and regardless of whether the woman has health insurance. The only requirement under the program at this time is that women be between the ages of 20 and 29 and between 40 and 49. The goal is to reduce mortality from this type of cancer through early detection and timely treatment. It is defined as a “cancer of the young” because it is the second most common cancer among women between the ages of 15 and 44.
The second age group is decidedly more active and more proactive. Out of nearly 100 women examined in the St. Nikolay Chudtoverets” units are those 20 years old. At the same time, the consequences are more serious for them, if the changes in the cervix are not detected in time, explain obstetricians and gynecologists. Young women are yet to conceive and bear children. Often precancerous lesions of the cervix are diagnosed exactly during pregnancy, when carrying out surgical treatment for their removal can lead to premature birth and loss of the fetus. Ltreatment of cervical cancer in young women (resection, chemotherapy and/or radiation) makes future pregnancy impossible.
Screening aims to identify individuals in an apparently healthy population who are at higher risk for a health problem or condition so that early treatment or intervention can be offered. The reviews in MC “St. Nicholas the Wonderworker” will continue in December, with the appeal of obstetricians and gynecologists being women between 20 and 29 years old. to be more active and take advantage.
