What should I know about cervical health?
South Asian Health — Women's Health25 June 2026
Cervical health is vital for women's overall well-being. Regular cervical screenings are essential for detecting cervical cancer early. The NHS recommends that women start cervical screening at age 25 and continue every three years until age 49, and then every five years until they are 64. These screenings help identify any abnormal cells that could develop into cancer. It’s also important to be aware of the HPV vaccination, which can prevent certain types of cervical cancer. If you have any concerns about your cervical health, consult your GP for advice and support.
