Don't forget to check your cervix. Dr. Farah Fattal/Syria

When was the last time you had a cervical exam? January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women in the world, but it is also one of the most preventable forms of cancer through regular routine screening. Cancer that affects the cervix does not have symptoms in its early stages, so it is important to conduct periodic examinations of the cervix, especially the cervical smear, even if the woman does not show any symptoms.
