Cervical Cancer Screening

Cervical Cancer Screening

Author: American Sexual Health Association September 28, 2015 Duration: 15:47
Cervical cancer screening used to all be so simple—women were told just go for your annual Pap. But now we have new tests to screen for cervical cancer, plus updated guidelines that, for most women, mean routine screening is done every few years rather than annually. The changes are confusing not only to women but their healthcare providers, too. So to sort all this out, we're talking today with Dr. Warner Huh, Division Director and Professor in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Alabama, Birmingham.

Talking about sexual health can feel daunting, but it's a conversation that touches every part of our lives, from our physical fitness and personal relationships to the broader culture we live in. Sex+Health, presented by the American Sexual Health Association, creates a grounded, accessible space for exactly that discussion. Instead of clinical jargon or oversimplified advice, this podcast brings forward the voices of medical professionals and sexuality experts in candid conversations that feel both informative and relatable. You'll hear thoughtful explorations on how sexual well-being is inextricably linked to overall health, breaking down topics that are often shrouded in mystery or stigma. Each episode is built on providing reliable information and practical resources, empowering you to make informed decisions about your own body and relationships. The goal isn't just to share facts, but to foster a deeper understanding of how embracing sexual health contributes to a more fulfilling and balanced life. Tune in for a straightforward, expert-led dialogue that respects your intelligence and curiosity.
