Michelle Welch+FollowAt-Home Cervical Cancer Tests Are Here!Big news: you can now screen for cervical cancer at home! The American Cancer Society just updated their guidelines to say self-collected vaginal swabs (like the Teal Wand) are officially okay for HPV testing. Clinician-collected samples are still preferred, but this move could make screening way more accessible—especially for folks in rural areas. Remember: start screening at 25, and keep it up every 3-5 years until 65. This could seriously help close the gap in cancer care! #Health #BodyHealth #CervicalCancer30Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowAt-Home Cervical Cancer Test? Game Changer!Major update: you might soon be able to screen for cervical cancer from home—no more awkward pap smears or pelvic exams. The FDA just approved a self-swab kit that lets you collect your own sample to test for HPV, the main cause of cervical cancer. With rates rising among younger women and screenings dropping, this could make a huge difference. More people getting tested = more lives saved. Would you try this at-home kit? #Health #BodyHealth #CervicalCancer20Share
