With lockdown rules lifted, it’s time to put health at the top of your list of priorities.
Many have been reluctant to visit clinics due to coronavirus, and as a result several women have missed or postponed their cervical cancer screening appointments.
Chrissy Teigen, however, is not letting the pandemic stand in her way of getting a pap smear test, and has even posted a picture of herself during the appointment wearing a face mask. In her caption, she highlighted that you should also be checked for any signs of breast cancer.

According to reports, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer for women in the UAE, but despite that fact it is also the most preventable female cancer if caught early. It is recommended that anyone aged between 25 and 65 should undergo papanicolaou test every three to five years.
During these uncertain times, it’s too easy to bench certain health checks that can be crucial to your future wellbeing. Despite the nervousness that is sometimes associated with cervical cancer screening, the medical staff make sure that the appointment is as swift and as comfortable as possible.
In fact with many choosing to stay home, right now might be the best time to book in for a quick check-up.
