Cervix screening is recommended for anyone with a cervix, between the ages of 25 and 69. Screening helps find cervical cancer before symptoms develop. And now there’s a new self-screening program to help detect cervical cancer that is an alternative to the Pap exam at the Doctor’s office. This one you do in the comfort of your home.

Will you try it?
