How often should gynecological cancer screening be done

gynecological cancer screening is generally recommended to be conducted once every 1-3 years. The specific screening frequency needs to be comprehensively evaluated based on factors such as age, family history, and previous examination results. If there are no high-risk factors, women aged 21-29 can undergo cervical cytology examination every 3 years. Women aged 30-65 are recommended to undergo a combined cervical cytology test and HPV testing every 5 years, or a separate cervical cytology test every 3 years. Women over 65 years old may stop screening if their previous screening results are normal. In terms of breast cancer screening, women aged 40-44 can start annual breast ultrasound examination, and it is recommended that women aged 45 and above should start annual mammography combined with ultrasound. The high-risk population for ovarian cancer needs to undergo annual transvaginal ultrasound and CA125 testing from the age of 30-35. endometrial cancer screening is mainly targeted at postmenopausal women with abnormal bleeding, diagnosed through ultrasound and endometrial biopsy.

Daily attention should be paid to observing symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, changes in secretions, and lower abdominal pain. Maintaining a regular schedule, balanced diet, and moderate exercise can help reduce the risk of cancer. Avoid long-term use of estrogen drugs and control weight within the normal range. People with a family history of genetics should start screening in advance and shorten the interval time. All abnormal screening results require timely re examination or further diagnosis and treatment.
