Ladies,would you rather endure Smear Tests or avoid it?

With recent statistics indicating that 64 of every 100 Nigerian women diagnosed of cervical cancer die annually of the disease, then it is imperative for every woman age 20 and above to go for Smear Test annually.

Although, investigations revealed that most women dislike the test globally, owing to the pain usually experience during the examination, a radiologist, Prof. Ifeoma Okoye, attributed this non-compliance on women’s part to the cause of premature death of many females in Nigeria.

Citing the result of a study by Cervical Cancer Global Crisis Card, of the 14,550 cases of cervical cancer diagnosed in women of 15 to 44 years of age annually in Nigeria, as many as 9,659 of them die.

Driving the issue home to individuals, granted that faith in God works, but which is wise decision, abscond from cervical cancer screening and waste your precious life or attend annual Smear Test and prevent the virus?

Please lets have your views, probably your personal experience on this.

Have a nice weekend
