    The main way to find out if a patient has cervical cancer is to perform the Pap test. In the Pap test, a doctor will swap a sample of cells from the cervix and send it off to a laboratory for them to detect if there are any abnormalities. To confirm that the abnormalities are related to HPV, the doctor may then perform a DNA test of the Pap test sample. This DNA test is used to inform the doctor on whether the patient has a high-risk HPV which can cause cancer. This specific test is recommended for women who are at least 30 years old.

    Because as opposed to forcing a woman’s cervix open, we now utilize the gemeprost and misoprostol hormones to help soften and dilate the cervix; this mimics the genital movements that can be found during actual childbirth, and these natural stimulation then creates less threat to the woman. And similarly in 2001, the progesterone hormone was determined as a contributing role to maintaining pregnancies, later paving way for the dug mifepristone. Mifepristone is a drug that was developed to assist a woman who wished to terminate her pregnancy by shutting off the effect of the progesterone, which would then reader the woman’s body completely unable to maintain her pregnancy. This drug is often used congruent lay with the aforementioned cervical-softening hormones (gemeprost and misoprostol), and thus was antecedent to the procedure for medical abortion. A new study led by Gordon Smith from the University of Cambridge, moreover, has provided research that exemplifies how the number of defective pregnancies and/or birth following abortion has progressively decreased since the 1980’s; in fact, from 2000 onwards, the strong risk factor for such circumstances is virtually nonexistent.

    Unusual symptoms occur such as painful urination, abdominal pain, and even a fever, are typical red flags that an infection could be present, but with chlamydia many of the obvious symptoms such as a cloudy discharge are not present making this a sleeper epidemic. This is a serious risk when it comes to unprotected sexual activities, because unless there are evident or abnormal signs it goes untreated, “Teenage girls are especially likely to contract it, in part because their cervixes aren't yet fully developed, which makes them more vulnerable to infection. According to some studies, young women aged 15 to 19 account for as many as 46 percent of diagnosed chlamydia cases” (Bierma, 2015, n.p.). Transmission from one partner to the next can be prolific unless a condom is used correctly every time the unaware infected host participates in sexual activity.
