25% Women in Wales Do Not Go For Cervical Cancer Screening

Cancer screening has been known to save lives of many people. Many health experts adjudicated in favor of regular screening. The best way to tackle any form of cancer is to ensure that it is diagnosed at an early stage. It also increases the chances of any person to survive. But a latest figures by the charity Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust show that at least one in four women fails to go for cervical cancer screening in Wales. What is more profound is the fact that Cardiff has recorded the nation's lowest figures.

These figures are very worrying and highlight the ignorance among women. In 2010/11, almost 40,000 women in Cardiff did not have the cervical screening test. The main reason sought for such low number can be increasingly busy lives, surgery opening times and a fear of the test for the low uptake.

There are stories of women who missed the test, but at a later stage were made aware of the bad news. Rather than waiting for the disease to surface, it is always advised to get yourself checked so that diagnose can start at an early stage. There is age old saying that prevention is always better than cure.
