Let’s find out how to check for free cervical cancer screening. It is recommended that women check their uterus, which is closely related to pregnancy and childbirth, through a checkup before problems arise.

Every year, many women undergo cervical cancer screening in Korea, but it is said that early treatment is difficult because it is difficult to diagnose based on early symptoms alone. If you have symptoms such as irregular bleeding, weight loss, or back pain, it may already have progressed to some extent.

In particular, it can occur in men as well, and it is said to be more effective in preventing women if men are vaccinated.

We hope you will receive support for the cost of cervical cancer screening and receive free screening every two years.

We will check who is eligible for free cervical cancer screening.

Uterine cancer symptoms
If you undergo periodic cervical cancer screening through health checkups, uterine cancer is often detected early, so it is recommended to receive cervical cancer vaccination to reduce the risk of developing it.

1. Bleeding

The most common symptom of uterine cancer is vaginal bleeding. If you are experiencing bleeding even though you are past menopause or are not in your reproductive cycle, it is recommended that you undergo a cervical cancer screening and take preventive measures such as cervical cancer injections according to the opinion of a specialist.
2. Increased discharge

Secretion may increase more than usual due to cervical cancer. If increased secretion is accompanied by a foul odor, it is recommended to get a checkup.
3. Hematuria and bloody stool

It is said that bloody stool or hematuria may occur. However, in this case, it is recommended that you undergo a cervical cancer screening as soon as possible, as it is possible that the cancer has progressed to some extent.

Precautions before cervical cancer screening
For those who are about to undergo a cervical cancer test, following a few precautions to ensure an accurate test can be of great help in increasing the accuracy of the test.

Since menstrual blood can affect the results of the examination, it is best to avoid menstruation and take the test 2-3 days after the end of the period. In addition, it is recommended not to use vaginal douches or body-type sanitary pads.
