CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING STUDY

There is a disturbing report out of the centers for disease control tonight. It says the most common reason women say they do not get regular pap tests to screen for cervical cancer is because their doctors never recommend the test.

When you have your menstrual period, you may get mild to bad menstrual cramps or pain in your abdomen or back. You may also have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, a headache, or lightheadedness. Some or all of these problems may start a day or two before your menstrual period and last for part of or all of your menstrual period. Menstrual cramps are caused by contractions of your uterus as the blood leaves your uterus. (Read more about Menstrual Cramps)
