Facts About Women's Reproductive Health and Cervical Cancer

Adult women today live under a lot of pressure -- from forces at work, their family responsibilities and details of everyday life. It's a challenge for these women to successfully manage all the pressure without it influencing their health.

For women between the ages of 25 and 45, healthcare can sometimes fall far down the list of priorities. Studies show that these women may have only one doctor visit each year. During this same time period, many serious health conditions can develop. Women who lead a healthy lifestyle and practice preventive healthcare are much better prepared to avoid serious disease or illness.

Information is the key to helping women lead healthy and productive lives. Cancer is the leading cause of death among young adult women in the United States killing 25 percent of women before they can reach their full potential. Cancer ranks second in the leading cause of death among the entire US population affecting 23 percent of all Americans, just behind heart disease.
