Cervical Cancer is preventable and, if diagnosed early, is relatively easy to treat. Yet 21 women die of it in the UK each week and thousands more women undergo distressing colposcopy treatment each year to manage precancerous cervical and vulval changes. Strategies for prevention and management include:

·      Sexual Abstinence

·      Vaccination

·      Cervical Smear

·      Colposcopy

 Genital Warts caused by HPV in both sexes, though not life threatening, are very distressing and can also be prevented by vaccination. The peak incidence is at age 18-20!
