January Is #CervicalAwarenessMonth #AfricanAmeric January Is #CervicalAwarenessMonth #AfricanAmerican women have significantly higher rates of #cervicalcancer and higher death rate from cervical #cancer compared to non-Hispanic #whitewomen. Why? It could be that Black women are less aware that #HPV causes cervical cancer #Minority women may be less likely to have the HPV vaccine recommended. Black women may trust cervical cancer information from family members, religious organizations and media instead of their doctors due to mistrust in #healthcare. Perceived #financial barriers to cervical screening, appointment, follow up and treatment costs may present challenges. What can be done? 1) Know your symptoms like irregular discharge, bleeding after intercourse, #pelvicpain 2) Know the guidelines about when to get your #Papsmear and #HPVtesting (depending on age, it may be 3 or 5 years) 3) Find a #physician that you may identify with more and trust. Consider clinics and organizations that may have free screening and educational sessions. 4)#Hospitals and organizations should be more transparent about costs related to screening. #Healthiswealth! #drmaggiecadet 💜

#Investinyourself… Life can get so busy with wo #Investinyourself… Life can get so busy with work,school and all the things we have to do to make the hamster 🐹 wheel keep going round and round. I have always loved the arts, dancing, #iceskating, #yoga, playing the piano 🎹 and listening to classical music 🎶 I used to be part of a #ballet 🩰 and dance company when I was younger and I loved being able to express myself through dance multiple times a week when I was younger. I felt free and liberated. Last week, I brought my daughter to the dance studio after my workout and just started practicing a #choreographed dance. It felt so great to get back to going what I love. My daughter saw how much joy I had dancing. So if you can, invest in something that brings a smile to your face. Invest in your happiness no matter what it is. Keep finding ways to jump start your day and rejuvenate. Invest in yourself. 💜, Dr. Maggie #drmaggiecadet
