Very few women think about having a routine gynecological exam. However, most uterine fibroids do not cause typical symptoms in their early stages. The disease can only be detected through examinations. Therefore, regular gynecological examination will help prevent as well as detect the disease early to have the most appropriate treatment.
In short, the HPV vaccination that prevents cervical cancer does not prevent fibroids in women. To prevent the formation of these fibroids, you need to have a proper diet as well as a healthy lifestyle and safe sex.
