Prevention
Ask your health care provider about the HPV vaccine. Girls who receive this vaccine before they become sexually active reduce their chance of getting cervical cancer by 70%.
You can reduce your risk of developing cervical dysplasia by taking the following steps:
- Do not smoke. Smoking increases your risk of developing more severe dysplasia and cancer
- Get vaccinated for HPV between ages 9 and 26
- Do not have sex until you are 18 or older
- Practice safe sex, and use a condom
- Practice monogamy, which means you only have one sexual partner at a time
