Cervical Cancer Awareness: Prevention & Treatment | Dr. Bagya Lakshmi

In this episode of the Yashoda Health Podcast, host Dr. Lakshmi sits down with Dr. Bagya Lakshmi, Head of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Laparoscopic Robotic Surgeon at Yashoda Hospitals, to shed light on cervical cancer—one of the most preventable yet under‑recognized women’s cancers. Drawing on over three decades of experience, Dr. Bagya Lakshmi shares her journey into gynecology, the evolution of women’s health care, and why regular screening and HPV vaccination are critical. You’ll learn about the anatomy and vulnerability of the cervix, red‑flag symptoms like unusual discharge or bleeding, key risk factors, and how simple interventions—Pap smears, liquid‑based cytology, and timely vaccination—can intercept the disease long before it becomes life‑threatening. They’ll also debunk common myths and discuss how open conversations around women’s health can empower every patient.

Early detection saves lives—so make that appointment today. Because prevention is the best cure.
