In this must-listen episode of The Period Whisperer, I’m joined by Dr. Cheruba Prabakar, a board-certified OBGYN and minimally invasive surgeon, to talk about a crucial health topic for women in perimenopause: cervical cancer. Dr. Prabakar is here to shed light on the latest developments in cervical cancer screening, including the revolutionary self-collection HPV test—an FDA-approved, less invasive alternative to the traditional Pap smear.

In this episode, Dr. Prabakar answers the questions you’ve been wondering about, from what causes cervical cancer to how you can take proactive steps for prevention. If you’re a woman in perimenopause, this episode is packed with valuable information to help you take control of your health.
