🎗️ MYTH MONDAY | Separating Myths from Facts

MYTH: Only women who have had many sexual partners get HPV.

FACT: Anyone who is sexually active can acquire HPV—regardless of the number of sexual partners. HPV is extremely common and can be transmitted even with a single instance of sexual contact.

đź’ˇ TAKE-HOME MESSAGE:
HPV does not discriminate. Let’s replace stigma with knowledge: get vaccinated, follow recommended cervical cancer screening, and stay informed.

Protecting against HPV is not about judging someone’s past—it’s about preventing cancer and protecting health.

📢 Share this post to help replace myths with facts and reduce the stigma surrounding HPV.

A biopsy can sound intimidating—but understanding what it is can make the process a little less overwhelming. ❤️

🔬 What is a biopsy?
A biopsy is a procedure where a small sample of tissue or cells is taken and examined under a microscope. It helps your healthcare team understand what is causing an abnormal finding and determine the right next step.

For gynecologic cancers, the type of biopsy depends on where the abnormality is found—such as the cervix or the lining of the uterus (endometrium).

A biopsy is an important tool for getting the right diagnosis and planning the right treatment. Knowledge brings clarity, and the right diagnosis helps guide the right care.

📌 Have questions about biopsies or your test results? Talk to your healthcare provider and don’t be afraid to ask questions.

“Having a biopsy makes cancer worse or makes it spread.”

A biopsy can understandably feel frightening—especially when you are already worried about cancer. But having a biopsy does not make cancer worse or cause it to spread.

🔬 A biopsy is a carefully performed procedure that obtains a small sample of tissue or cells so that a pathologist can determine whether cancer is present and, if so, what type it is. This information is essential in choosing the most appropriate treatment.

In most situations, the benefits of getting an accurate diagnosis far outweigh the risks of the procedure. Your doctor will also choose the safest biopsy technique based on the location and characteristics of the suspected lesion.

❤️ Take-home message:
A biopsy is a step toward answers—not a cause of harm. It helps your healthcare team understand exactly what you’re facing so you can receive the right treatment, sooner.

If your doctor recommends a biopsy, ask questions, understand the procedure, and make an informed decision—don’t let fear delay a potentially important diagnosis.
