Take A Free Cervical Cancer Risk Check in 1 Minute
Cervical cancer is preventable and treatable when detected early. Answer a few questions to know your risk and what to do next.
Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women in the Philippines. Despite being highly preventable, many women are diagnosed at late stages due to low screening rates and lack of awareness. This free cervical cancer risk check is designed to help women quickly assess their risk and understand when to seek screening or medical consultation.
Why Checking Your Cervical Cancer Risk Matters
Why Check Your Risk?
- Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers
- Many women have no symptoms until late stages
- Early screening saves lives
IMPORTANT NOTICE
⚠️ If you have symptoms such as bleeding after intercourse, abnormal bleeding, or persistent discharge, seek medical consultation immediately.
WHO-Aligned Cervical Cancer Screening Risk and Urgency Questionnaire
DISCLAIMER: This tool is a screening-priority questionnaire only. It does not diagnose cervical cancer. Women with symptoms such as post-coital bleeding, persistent abnormal bleeding, or persistent discharge should seek clinical evaluation even if their score is low.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are early signs of cervical cancer?
Early cervical cancer often has no symptoms, which is why screening is very important.
However, warning signs that should not be ignored include:
- Bleeding after sexual intercourse
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods or after menopause)
- Persistent vaginal discharge (especially foul-smelling or unusual in color)
- Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
⚠️ If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical consultation immediately—even if your risk score is low.
Who should get screened for cervical cancer?
Women aged 25 to 65 years old should undergo regular cervical cancer screening.
You should prioritize screening if you:
- Have ever been sexually active
- Have never been screened before
- Have multiple sexual partners (or partner with multiple partners)
- Have symptoms such as abnormal bleeding or discharge
- Are immunocompromised (e.g., HIV, long-term illness)
In the Philippines, screening is especially important because most women are not screened regularly, leading to late diagnosis.
Is cervical cancer preventable?
Yes—cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers.
Prevention is possible through:
- HPV vaccination (ideally before sexual activity, but can still benefit adults)
- Regular screening (VIA, Speculoscope-Assisted VIA, HPV DNA testing, or Pap smear)
- Early treatment of pre-cancerous lesions
With proper prevention and early detection, cervical cancer can be stopped before it becomes life-threatening.
How often should I get screened for cervical cancer?
Screening frequency depends on the method used:
- Speculoscope-Assisted VIA (Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid): every 3 years
- VIA (Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid): every 3 years
- Pap smear: every 3 years
- HPV DNA test: every 5 years
Your doctor may recommend earlier or more frequent screening if:
- You have symptoms
- You had abnormal results before
- You are at higher risk

Warning Signs of Cervical Cancer You Should Not Ignore
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it remains a major health problem in the Philippines.
Many women do not experience symptoms until the disease is already advanced.
However, certain warning signs should never be ignored:
⚠️ Key Symptoms:
- Bleeding after sexual intercourse
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods or after menopause)
- Persistent vaginal discharge (especially foul-smelling or unusual color)
- Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
If these symptoms persist—especially for more than 2 weeks—they require medical evaluation.
Cervical Cancer in the Philippines: Why Early Screening is Critical
In the Philippines, cervical cancer screening remains low, with only around 1–2% of women undergoing regular screening. Programs using Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA), HPV testing, and digital screening tools are being developed to improve access—especially in underserved communities. Early screening can prevent progression to cancer and allows for immediate treatment when detected early.
- Around 12 Filipinas die every day from cervical cancer
- Cervical Cancer screening rates remain very low (around 1–2%)
- Many cases are diagnosed late, when treatment is more difficult
The GOOD NEWS:
Cervical cancer is highly preventable through:
- HPV vaccination
- Regular screening
- Early treatment
