According to the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), breast and reproductive system cancers appear in 9th and 10th positions, respectively, with the highest mortality rates in women. This reality can be changed if we are up to date with the gynecological check-up.

​

The recommendation is that women should go to the gynecologist and undergo exams at least once a year, especially after the first menstruation, since some diseases do not have symptoms and act silently on the female reproductive system.

​

Routine exams should be done periodically as a form of prevention. Through them it is possible to diagnose diseases and treat them properly, even in the initial phase.
