Pap smears: It is vital that women get regular pelvic examinations and pap smears to help find cervical cancer early. The cervical cancer vaccine is an option now as well.

One sexual partner: While the chances of dysplasia/cancer are low when you have only have a single sexual partner, your partner may not have only have a single partner, and therefore could infect you with hpv, the most common cause of cervical cancer. Do a pap smear and you will know if you are at risk. Using condoms or other barrier methods during sex will decrease your risk.
