The sense of dreading the idea of visiting the doctor for a check-up is something we are all familiar with. It’s really simple to put it off, particularly if it’s a PAP smear.

It is said that though that brief and frequently unpleasant test could save your life. By identifying any abnormal cells before they become problematic, a PAP smear looks for early indicators of cervical cancer. You should definitely consider it as a minor inconvenience for a great deal of comfort.

Lalla Hirayama, a TV Host, entrepreneur and actress recently took to her Instagram account to recognise this as an important check-up and through her personal experience cannot stress enough just how beneficial a PAP smear is for your health in the long run. It serves as a reminder of the importance of taking proactive measures toward prevention or recovery and taking into account the entire body, rather than just concentrating on particular health concerns.

One can identify with Lalla’s observation of the struggle to maintain balance among the body, mind, and soul. Lalla speaking out about ignoring some health care issues, like cervical care, even though she knows how crucial it is, brings to light a battle that we all have: finding the time to pay attention to every aspect of our lives, even when we believe we are doing ‘enough’.

She also shared positive feedback on her diagnosis, stating, “I was diagnosed with CINIII and it was scary. But I’m on the other side and my biopsy results are good. A few large lesions but the margins where it was cut and burned were good so in 6 months. I’ll need to test to make double sure.”
