Additionally, in the midst of fulfilling the demands of life, they forget about their own personal needs. Self-care is oftentimes left out or place at the bottom of the to-do-list. However, taking time to care for oneself is essential, especially for one’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

JOIN KITI AND DR PRATT ON CERVICAL CANCER AWARENESS
Not all cancers have causes that can be traced so definitively, but in the case of cervical cancer, human papillomavirus (HPV) is usually the culprit, notes WebMD. The source stresses there are many forms of HPV virus, and not all of them can lead to cancer.
HPV is spread through intimate contact, it adds. It some cases, there may be genital warts, and in some cases no symptoms at all. In fact, “Most adults have been infected with HPV at some time,” explains the site. This is why it’s important to follow regular screening schedules to catch any signs early – there’s a pap test to detect any cell mutations, and an HPV test that looks for the virus as a root cause of cell changes.
Dr Pratt currently serves a leadership role in the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at The Princess Margaret Hospital and at Doctors’ Hospital.
“I am responsible for women’s health in both the gravid and non-gravid state. My primary focus is disease prevention through timely screening and patient education. ”
