In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Mare Mbaye to discuss all things cervical cancer for Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.

• When should you get screened for cervical cancer?
• What are the symptoms of cervical cancer?
• What causes cervical cancer?
• What is HPV and what does the HPV vaccine protect you from
• Why Black women have a higher death rate from cervical cancer

Dr. Mare is an OBGYN in New York City. Her passion for women’s health began in medical school and was further solidified during residency where she noticed that many of her patients had limited exposure to basic information about their health. Her goal is to use her platform to reach a wider audience and provide them with easy to understand, concise and evidence-based information on various health topics.

In her spare time, she loves weight lifting, rock climbing, scuba diving, and affordable fashion.
