PAP Smear & HPV test in Prayagraj by Dr. Vartika Srivastava

Cervical cancer usually develops gradually and does not show symptoms until it is in an advanced stage. Therefore, screening tests like PAP Smear and HPV tests are essential to be done regularly for prevention and early management. A PAP smear or test involves collecting cell samples from the cervix to detect cancerous or pre-cancerous changes. It may also help diagnose infections and inflammations.

What is cervical cancer screening?

Cervical cancer screening refers to a medical test which is performed to identify the risks of cervical cancer before you have symptoms. The main aim of cervical screening is to detect and prevent the condition at an early stage, as the condition progresses gradually and becomes hard to treat in advanced stages. 

 

The cervix is a narrow canal which connects the uterus to the vagina. It serves as a passage for menstrual blood, sperm and childbirth. During pregnancy, the cervix remains tightly closed to protect the developing fetus and only opens during childbirth and delivery. It is recommended by experts that anyone with a cervix must undergo regular cervical cancer screenings.

PAP Smear & HPV Test

It can be done in two ways : 

 

  1. PAP Smear : It is also known as the PAP test. Under this, your healthcare provider scrapes out some cells from your cervix to check for cell changes, often caused by HPV or Human Papillomavirus. This is a quick and painless procedure which can be performed during a regular pelvic examination. Always consult an experienced gynaecologist like Dr. Vartika Srivastava to get a PAP smear in Prayagraj.
  1. HPV Test : The human papillomavirus test seeks cells for infection with high-risk HPV types, which can cause cervical cancer.
