Cervical Cancer Screening (PAP Smear / HPV Testing)

Cervical cancer screening is a critical preventive gynecological service that helps detect early changes in the cells of the cervix before they progress into cancer. Regular screening significantly reduces the risk of cervical cancer by identifying abnormalities at an early and highly treatable stage. The two most effective screening methods used today are the Pap Smear and HPV (Human Papillomavirus) Testing, often performed together for comprehensive evaluation.

A Pap Smear is a simple and safe procedure in which a small sample of cells is gently collected from the cervix during a routine pelvic examination. These cells are examined in a laboratory to detect precancerous or cancerous changes. HPV testing identifies the presence of high-risk HPV strains responsible for the majority of cervical cancer cases. Since HPV infections can exist without symptoms, testing plays a vital role in early detection and prevention.

Cervical cancer screening is recommended for women starting at the age of 21 and should be continued at regular intervals as advised by a gynecologist. The procedure is quick, usually taking only a few minutes, and causes minimal discomfort. Routine screening allows doctors to monitor cervical health over time and take prompt action if any abnormalities are found.

Our gynecology services provide accurate, confidential, and compassionate cervical cancer screening using modern diagnostic techniques. We focus on patient comfort, clear communication, and personalized care at every step. If abnormal results are detected, further evaluation and timely treatment are planned to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Regular Pap Smear and HPV testing empower women to take control of their reproductive health. Early detection not only saves lives but also provides peace of mind, long-term protection, and confidence through expert gynecological care and preventive healthcare practices.
