Understanding Genital PAP Smear in Gurgaon

What is Genital PAP Smear in Gurgaon?

The Genital PAP Smear test is a routine, painless screening procedure used to detect abnormal cells in the cervix, which could indicate potential issues such as cervical cancer or precancerous conditions. By collecting a sample of cells from the cervix, this test helps in the early identification and management of cervical health problems, guiding appropriate treatment and prevention strategies. This test is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg in Gurgaon.

The Genital PAP Smear test is recommended for women aged 21 to 65 and is done every three to five years based on a doctor's advice. It is often a part of routine pelvic exams or for those with risk factors, such as a history of human papillomavirus (HPV) or cervical cancer in the family. The test may be combined with HPV testing for more effective early detection, as HPV is a major risk factor for cervical cancer. Regular screening helps identify abnormal cell changes early, enabling timely treatment to reduce cancer risk.

During the test, a healthcare provider uses a speculum to open the cervix and collects a cell sample using a brush or spatula. You may need to provide a clinical history or doctor’s prescription, and it’s important to avoid sexual activity, tampons, or vaginal medications for 2 to 5 days before the test.

What does Genital PAP Smear measure?

The Genital PAP Smear test measures the presence of abnormal cells in the cervix by examining a sample of cervical cells under a microscope. This test is primarily used to detect precancerous changes or early signs of cervical cancer. The collected cells are analyzed to identify any deviations from normal cell structures, which could indicate potential issues such as dysplasia or malignancy. By assessing these cellular abnormalities, the Pap Smear helps in early diagnosis and facilitates timely intervention, enabling effective treatment and prevention of cervical cancer.
