Cancer Screening - Pap smear, HPV Test and Colposcopy in Dhakuria

Colposcopy, Pap smear, and HPV tests are cancer screening techniques for cervical cancer. High-risk human papillomavirus types linked to cervical cancer are found with the HPV test. Cells from the cervix are taken for the Pap smear to detect malignant or precancerous abnormalities. A doctor uses a colposcope to inspect the cervix during Colposcopy to find any abnormalities. In cases where anomalies are found, a Biopsy is frequently carried out for additional examination. These screenings are essential for cervical cancer early identification and prevention, which improves results with prompt intervention. The frequency of routine cancer screening varies by age and follows specific medical guidelines. 

By combining these screening techniques, diagnostic precision is improved. The Pap smear is used to find abnormalities in cells, whereas the HPV test is very sensitive in detecting infections that pose a significant risk. A Biopsy and visual evaluation are provided by Colposcopy. When combined, they provide a thorough strategy for preventing cervical cancer, allowing for early diagnosis and treatment and lowering the disease's incidence and fatality rates. Cervical health maintenance requires routine screenings and follow-ups, which the experts at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of Manipal Hospitals, Dhakuria, understand and work towards achieving better patient outcomes.
 

FAQ's

As with a Pap smear, an HPV test involves taking a sample of a woman's cervix cells. A pelvic exam involves the use of a speculum to gently open the vagina, followed by the collection of cervical tissue samples using a small brush or swab. The sample is thereafter sent to a lab for analysis to determine the presence of high-risk HPV types.
