Cervical Cancer Screening (Prevent Cervical Cancer Before It Starts)

· Those in Tokyo who want to detect early cervical changes.
· Those who want to check for high-risk HPV.
· Those who want to get regular screening from age 21 to 65.
· Those who wish to have peace of mind about cervical health.
· Those who wish to catch abnormalities early.

Cervical Cancer Screening is a medical process to detect abnormal or precancerous changes in the cervix early, before they develop into cancer. It uses tests like the Pap smear and HPV testing to identify cell changes or high-risk HPV infections that can lead to cervical cancer. Early detection through screening greatly increases the chances of successful treatment and prevention of cervical cancer, helping women maintain better reproductive health.

Cervical Cancer Screening involves collecting cells from the cervix using a small brush or spatula during a pelvic exam. These cells are then tested in a lab through two main methods: the Pap test, which examines the cells under a microscope for abnormalities, and the HPV test, which detects high-risk human papillomavirus types linked to cervical cancer. For women aged 30 and older, both tests are often done together (co-testing) to improve detection accuracy.

1. Consultation will be conducted.
2. You will lie on the exam table with feet in stirrups.
3. A speculum will be gently inserted.
4. Cells are collected from the cervix.
5. Samples will be sent to the laboratory.
6. Results will be reviewed and recommendations will be provided.

<Advantages>

· Simple and quick procedure
· Identifies high-risk HPV infections

<Limitations>
· Test results and analysis will be available after 5 to 7 days

Q1: Who should get screened?
A1: It is recommended for women aged 21 to 65 to have regular cervical cancer screenings. Women over 30 may have both a Pap test and an HPV test for better accuracy.

Q2: How often should I get screened?
A2: Screening frequency depends on age and previous results. Generally, a Pap test is done every 3 years, or every 5 years if combined with HPV testing.

Q3: What happens if my test results are abnormal?
A3: If abnormalities are found, the doctor may recommend follow-up tests like a colposcopy to examine the cervix more closely and decide if treatment is needed.

Q4: Can Cervical Cancer Screening prevent cancer?
A4: While screening does not prevent cancer directly, it helps detect precancerous changes early, allowing treatment before cancer develops.

Q5: Is HPV vaccination a replacement for screening?
A5: No. HPV vaccination reduces the risk of infection with cancer-causing HPV types but does not replace the need for regular cervical cancer screening.
