What is Cervical Cancer Screening?
Cervical Cancer Screening is a simple medical test that helps find early changes in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the birth canal. These changes may develop into cancer over time if left untreated. By detecting these changes early, screening allows for treatment before serious problems develop, making it one of the most effective ways to prevent cervical cancer.
Cervical Cancer Screening involves a test known as Pap Smear, which collects a small sample of cells from the cervix to check for any abnormalities. The test for the human papillomavirus (HPV) is often done, since certain types of HPV are the main cause of cervical cancer. By examining the condition of the cervix and checking for the presence of certain viruses known to cause cancer, screening helps reduce the risk of serious illness. It offers a simple and reliable way to stay informed about reproductive health and take action before problems become more serious.
How It Works
Cervical Cancer Screening works by identifying early changes in the cells of the cervix that may develop into cancer over time. A sterile small brush tool will be used to gently collect cells from the cervix surface as well as around it, and smear to observe under microscope for abnormalities. These changes often occur without any symptoms, which is why regular screening is vital. The goal is to catch any abnormalities at an early stage, when they are easiest to treat.
