A Pap Smear is a simple, safe, and effective screening test used to detect early changes in the cervix that may lead to cervical cancer. Regular screening plays a vital role in early detection and prevention, allowing treatment before any serious condition develops.
We strongly emphasize preventive healthcare and encourage women to undergo routine cervical screening as part of their overall reproductive health care.
Cervical cancer often develops slowly and may not show symptoms in its early stages. A Pap Smear helps in:
Detecting abnormal cervical cells
Identifying early precancerous changes
Preventing cervical cancer through timely treatment
Monitoring cervical health over time
Pap Smear screening is generally recommended for:
Women aged 21 years and above
Sexually active women
Women with irregular bleeding or unusual discharge
Women with a history of HPV infection
As advised by a gynaecologist based on medical history
The frequency of screening depends on age and previous results, usually every 3 years, or as medically recommended.
