Cervical Cancer Screening in Delhi : Singh Nursing Home

Cervical cancer screenings are tests that are done to detect early-stage cervical cancer or any presence of precancerous cells in the cervix. 

The cervix is the lower and narrow part of the uterus, a small canal-like structure that connects the uterus and the vagina. It is also known as the gatekeeper for the reproductive organs, and the main role of the cervix is to allow the menstrual blood to flow out from the body through the uterus and the vagina. During pregnancy, it remains closed, and at the time of childbirth, it thickens and dilates so that the baby can be passed through the birth canal.

Cervical screenings are essential in every aspect, as they prevent and remove the suspected precancerous cells from the body before it turns cancerous.

What Is Pap Smear?

Cervical cancer screenings can be done in two ways: a Pap smear or an HPV test. A pap smear test is a cervical cancer screening tool which is done for the detection of cervical cancer. During this screening, your doctor scraped out some cells from your cervix to check whether it is precancerous or not. It is an outpatient procedure performed at a doctor’s clinic or in a hospital. During the process, you might feel uncomfortable or in pain, but it can go away after some time. 

During a Pap smear, doctors also perform an HPV test, as it is one of the leading causes of cervical cancer. Anyone beyond the age of 21 can get a Pap smear. At Singh Nursing Home, our team of gynaecologist experts provides advanced cervical cancer screening in Delhi and targeted treatments.

Who Can Get a Pap Smear?

Any individual with a cervix, starting at age 21 and up to the age of 65, can get a Pap smear. It is recommended that women between the ages of 21 and 29 years get a Pap test every 3 years. Women ages 30 to 65 years should undergo a Pap smear every 3 years and a Pap and HPV test combined every 5 years. And women ages 65 years or older can stop undergoing the screenings if their past results were normal.

What Happens During a Pap Smear?

A Pap smear is a screening test used for the early detection of cervical cancer. It is a quick procedure which is performed at a doctor’s clinic or in a hospital. During this procedure, you will be asked to lie on your back on the operation table. After which, your doctor gently inserts a speculum into your vagina to hold the vagina apart and to view the cervix clearly. With the help of a small brush or a tiny plastic spatula, your doctor scrapes out some of the cells from the cervix and then sends them to the laboratory for further examination under the microscope.

What Does a Pap Result Mean?

A Pap smear can have a normal or an abnormal result. A normal Pap smear result means the cells which are collected from your cervix by the doctor are having no signs of cancer or any precancerous changes. An abnormal Pap result also does not necessarily mean that the woman is having cervical cancer. However, the result may come out abnormal because there is any presence of abnormal cells, infection or precancerous changes. If your Pap result came back abnormal, your healthcare provider will perform other tests to confirm the presence of cervical cancer.
