Pap Smear
The Papanicolaou/Pap test is a method of cervical screening used to detect potentially pre-cancerous and cancerous processes in the cervix (opening of the uterus or womb)
The Pap test is recommended for all women between the ages of 21 and 65 years old, and can be done in a doctor’s office or clinic. During the Pap test, the doctor will use a plastic or metal instrument, called a speculum, to widen your vagina.
This helps the doctor examine the vagina and the cervix, and collect a few cells and mucus from the cervix and the area around it. The cells are then placed on a slide or in a bottle of liquid and sent to a laboratory. The laboratory will check to be sure that the cells are normal.
Pap Smear is very effective to detect abnormality of the cervix. It can be done by a family doctor, gynecologists or a trained midwife. The procedure takes only few minutes and the result approximately takes 3 to 7 days. This screening test could find abnormal cells so they can be treated before they turn into cancer. The only cancer that pap test screens for is cervical.
Pap smear procedure is the commonest procedure conducted in the Clinic.
Prior to the test, Consultation will be delivered for your benefit, before procedure you are going to be prepared.
