Case A - Pap Smears:
A pap smear is a screening method used in medicine
to detect any early signs of cervical cancer in women.
This screening techniques is used to identifying
abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix – which is
the lower part of the uterus that connects to the
vagina. Early detection helps to prevent the
development of cancers/ diseases such as cervical
cancer by having early treatment.
During a pap smear a health care provider uses
a small tool to collect a sample of cells from
the cervix, these cells will then be taken to a
laboratory to be examined under a
microscope. The lab technicians then look for
any abnormalities in size, shape or
arrangement of the cervical cells.
, In some cases health care providers might
recommend HPV testing – which is virus that
can cause cervical cancer. Combining these
tests provide a more comprehensive
assessment of cervical health, this is
essential for women’s health.
Women usually get pap smears at the age
of 25 and continue at regular checkups
every 3 years, unless otherwise advised
by their health care provider.
To help prevent cervical cancer, these
screening tests are done early to identify
any abnormalities in the cells of the
cervix, if there are pre-cancerous
conditions then treatment can be offered
early to prevent progression of cervical
cancer.
