Why do you need a Pap test (cytological examination)?
What does health bring to a woman?
It is clear that a woman is healthy at the same time, but this is a healthy picture: on the skin side there is a “volume” that consists of many factors. Physical health in our country is represented by the full face, psychological health by the profile, mental health by the inner light, and a lot of additional factors like accessories, without them it’s simply boring.
Stress, lack of normal sleep, worries about loved ones and those we knew during the war, changes in food, moving, work in emergency mode – all of this takes its toll on a healthy woman. Our body suffers the most for everything; it reacts to absolutely all stimuli.
What kind of illnesses can occur without symptoms?
In the female body itself, asymptomatic illnesses, such as precancerous illnesses of the cervix, cancer of the mammary tract and cervix, can be to blame.
Various infections and illnesses can also be asymptomatic, again due to stress, moving, etc.
What kind of tests and how often do women need to go through in order to proactively and quickly diagnose them?
Obligatory investigations include a PAP test (cytological examination) – screening for cervical cancer. You need to go through it once a day or more often, for additional indications. Another obligatory treatment is ultrasound of mammary lumps, which requires work in the first phase of the menstrual cycle (on the 6-10th day after the beginning of menstruation). When entering the menopausal period, skin cancer patients are required to undergo mammography. These are simple treatments and cancer prevention for women.
Doctors at the I.D.Clinic also recommend that you systematically study the ZPSH, especially if there were unprotected contacts with a new partner. Even asymptomatic transmission of infectious diseases can also have a negative effect on the cervix.
What kind of tests does the gynecologist indicate in an hour?
At I.D.Clinic, tests are ordered as part of the procedure or for the patient and are ordered individually during a visit to the gynecologist.
What tests can a woman do on her own before visiting the doctor?
In the classic option, you first need to see a doctor, and a plan for follow-up and laboratory tests is established. Even only a doctor can appreciate the effectiveness of these or other treatments.
Why is everyone talking about the importance of CC screening?
Unfortunately, in Ukraine, cervical cancer ranks third in terms of mortality among malignant neoplasms in women; on the European continent as a whole – only 7th.
All through the lack of regular close examinations at the gynecologist and lack of care for your health.
Cervical cancer is one of the few oncological diseases that can be unique. In the extreme case, breed in the early stages without any special consequences for the female. There is an important point here – you should immediately go to the doctor as soon as the woman still feels absolutely healthy. Even in the early stages, cervical cancer is asymptomatic and can only be detected with a regular gynecological examination.
What diagnostic tests for cervical cancer do doctors at I.D.Clinic recommend?
The time between the onset of pre-cancerous disease and the development of cervical cancer is quite long and provides great opportunity for screening, diagnosis and treatment of pre-cancerous diseases, which makes it possible to stop its progression to cancer.
Most cases of cervical cancer (approximately 70%) are associated with infection with human papillary virus (HPV), which is transmitted by HIV. Therefore, screening for cervical cancer should include a PAP test, a PLR test for the presence of IDP, monitoring the microflora of the urogenital tract and optionally monitoring for PVSS.
What diagnostic methods are the gold standard?
Both sample and complex packages for cervical cancer screening are available on the market. Based on the history, history and clinical picture, the doctors at I.D.Clinic can treat the woman comprehensively. The gold standard is cytological investigation and co-testing for IDPs.
Traditional cytology Pap test is a combination of classical morphological methods with sophisticated technologies for sample preparation. Real cytology will provide the cytologist with a drug of optimal strength, in which all important diagnostic information is saved and any objects that can compress the drug, complicate it interpretation, cause ambiguity. In addition, regular cytology is an excellent way not to waste fluid from the sample.
Cobas HPV tests are automated, clear in vitro tests for the identification of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in infected individuals. The test allows differentiation between the following types of IDP 16, IDP 18 and 12 other types of IDP of high oncogenic risk.
So, in order to ensure your gynecological health, it is enough to visit a gynecologist and make just a few observations.
Take care of your wife’s health at the I.D.Clinic medical center.
