According to WHO, Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women and when diagnosed early it is one of the most successfully treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is managed effectively.
At Regis and Reina, we advise women above 21 to check every 2 years and once 35 to schedule every other year. If after consistent checks, your result has always been negative, you can then reduce the pace of your checks and have one scheduled every 3 to 4 years.
To prepare for Pap test, please ensure you:
- Book an appointment for the test
- Inform the Doctor about all medicines you are on; including the birth control as they may affect your test result
- Please mention if you have had an abnormal pap result earlier
- Ensure you are not on your period as that might affect result accuracy
- Avoid in*******se and tampons use 24hrs before taking your test
- Avoid any va**nal medicines before the test.
