Cervical Cancer Screening And HPV Vaccination

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers among Indian women, but very few women know about it. It is most commonly caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). This virus remains dormant in the female genital tract for years, causing precancerous and cancerous changes in the cervix for years. Early detection of these precancerous changes offers the possibility of early treatment and can prevent the development of cervical cancer. International societies in the field of gynecology recommend having a PAPS test every 3 to 5 years from the age of 25.

It is the only vaccine-preventable cancer in women, as there is a safe and effective vaccine for young women. At Gynae Clinic, Dr. Neha Bansal is up to date with the latest developments in the field and offers PAP facilities for cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccinations for age groups.
