Cervical smear (Pap smear) and Human papillomavirus (HPV) test

Cervical smear (Pap smear) test

Due to the lack of obvious symptoms in the early stages of cervical cancer, all sexually active women in Hong Kong should undergo regular cervical cell examinations (Pap smear) for cervical cancer screening starting from the age of 25. Early detection of abnormal cervical cells allows for early treatment and helps reduce the chances of progression to cancer. The cervical cell examination (Pap smear) is a simple procedure and currently the most effective method for screening cervical cancer. Therefore, women in Hong Kong should undergo regular cervical cancer screening. According to relevant studies, individuals who undergo regular cervical examinations have a significantly reduced risk of cervical cancer, by as much as 90.4% compared to those who have not undergone screening.

Preparation for Pap Smear Examination

  • Pap smear examination should not be performed during menstruation.
  • Avoid sexual intercourse within 48 hours prior to the examination.
  • Avoid douching, using spermicides, and vaginal suppositories before the examination.

Procedure of Pap Smear Examination

  1. An instrument (speculum) is used to open the vaginal walls to visualize the cervix.
  2. A plastic brush is used to collect cell samples from the surface of the cervix.
  3. The cervical cell samples are placed in a specific container with a preservative solution for preservation.
  4. The instrument is removed, and the cell samples are sent to the laboratory for analysis.

    Human papillomavirus (HPV) test

    Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that is primarily transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact or sexual intercourse. There are over 100 different types of HPV, with approximately 40 types transmitted through sexual contact, leading to infections in the genital organs of both men and women. High-risk types of HPV are known to be a common factor in the development of cervical cancer. Additionally, HPV can cause genital warts, anal cancer, or vulvar cancer. HPV testing involves collecting a sample from the genital tract for DNA testing to detect the presence of the virus. This test helps identify the specific HPV types and assess the risk of developing related diseases, such as cervical cancer. It is an important tool in screening and early detection of HPV-related conditions.
