Pap Smear Examination at Hermina Pandanaran Hospital

Hello Hermina Friends...

Pap Smear and HPV DNA Test are types of cervical cancer screening methods that work by detecting the HPV virus in women. What is the difference between a pap smear and an HPV DNA test? Here's the explanation!

A pap smear is a common screening method used to detect cervical cancer in women. A pap smear is done by taking a sample of mucus from cervical cells, then smearing it with a certain liquid to be examined in the laboratory. The results of the pap smear will be seen in the form of an image regarding the presence or absence of changes or abnormalities in the cervix. Abnormal changes in cervical cells can be an indication of the development of cancer.

The HPV DNA test is a form of screening to detect the causes of cervical cancer in women, especially high-risk HPV infections including HPV types 16 and 18. The HPV DNA examination method is carried out by taking a sample of cells from the cervix. Then, the sample will be examined in the laboratory to determine the presence or absence of genetic material (DNA) from HPV (human papillomavirus) in the cervical cells.

HPV examination, either pap smear or HPV DNA test is usually recommended for women aged 30-65 years as a form of screening or early detection of cervical cancer risk.
