Cervical cancer is one of the major health concern in India. To curb this up, cervical cancer screening is done in reproduction age group patients to diagnose it. It is a one-minute painless opd procedure in which secretion around the cervix is taken for testing. It is called a pap smear test. Another more specific test is liquid-based cytology (LBC) which is also done in a similar way. The report comes within 2 days. Cervical cancer vaccine comes in the form of injections. Total 3 doses of injections are to be taken over 6 month period. I request all women to undergo cervical cancer screening and vaccination and stay healthy always.
