You have the option to do it yourself using the swab or a trained health professional can assist you. Second option is a cervical sample taken by a trained health professional. It is your choice.
HPV screening and cervical smear tests are crucial for maintaining women’s health. These tests help detect abnormal cell changes and identify high-risk HPV strains that can cause cervical cancer. By undergoing regular screening, women can reduce their risk of developing cervical cancer and ensure timely treatment if any issues are detected.
