A small brush is used to collect a sample of cells from your cervix.<\/p>\n<p>The collected cells are then sent to a lab where a technician examines them under a microscope to check for any abnormalities. If there are signs of cancerous changes, Dr. Kandinov asks you to return to the office for additional screening \u2013 colposcopy. During this procedure more detailed and targeted biopsies of the cervix are performed.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:20px;--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:48;line-height:1.21;\">What role does HPV testing play in the Pap smear process?<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a group of more than 100 related viruses, some of which cause the vast majority of cervical cancers. HPV is a very common virus, and almost everyone will contract and fight off infection at some point in their lives. HPV testing is an important part of cervical cancer screening. Low-risk and high-risk HPV subtypes exist. The presence of high risk forms of the virus indicate an elevated risk of developing abnormal cervical cells.<\/p>\n<p>Vaccinations are available that can protect you against HPV infection. These are administered to teenagers before they become sexually active. To learn more about Pap smear and HPV screening, schedule a well-woman exam with Dr. Kandinov today.
