Gynecological examination is important for early detection of problems in the reproductive system, such as infections, fibroids, cysts, changes in the cervix and cancer. Regular gynecological examinations help prevent serious health problems and enable timely treatment.

It is recommended that women have their first gynecological examination between the ages of 18 and 21 or when they become sexually active. Regular examinations should be performed at least once a year, depending on the state of health and the doctor's advice.

A gynecological examination is usually not painful, but it can be uncomfortable, especially if it is done internally or by taking a sample for a Pap test. In most cases, the pain is mild and short-lived, and many women feel only discomfort during the procedure.

A Pap smear (or Pap test, also known as a Pap test) is a laboratory test used to detect abnormalities in the cells of the cervix. This test is crucial for the early diagnosis of precancerous changes or cervical cancer. A sample of cells is taken from the cervix during a gynecological examination.

Pap test is important because it enables early detection of precancerous changes on the cervix that can lead to cervical cancer. Early detection enables timely intervention and treatment, which reduces the risk of developing cancer.

It is recommended that women start having a Pap test at age 21 or three years after becoming sexually active. The test should be repeated every 2-3 years, depending on the doctor's advice and previous results.

A Pap smear is usually not painful, but it can cause discomfort. The doctor uses a special instrument (speculum) to open the vagina and take a sample of cells from the cervix. This procedure only takes a few seconds, but many women feel pressure or slight pain during the test.

If a Pap test shows abnormalities, it does not necessarily mean you have cancer. In many cases, abnormal results indicate precancerous changes that can be cured. The doctor may recommend additional tests, such as a colposcopy, to examine the situation in more detail and determine the appropriate treatment.

It is recommended that you do not perform a PAPA test during your period, as the blood can affect the test results. Also, avoid sexual intercourse, the use of vaginal drugs, spermicides and tampons for at least 24 to 48 hours before the test, so that the results are accurate.

Yes, there is a possibility of false negative results, especially if the cell sample is not taken properly. Therefore, it is important to repeat the test at regular intervals, and if there is doubt, the doctor may recommend additional tests or a repeat Pap test.

Yes, the Pap test is also recommended for women who are not sexually active, because changes on the cervix can occur for other reasons, such as infections or hormonal changes.

Yes, a gynecological examination can reveal signs of cancer, such as abnormal changes in the cervix, ovaries, uterus or other parts of the reproductive system. However, the Pap test is specific for the early detection of cervical cancer, while other types of tests may be needed to detect ovarian, uterine or other organ cancers.

A negative Pap test result means that there are currently no abnormal cells on the cervix. However, this does not mean that you are completely protected from all diseases or infections, so it is important to regularly perform gynecological examinations and be aware of other factors that can affect the health of the reproductive system.

It is recommended that women perform a Pap test every 2-3 years, depending on previous results and the advice of the doctor. Women over the age of 30 can be tested every 5 years if they have negative results and if the test includes HPV testing.

Yes, it is possible to have a normal PAPA test result and have an infection at the same time, because the PAPA test only detects changes in the cells of the cervix, not all types of infections. To detect infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea or HPV, the doctor may recommend additional tests or swabs.
