Contact Us to Schedule a Pap Smear Exam and Cervical Cancer Screening
It’s never too early to get tested or screened for cancer. At our facility, we prioritize your health to ensure all of our patients consider cervical cancer screening. Women over the age of 30 can test positive for cervical cancer. This cancer is caused by human papillomavirus or HPV. Young women take the HPV vaccine in their teen years to reduce their chances of contracting this cancer. When you reach your mid-twenties, it’s recommended to get a pap test or HPV test as a part of the cervical cancer screening process.
Cervical cancer screenings offer patients the best chance at finding cervical cancer as early as possible. In doing so, we can discuss early treatment options which can be most successful. Not only that, but these screenings also help discover abnormal cervical cell changes. Finding these abnormalities, or pre-cancers, allows us to treat them before they turn into cervical cancer. Generally, women with cervical cancer do not have any symptoms until the problem becomes bigger. When this happens, women often experience abnormal bleeding, bleeding between periods, longer or heavier periods, pain during sex, pain in the pelvic region, and others. It is important that you do not put off speaking to us when you notice these symptoms as ignoring them could allow cancer to grow and lower your chance for successful treatment.
If you or a loved one thinks it’s time to pursue a cervical cancer screening exam, please
call our office today. We proudly provide pap smear exams for the women of Western New York, including Amherst, Buffalo, and Tonawanda, NY.
