Description

A Pap smear screens for cervical cell changes to help detect early signs of cervical cancer, recommended every 3 years for women aged 21–65; in China, costs typically range ¥200–¥500, with ChinaMedicalHub assisting with hospital booking and interpreter support.

Main Uses

Cervical smear tests are primarily used for early detection of cervical cancer and pre-cancerous conditions. They help in identifying cellular abnormalities that may lead to cancer if left untreated. This test is recommended for women aged 21-65, especially those who are sexually active, as part of routine gynecological care.

Normal Range

A normal cervical smear (Pap smear) result indicates no presence of abnormal cells. The report typically categorizes findings as 'Negative for Intraepithelial Lesion or Malignancy', which means there are no signs of cancer or pre-cancerous changes.

Low Values - Possible Causes

The concept of 'low' does not apply to cervical smear results in the traditional sense, but an unsatisfactory sample might be due to: Insufficient cellularity, Excessive blood or inflammation, Air-drying artifact, Poor fixation, Contamination

High Values - Possible Causes

Similarly, 'high' values do not apply, but abnormal results can indicate: Infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Cervical dysplasia (abnormal cell growth), Inflammation, Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), Carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma
