Pap and HPV test
The Pap test and HPV test are employed to detect any abnormal changes in cervical cells that may lead to cervical cancer or infections such as human papillomavirus, which is the primary cause of cervical cancer. The procedure requires lying on your back with your feet supported, while a gynecologist uses a metal speculum to access the cervix by separating the vaginal walls. Next, a spatula is used to collect one or two small samples of cells from the cervix. These samples are then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The specialist can send the results to you via email, which typically takes two to three weeks to obtain.

Colposcopy
A colposcopy is a test used to help diagnose genital warts, cervicitis, and precancerous cells in the cervix, vagina, and vulva. As with a pap and HPV test, the gynecologist will place a speculum to keep the vaginal walls open. Then, the doctor will wash the cervix with a vinegar solution to facilitate the location of abnormal cells. Next will look into the cervix through the colposcope. If the doctor finds abnormal cells will collect a small sample of tissue that will be sent to testing. Usually takes two to three weeks to get the results, the specialist can send them to your e-mail.
