Cervical Cancer Screening & Vaccine

Cervical Cancer Screening & Vaccine in Ahmedabad

Early Detection, Lifelong Protection at Bhagyoday Women’s Care Hospital

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when detected early. Unfortunately, many women delay screening due to lack of awareness or hesitation. Regular cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination can significantly reduce the risk and protect long-term health.

At Bhagyoday Women’s Care Hospital, Ahmedabad, we offer comprehensive Cervical Cancer Screening & Vaccine in Ahmedabad under the expert care of Dr. Shashikala H. Sahu (Senior Gynecologist with 25+ Years of Experience).

Our goal is early detection, prevention, and complete women-centered care in a safe and confidential environment.

What is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer develops in the cells of the cervix — the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Most cervical cancer cases are caused by persistent infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

HPV is a common virus transmitted through intimate contact. In many cases, the body clears the virus naturally. However, in some women, long-term HPV infection can cause abnormal cell changes that may develop into cancer if untreated.

The good news is — cervical cancer is highly preventable with regular screening and vaccination.

Why Cervical Cancer Screening is Important

Cervical cancer often develops slowly over years. Early stages usually do not show noticeable symptoms. That is why screening is essential.

Regular screening helps:

✔ Detect precancerous changes
✔ Identify HPV infection early
✔ Prevent cancer development
✔ Reduce mortality risk
✔ Provide peace of mind

Screening saves lives.

Cervical Cancer Screening Services at Bhagyoday Women’s Care Hospital

A Pap smear is a simple, painless test that collects cells from the cervix to check for abnormal changes.

Who Should Get a Pap Smear?

Women aged 21–65 Every 3 years (as advised) More frequently if high risk

HPV Testing

HPV testing identifies high-risk strains of the virus that are linked to cervical cancer.

It may be done:

Along with Pap smear
As primary screening in certain age groups

HPV testing increases accuracy in detecting potential risks.

Colposcopy (If Needed)

If screening results show abnormalities, colposcopy helps examine the cervix more closely.

Early intervention prevents progression.

HPV Vaccine – Protect Against Cervical Cancer

The HPV vaccine protects against the most dangerous HPV strains responsible for cervical cancer.

Who Should Take the HPV Vaccine?

Girls aged 9–14 (ideal age)
Women up to 45 years (after consultation)

Vaccination works best before exposure to HPV but can still offer protection later.

Number of Doses:

2 doses (ages 9–14)
3 doses (15 years and above)

Vaccination does not eliminate the need for screening — both work together for maximum protection.

Symptoms of Cervical Cancer (Late Stages)

Although early stages show no symptoms, advanced cases may cause:

Abnormal vaginal bleeding
Bleeding after intercourse
Pelvic pain
Foul-smelling discharge
Pain during intercourse

Do not wait for symptoms. Regular screening is key.

Who is at Higher Risk?

Women may have higher risk if:

Early marriage or sexual activity
Multiple partners
Smoking
Weak immune system
Long-term oral contraceptive use
Family history

Even women without risk factors should undergo screening.
