PAP SMEAR-LBC

What is a Pap Smear-LBC Test?

A Pap Smear-LBC (Liquid-Based Cytology) test is a screening test used to detect abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. It plays an important role in the early detection of cervical cancer and precancerous conditions, often before any symptoms develop.

Unlike the conventional Pap smear, the Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) method preserves cervical cells in a special liquid, resulting in a cleaner and more accurate sample for examination. Doctors commonly recommend a Pap Smear-LBC test in Kekri as part of routine women's health checkups, especially for women aged 21 years and above or those who are sexually active.

Regular screening helps identify abnormal cervical cells early, allowing timely treatment and reducing the risk of cervical cancer.

Pap Smear-LBC Test Parameters

The Pap Smear-LBC test generally includes:

• Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) – Examines cervical cells for abnormal or precancerous changes.
• Cell Adequacy Assessment – Ensures the collected sample is suitable for accurate analysis.
• Detection of Cellular Abnormalities – Identifies abnormal, precancerous, or cancerous cervical cells.

Depending on your medical history or doctor's advice, an HPV (Human Papillomavirus) test may also be recommended along with the Pap Smear-LBC test.
