HPV Test with Pap Smear / Cervical Cancer Screening at Emirates Hospitals Group. Cervical cancer develops in the cells of the cervix, often caused by persistent infection with high-risk strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). It is one of the most preventable cancers when detected early, making regular screening a vital aspect of women’s healthcare.

Importance of HPV Test
Cervical cancer often shows no symptoms in its early stages, making regular screening essential. Early detection can help identify precancerous changes or HPV infections, allowing for timely treatment and preventing the progression to cancer.
How Are the Tests Performed?
- PAP Smear: A healthcare provider gently collects cells from your cervix using a small brush or spatula. The sample is then examined under a microscope to identify any abnormal changes.
- HPV Test: Often performed at the same time as a PAP smear, this test analyzes cervical cells to detect high-risk HPV strains using advanced molecular techniques.
Both procedures are quick, minimally invasive, and typically painless, taking only a few minutes to complete.
Benefits of Early Detection
- Higher Treatment Success Rates: Early-stage cervical abnormalities are easier and less invasive to treat.
- Prevention of Cancer: Identifying and addressing precancerous changes can stop cervical cancer before it starts.
- Improved Quality of Life: Early intervention minimizes the physical, emotional, and financial impact of late-stage cancer.
Symptoms of Cervical Cancer
While early stages are typically asymptomatic, advanced cervical cancer may present with:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding (e.g., after intercourse or between periods).
- Persistent pelvic pain.
- Unusual vaginal discharge.
- Discomfort or pain during intercourse.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your PAP Smear or HPV Test results are abnormal, it doesn’t mean you have cancer. It may indicate precancerous cell changes or the presence of high-risk HPV strains. Your doctor will discuss the next steps, which may include further testing or a follow-up procedure to monitor and treat the condition.
Both the HPV Test and PAP Smear are usually done during a single visit.
- HPV Test: A sample of cervical cells is collected using a small brush or spatula during the pelvic exam. The sample is then sent to a lab for testing.
- PAP Smear: The healthcare provider collects cervical cells using a small brush or spatula, which are then examined under a microscope to check for abnormal changes.
An HPV Test is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of high-risk strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical cells. These high-risk strains are known to cause changes in the cervix that may lead to cervical cancer.
A PAP Smear Test, also known as a Pap test, is a screening procedure where cells are gently collected from the cervix and examined under a microscope. It helps identify abnormal or precancerous changes in the cervical cells that may lead to cervical cancer if left untreated.
A HPV test (with pap smear) costs only AED 550 at Emirates Hospitals in Dubai and is available across most locations.
