Easy Anal Pap Smear with HPV Screening
At CM Mediclinic in Chiang Mai, we offer comprehensive anal cancer screening services, including anal Pap smear and anal HPV testing. These tests are important tools for early detection of abnormal cells and high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which are known risk factors for anal cancer.
Why Consider Anal Cancer Screening?
Anal cancer rates have been increasing, particularly in individuals with higher risk profiles, such as:
• Men who have sex with men (MSM).
• People living with HIV.
• Individuals with a history of genital warts or HPV-related diseases.
• Patients with weakened immune systems.
Early screening helps detect precancerous changes before symptoms appear. Timely detection means better outcomes and simpler treatment.
What Is an Anal Pap Smear?
The anal Pap smear is a simple, painless procedure that collects cells from the anal canal to check for abnormalities. It is similar to a cervical Pap test. The sample is analysed in our laboratory to identify dysplastic (precancerous) cells.
What Is an Anal HPV Test?
The anal HPV test detects the presence of high-risk HPV types, which are strongly linked to anal cancer development. It can be done from the same sample as the Pap smear or as a separate swab.
What to Expect During the Test:
• Quick, in-clinic procedure (5–10 minutes).
• No need for anaesthesia or special preparation.
• Results available in 7-10 days.
• Confidential and discreet service.
