NCSM 3D Mammogram and Pap Smear

3D Mammogram is recommended to be done annually for all women aged above 40 to screen for breast cancer.

Pap smear is recommended every 2 -3  years for women between ages 21 to 65. Frequency should be greater for women who are at increased risk of HPV infection, such as:

• Sexually Active
• Previous Pap smear with abnormal results

3D Mammogram

Mammogram is usually used to screen for breast cancer even when it's small and before a lump can be felt by using low-energy X-rays to examine the human breast. 

Breast cancer has a high survival and recovery rate if it is detected early.

Pap Smear

A Pap smear involves collecting cells from your cervix — the lower, narrow end of your uterus that's at the top of your vagina.

Detecting cervical cancer early with a Pap smear gives you a greater chance at a cure. A Pap smear can also detect changes in your cervical cells that suggest cancer may develop in the future. Detecting these abnormal cells early with a Pap smear is your first step in halting the possible development of cervical cancer.

Your doctor will gently insert an instrument called a speculum into your vagina. The speculum holds the walls of your vagina apart so that your doctor can easily see your cervix. Inserting the speculum may cause a sensation of pressure in your pelvic area.
