Pap Smear, HPV Testing & Colposcopy

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when detected early. Dr. Namrata Parida offers essential cervical screening services including Pap smears, HPV testing, and colposcopy to protect women’s long-term health.

Pap smear is a quick, painless test that checks for precancerous changes in cervical cells. Dr. Parida recommends it routinely for women over 21 or those who are sexually active. During the test, a small sample of cells is collected from the cervix and sent to a lab for analysis.

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) testing may be performed alongside the Pap smear or as a follow-up in specific cases. If abnormal results are found, Dr. Parida advises further evaluation with colposcopy—a detailed examination of the cervix using a specialized microscope. If necessary, a biopsy is taken during the same visit.

She ensures each step is explained clearly and performed with care. Her gentle, respectful approach helps reduce anxiety around these tests, especially for first-timers. Dr. Parida also educates women about HPV vaccination, prevention, and the importance of regular screening even after childbirth or menopause.

These simple tests can be life-saving, and Dr. Parida is committed to making them a routine part of every woman’s wellness plan.
